Thursday night into Friday, an area of low pressure will track
northeast across the Central Great Lakes, occluding in the process.
Precipitation will overspread the region as the area of low pressure
tracks across the Great Lakes. First the warm front associated with
the system will track northeast across the area through Friday
morning, followed by the cold front for the afternoon.

Proximity to the triple point for the area of low pressure will be
important for temperatures and precip types for this event. Guidance
is split on triple point location and how quickly the cold front
moves through. Some guidance brings stronger warm air advection
north ahead of the cold front Friday morning allowing sfc temps. to
warm a bit more before the cold front passes. Other guidance is
quicker with the cold frontal passage, which would mean cooler
temperatures for Friday.

Chance POPs will continue through Saturday with cooling temperatures
aloft, and the potential for lake effect.

Starting at the end of the long term period, temperatures look to
cool below normal again as another arctic airmass drops south out of
Canada. Long range guidance suggesting 850H temps approaching -25C
in the first half of the week of Feb. 7th. This would be the coldest
airmass of the winter thus far if it comes to fruition.

Looks like it wants to develop some good lake snows se of lake too.

I think that's exactly how SYR could do quite well out of this. Maybe we get ~5-6" from the main synaptics but then lake assist in the end gets us over the hump, so to speak. Seen it many times before. Takes a while but we get there...

Exactly. That lake enhanced snow is underdone and you have to remember the lakes are warmer than normal. Living here 4 years now I find the Canadian models see this better than the other globals - and earlier.

IMBY post..... love seeing  Western Madison County in a snow maximum on pretty much all the models now.

 

That said, I think this has room for improvement for all of central and Western New York.

Yeah, almost all of them have that solid band in Madison and Onondaga counties. This afternoon's maps they will probably bring the 8 inch line to your area and have Northwest Onondaga at 6. They live to put us in our own little space

So BUF managed to break double digits for Jan snowfall thanks to the 2” of cotton balls that fell the last few days. Finished at 10” for the month, 20” below 30” average. 13” fell last Jan, so the last 2 Jan’s combined are still 7” below normal. Have to think the 10” this month is top 10 lowest...?

Hope I’m wrong, but I would be very surprised if BUF breaks an inch with this next system. 

Doesn't even make the Top 10 least snowiest list

Squeeze play going on right now with the 700MB LP, as its hitting a cinder-block wall, lol, coupled with a super dry airmass suffice to say, we won't be seeing any accumulating snow till tomorrow afternoon cause its just eating away at the moisture and it does so for a long time

shes also moving ENE at a snails pace, lol. Whats important is where this LP starts to decay while most of the energy starts to transfer to the coastal so we'll see how this all plays out.
