Total precipitation on the euro..

As LEK said need to watch out for a potential dry slot if the system gets to far north..

I would also caution against WB :weenie: Kuchera maps which are always way higher than PW..

Not terribly cold aloft, more so at the surface..

Yeah. I hate kuchera maps. In this case I think it was an inch or two apart. So I threw it out there. I think enhancement is the real wild card. Rochester can easily double global outputs with these tracks. 4 becomes 8. Not a huge storm just a great track for a change. Sorry Bufwx lol

Something remarkable happened at BUF yesterday...We had our first below normal day in 23 days and the first one in January. That makes a paltry 2 out of the last 35 or so days below normal. 

That's a pretty crazy statistic. We're at +6.9 for January. January 2020 was +8.1

The main focus through the short term period will revolve around a
relatively minor snow event late Monday night through Tuesday night.
A well defined mid level wave will cross Iowa Monday night, then
open up and de-amplify with time as it reaches the eastern Great
Lakes by late Tuesday. At the surface low pressure will move into
the Ohio Valley Monday night before moving along the NY/PA border
Tuesday. The entire system surface and aloft will be weakening with
time as it moves east towards our area.

The snow in this system will come in several different batches, as
is often the case with synoptic systems. An initial wing of warm
advection and isentropic upglide will reach the western Southern
Tier by late Monday night, then spread into the Buffalo and
Rochester areas by, or shortly after daybreak Tuesday, finally
reaching the eastern Lake Ontario region in the afternoon. The
steadiest snow and best accumulations will focus with this initial
period of snow. Later Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday night some
light snow will linger, with a minor uptick in coverage overnight
Tuesday night as weak DPVA crosses the eastern Great Lakes with the
mid level wave, and northeast flow off Lake Ontario provides a
little added moisture.

Snowfall with this system continues to look minor, with 2-4 inches
total expected in most locations. The area that is most likely to be
in the higher end of that range is from the Genesee Valley to
western Finger Lakes where forcing and moisture look to maximize.
Main change with this forecast cycle was to bring POPS and
measurable snow a little farther north across the eastern Lake
Ontario region given the farther north trend in model guidance.
Precipitation type will be all snow for most of the area. The GFS
and GEM bring a minor warm layer aloft into the western Southern
Tier Tuesday, while the NAM keeps the column colder. Given the model
uncertainty, stayed close to continuity with a chance of sleet
mixing in across the Southern Tier.

The system will exit off the east coast Wednesday morning. Lingering
moisture and northerly upslope flow may still produce a few light
snow showers south of Lake Ontario in the morning, but this should
end in the afternoon.

    Doesn't sound very impressive here...lol

"Hitchcock" certainly wrote a "horror" of a weather discussion... the basic tone was "meh" with words like "minor" and "few" scattered throughout.

Mix gets to Syracuse on the GFS..You can probably add a few miles lol Soon I'll be mixing.. Maybe the gfs is to far north.

If we end up in a long period of mixing, I swear.....................................................................................
