That arctic front should be pretty strong on Sunday. I'd expect a pretty strong Lake enhanced band to drift from north to south. Even low res GFS is showing it, something to watch.
It did okay but didn't catch on nearly as quickly as the GFS did. The UKIE was by far the worst model and not sure how it ranks 2nd best in verification scores as its consistently terrible.
Syracuse is having a really rough year

congrats on the storm! Highest total from WNY ended up being 25.5", most impressive part of this storm was this observation.

Couple videos from the storm.
One last thought on this storm. The GFS nailed the NW trend a few days ahead of every model and within 24-48 hours the NAM/RGEM nailed the placement of heaviest snowband. The GEFS were completely worthless and the OP GFS had a consistent track for 4-5 days before the storm hit.
Going to be chilly. No way we go cold and dry for 2 weeks straight in January with warm lakes. I like the pattern for those SE of Ontario vs NE of Erie.
