I am quickly learning Syracuse sucks synoptically. I expressed my concerns about this a couple days ago and some said downsloping doesn't occur here.

WNW winds are the only thing that seem to be able to produce here 

Lol Syracuse doesn't suck synoptically. It's literally the best city in New York for synoptic/LES combo. There is a reason they average more per year then any city in USA with 100k people.

They did until I moved here. Lol. It's been horrible bad luck. Sorry... getting off now because I am irritated and am done filling everyone's morning with negativity.

Here we go. Now they see what I’ve been yammering on about ALL week. Let’s GO! 

Second issue is from mid afternoon through early evening concerning
a period of heavy snow for especially Monroe, Wayne and Ontario
counties. This would include Rochester Metro and specifically the
commute home this afternoon. All high-res models very insistent
on backing swath of moderate to heavy snow over North Country
/eastern Lake Ontario over this area during this time. Snowfall
rates 1-2 inches per hour likely which will result in a very
rough commute in the Rochester area. Going to start messaging
this potential and will look into whether warning will be needed
as seems at least possible some spots will see 7+ inches in
less than 12 hours (warning critiera) and even if we fall just
short of this, the impact to the commute could be significant
enough to justify. So far the snow is having a hard time moving
west, but radar trends do indicate it is starting to do this.

I'll believe it when I see it.  7+ inches, give me a ****ing break.  1-2" on the high end.

I  mean is no one at that office actually looking at the radar and what is happening.  There has been heavy snow heading in our direction for 12 hours now and none has made it here yet.  There is obviously impressive subsidence and dry air to contend with.  Current radar is drying up as fast as it has been all morning.

If all the precip I've seen on radar, the past couple days actually fell, then maybe we'd have a few to several inches but damn, talk about a mostly virga storm, WOW!  Look at the North Country where snow wasn't even forecasted, lol, just unreal. The models did absolutely horrific with this event and they continue to print out snow for the area.

...HEAVY SNOW LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING...

Snow will increase by mid afternoon and become heavy by late
afternoon into early this evening. Snowfall rates after 3 PM over
1 inch per hour are expected. Since the heavy snow will occur
from late afternoon into the early evening, expect a very slow
evening commute in some areas. Give yourself extra time to reach
your destination.

Starting to get concerned about this.

Shouldn't this have been firing by now if we were going to get significant returns in Monroe County?

Here was the NWS AFD yesterday lol

Now they forecast  what guidance is showing so hard for me to put blame lol


Expect accumulations to be limited to 2-4
inches for most of Jefferson and Lewis counties spread over 36
hours.
