Some decent members in there for Sunday/Monday..

 

GEFSNE_prec_snens_114 (2).png

Surface temps will be the issue..

During this period a progressive, Pacific based flow will occur,
with deep cold air locked well to the north, and allowing for milder
air from the south to expand northward. Within this flow several
shortwaves will bring precipitation to our region, with the most
potent shortwave late Sunday night and Monday.

With the cold air locked to the north and a milder airmass trying to
push northward, precipitation type through the week will be marginal
for snow, with likely a mixed precipitation event of sleet and plain
rain for each shortwave passage.

Temperatures will become milder, with high temperatures in the mid
30s to lower 40s Monday through Thursday. This will allow for some
compaction to the snowpack...and melting, but no flooding expected.

This is why I just can't give this winter a good grade. The synoptic setup... :( Such a kick in the butt when there is plenty of cold down south and they get a train of snow events...then just a few days later, "cold is locked in the north" and we get a train of mixed crap.

No matter how this winter went, this is extremely impressive

I always find it humorous that media outlets use such negative, dramatic terminology towards winter weather... "punished" and "plagued"... I mean, I know it's been harsh for those places and they aren't prepared...but I don't find winter weather "punishing" at all.

Rather, the heat of summer "wreaks brutal havoc on layers of my epidermis and murders me by causing a great removal of water from my physical body; In which I assault an air conditioner as I desperately struggle for survival as the enemy reigns on for 90+ days."

But you won't ever hear that in the headlines...

0z RGEM, GFS, and GFS v16 look about same as 18z for band placement.

NAM 3k 1 hour panels had a few different streamers that seemed to consolidate into a stronger band from Wayne to Cortland county, which also shows up well on the precip map. Since it's only a 60 hour run and about 30-36 hour period of snow, the map is a little more messy since it goes from H12-60.

Colder air in the wake of the trough will start to move across the
region late this afternoon and particularly tonight. This will allow
for at least a moderate lake response on a west to northwest flow.
While it will certainly be cold enough for lake induced
instability...there remains uncertainty as to the steering flow...
and for Lake Erie the amount of open water. Accumulations of at
least 3-5 inches will be found southeast of both lakes
tonight... with potentially several more inches possible in the
lee of an nearly ice free Lk Ontario.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Lake effect snows with some accumulations ESE of both lakes on
Saturday. Lake snows weaken Saturday night with synoptic moisture
stripping away and the influence from the incoming sfc ridge
tracking across the lower Ohio Valley.

That's because warm weather doesn't cause nearly the issues that cold weather and snow do, especially across the south. 8 million people were without power and 12 million people have to boil water, those are some insane stats. That is not counting the amount of deaths and injuries from car accidents. You cannot honestly compare 90 and sunny to 20 and blizzard conditions. Almost everyone has AC in their house and car now a days and pools in their backyards.
