Back to Back Major Synoptic Snowstorms!

KBUF says mixing line won't make it as far north as some models are saying

Area of light snow currently spreading across the region associated
with a weak inverted trough. Still looks like we will receive some
minor accumulations, a general 1" to maybe up to 2 inches in some
locations. The snow will slowly taper off as we head into the
afternoon hours. This will then be followed by a lull in
precipitation later this afternoon with several hours with little to
no accumulating snowfall.

The lull in the precipitation will be short lived with snow moving
back in as a stronger storm approaches from the south this evening.
Light snow will overspread the region and pick up in intensity with
the arrival of a 50 to 55 knot LLJ. Deep moisture and lift extending
well through the DGZ will likely lead to snowfall rates exceed 1" to
as highs as 2 inches per hour at times overnight. The sfc low with
this system will track from the southern Appalachians and then pass
by just to our south by early Tuesday morning. With that said, there
has been some concern that the p-type will potentially transition to
a mix of snow/sleet. 15/06Z BUFKIT sounding profiles right now show
this might occur over our far southeastern and eastern counties.
This would be for Allegany, Livingston, and possibly Lewis county,
if enough warm air is able to sneak in aloft to change it over.
Otherwise, for a majority of our area it will be an all snow event
with significant accumulations. The sweet spot right now appears to
be along and just north of a tight baroclinic zone setting up across
the region from the Niagara Frontier extending NE into the North
Country. This is where snowfall amounts will likely approach 12" or
even a bit more with contributions off Lake Ontario. Anyways, no
changes to headlines with a Winter Storm Warning going into effect
tonight which continues through Tuesday afternoon.

Hmm...this really surprises me...especially with Madison and Cortland county included. They must not be buying the GFS.
