Be crazy if KBUF hits 100" with virtually no LES events above 6"
How close are we now?
Edit - looks like BUF is at 95.3. Just behind ROC and well behind SYR (122)

Incredible storm for all of us. Starting to look like far eastern areas might have another big hit middle of this week. Not feeling it for CNY/WNY at this point, but still a bit of time for changes.

The below text is from a Washington Post (Capital Weather Gang) article covering the big storm in the North Atlantic (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2015/12/28/freak-storm-in-north-atlantic-may-push-temperatures-70-degrees-above-normal-at-north-pole/). I find it a bit troubling that there appears to be a 20 degree spread between what is accepted as the current average temperature at the North Pole. We always hear about how high the positive temperature departures are running in the Arctic, but how is that determined if we have "conflicting information" about average temperatures at high latitudes?
There is conflicting information about what the average temperature at the North Pole is at this time of year. An educational website run by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute indicates it is -40 degrees. However, meteorologist Ryan Maue indicates a re-analysis dataset suggests it is closer to -20 degrees (-29 Celsius). This story has been updated based on the assumption the average temperature is around -20 degrees, meaning the departure from average as a result of this storm would be over 50 degrees (as opposed to 70 degrees as stated when published initially).

Good luck in Binghamton area. My daughter attends the university there and they’ve already cancelled classes on Thursday (coming off winter break this week).
