Looks pretty good for those that get hit with NW flow the next 10 days or so. Couple decent events. I don't see any synoptic hits just lake effect behind cold fronts. I like the end of the GEFS, lets hope it stays like that.

It would be nice to get some SW flow events for the north towners.

WSYR local meteorologist are calling for 1-3 as the band oscillates and then it looks like they went with more of the southern model run of a band setting up shop over eastern cayuga/southwest onondaga.  i am with you tughillmatt, my name is matt as well and i just relocated last year from oswego down here to liverpool right off soule rd about a minute from rte 31...being new to the route 31 corridor, what kind of wind is the best setup for us that can produce a stationary band that doesnt jump right over us? Is there any historical archive maps of northern onondaga county that reflect past big pure lake effect events other then nws maps..i would assume a west to north west wind with more towards a northwest wind would be almost ideal..i was accustomed to oswego getting the winds on a west to slightly west north west wind. but i tended to find that oswego  had to have pretty light  calm  winds for a big time stationary band to set up over the city of oswego... i drive daily from liverpool to oswego and traveling up 481 the fulton/volney area always seems to be the sweet spot..let me know your thoughts with this storm regarding snow amounts and in general for northern onondaga.  Also if anyone can help me out and repost what i had seen a picture of from a good while back. it was a picture of the direction of the wind flow it had different arrows coming off the lake and for each arrow it showed the degree of wind flow for each angle.  would like a picture to relate to when the national weather service discussion talk about the wind direction degree relating it to my area.. Thanks everyone

Fulton's obs. temp is 32F right now. Curious if they're getting accumulating snow down the road. 

 

SUNY Oswego's on-campus tower reports 38F: https://www.oswego.edu/met_class/tower/

Latest metar from the Oswego County airport in Fulton is reporting light snow with 1 mile visibility. But in the remarks it states that visibility is variable from 1/2 to 5 miles. It’s possible that in one of those heavier squalls the temperature could fall to 32.

Band has been teasing here all day. Looks like it's heading north a bit. Yep, I can tell where this is going...

Southern Oswego County gets it...transitions and jumps over us to hit the Finger Lakes.

Right, @Syrmax? I think I'm getting the gist of this. lol

I think I read in one discussion that the L.O. band would be more westerly at first and sag to WNW flow over the night.  I never have much expectation with Fake Effect snow here.

WSYR NEWS CHANNEL 9 newest updated snowfall map for tonight...  based off this map looks like they have adjusted the highest snow totals and bullseye for the lake effect band to set up over southern oswego county into the night

I'd bet on this map verifying.

That's actually 6"-8" Mr Matt, 4"-6" for syracuse proper..

Yeah, I corrected it shortly after typing that. :) 

BGM mentioned in their headlines that the band could start affecting Northern part of Syracuse by sunset. I don't see that happening. The winds are reading at WNW, but I don't see that corresponding to the band yet.

Light snow falling here. The IP to snow transition happened around sunset. Snow is moderate at times but mostly light. Ground is dusted.

Temp = 33.5F, air at 2m near saturation.

You are going to quickly learn how a snowfall that would shut everything down in Tennessee is cleaned up in an hour and life goes on as if nothing ever happened. Sure, people will complain about the cold and snow cleanup...but usually you don't hear too much of that from "most" people until you get the 10 to 14 days of daily several inch snowfalls. Those really can be an inconvenience, as any time you go outside you're clearing a car off or shoveling. But us snow weenies LOVE that!
