Indexes going the right direction again. The biggest issue is the EPO, the most important index.

Can we move those totals a little east?

Despite the cold the last few days Buffalo is still + .8 on the season. With how the rest of this week goes, we will likely be +3-5 again. Not sure how second half of December plays out, but feel pretty confident in above average temps for Dec. I think April and May will be the only 2 months of the year with below normal temps.

A few twitter meteorologist accounts talking about SSW event and a cold January across the Conus.

Yeah, going to be close. I don't really trust the HRRR. It's hitting at perfect time overnight and rates should be pretty strong. Expect snow to develop after midnight even as far west as western NY due to isentropic upglide sweeping across region. WSW winds in blyr with temps just cool enough for lake enhancement (around -6C) will lead to precip maximums to northeast of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Forecast soundings point to mainly snow in these areas, even across Buffalo Metro and at Watertown, except maybe right along the immediate lakeshores. Not out of question that both of these lower elevation areas could see a quick inch, maybe two, of snow that could disrupt the early AM commute on Wednesday. A more middle ground for snow right now though is up to a sloppy inch which is what this forecast will carry.

First vaccines being administered in England today. Pretty huge day.

With how the Bills are playing right now I feel like we can beat any team on any given night. I haven't felt that way in over 2 decades. Since the 99 season.

Congrats wolf!

Going to be a strong band of Lake efect rain/wet snow overnight Tues into weds across WNY. Could see a few inches over higher elevations. Over an Inch QPF in tug region. 6" for you wolf?

Midnight runs look active and lots of chances at snow/LES.

Allen played at MVP level tonight. I think we can take the Steelers, they did not look good tonight. Chiefs are only team I'm really worried about in entire NFL.

2017-2019 was good for KBUF https://www.weather.gov/buf/BuffaloSnow

Yeah that was me 70-80" was my call. 10-15% below normal.

Okay negative Nancy. The expectations weren't high at all for this year. I said around 80" on the season would be the max.

1-3" possible overnight Weds, 4-8" across the tug.

EPS look better than OP runs

This is 3k feet this weekend

Depends on which model is right, but whatever you see at lower elevations, pretty much double that for 4-5k feet. Also upslope if any semblance of cold air. I'm telling you its a different world up there. I’ll be there December 18-20, next weekend.

Euro is a whole lot of ZZZzz

Whiteface summit has snow depth of 11" currently.

I saw some pictures at 4k feet of what looked like 10-15" of snow. That likely builds up to around 2-3' or so by next weekend. Almost all precip. above 4k is usually snow if temps average around normal down here.

EURO too progressive, no real lake effect behind cutter.
