Seems sort of stupid for BGM to include so many counties in the same advisory. Onondaga and Madison are not looking at ice, so why make it confusing and include us in an advisory discussing ice in southern counties? Most models are showing us in the 5 inch range at a minimum. I actually find it humorous how often they overlook Syracuse for its size. They rarely discuss weather for here and breeze right by it.

Yeah- they are terrible and I told this story many times.  We were getting crushed with LES years ago and had 6” on the ground @6pm with no signs of letting up.  I called the office in Binghamton to ask why there was not even an advisory posted.  The MET asked what I was talking about.  I informed him there was a stationary band sitting over northern Onondaga.  30 minutes later, a LES advisory was posted.  That’s also when I learned that they primarily rely on the Canadian model.  The guy was really nice and shared some good information.  The call ended and I thought to myself, “did that just happen?”

Rely on Canadian model for lake snow? They do seem pretty good for it

Thanks for sharing...and speaking up for the "forgotten ones." :lol:

We'll have to keep these guys on their feet.

Roc's yearly snowfall (on a good year) in two days.  

And great point BW, November 2014 is one of the most impressive snow events anywhere in North America IMO.  Accurate measurements were truly impossible in the heaviest bands, I think places made a run at 100"

A official station in Elma recorded 92", i measured 88" here with a max depth of 52" and places Northeast of me had higher QPF between both events. Someone definitely got 100.

Monday/Tuesdays storm looks wonky.  Looks like a blockbuster in the Midwest and then gets sheared.  $5 to whomever goes to the central PA board and reminds them that big storms always come NW!:lol:

That sheared storm is a miller b, a LP that transfers to off the coast.  They can work out for parts of upstate NY...lots of possibilities.

Lmao!  Yes- they need to stop worrying about the GDamn finger lakes and their backyard.  Would rather NWS Buffalo takes over our county.

I’m about as far north as you can be in the BGM forecast area and might as well be in Siberia as far as mesoscale events are concerned. There have been lake snow events that are entirely north of the route 31 corridor that Binghamton totally ignores. Before the NWS consolidated there was a forecast office at KSYR.  I’m sure the weather in northern Onondaga County wasn’t ignored then.

Was just looking through old weather bookmarks and found this link for Meteograms.  They only have one for Buffalo, but this is just such a clever and intuitive way to lay out an incredible amount of information.  You can see how all three systems during the next week will system pass through the atmosphere in that top graph (via temp profiles and moisture).  Of particular interest is that tiny window where extremely deep arctic air intersects a little blob of moisture on Friday Morning (Thickness lines flirting with sub 5000dm).  That seems like the window for the best lake effect.  Anyway I can't get over just how useful that one image is.  I'm definitely going to be coming back to it more often.  Wish they would crunch one for KROC.  

Looking further ahead you can see the next system and the thermal profile concerns that we will be dealing with....

Thanks. I've been trying to find this for awhile. I had it bookmarked on my last computer but haven't been able to find it on my new one. Have you used pivotal for their soundings? That is pretty useful too.

Holy smokes precip that is moving into Chautauqua County is already IP/ZR. Not a good sign for those of us near BUF. May start as a straight mix.

Cold air is deep from south towns to the lake plains, not as worried about that as I am about the dry slot tight behind it...NWS discussed this in their AFD as a possible bust low, even though model QPF is suggesting 3-7” across the Niagara Frontier...I think we see 1-3” at best
