We’ll probably end up with more from this Sunday surprise than we will from the storm tonight, lol.

Behind the front, much colder Arctic air is inbound for Tuesday night through the rest of midweek. Signals are starting to show up for a possible significant lake effect snow event, including potential Huron-to-Ontario connection, into at least portions of Onondaga-Madison-Oneida counties and lasting through at least Wednesday night and perhaps well into Thursday. At least scattered snow showers and flurries can be expected elsewhere, especially Twin Tiers northward. Also, wind chills will likely be below zero at times Tuesday night-Wednesday morning.

Coming down pretty good now with nice sized flakes. Temperature is dropping but still at 34 so it’s having a hard time accumulating.

At least the sun is setting so it will have a better chance to accumulate.

Let’s hope so since I’m basically downwind from you.

Love a Caddyshack reference!

We can still hope for one big snowstorm but as we go deeper into March you realize we’re fighting a losing battle to the change of seasons.

Visible satellite view of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario this afternoon. Erie is almost completely ice covered while Ontario is mostly ice free.

It seems to me that the problem with this storm isn’t the track but the fact that it seems the heaviest precipitation is confined very close to the center of the low.

12Z Euro has a 986 low over Cape Cod on Monday morning.

What a gorgeous day - deep blue sky, warm almost March sun, fresh snow on the ground! Here’s a pictures of frozen Oneida Lake at Oneida Shores Park.

After 7.3 inches yesterday, KSYR is now up to 97.4 inches for the season. Syracuse should get more snow from Sunday’s storm than Buffalo so the gap should narrow even more.

5.4 inches here. I think I was between the heavier returns that were just to my south and the greater amounts over the Tug.

Just over an inch here so far.

Snow has picked up here. Ksyr reported an inch between noon and 1.

Low moves from Arkansas at 12Z Sunday to the Maine coast by 12 Z Monday. Looks like an ideal track for us.

My prayers are with your mom, you and your family. Hopefully there’s a good plan to attack this. Is she going to Roswell?

Hardly any wind, the snow is falling almost straight down.

Snowing steadily now. Flake size is decent.

There is also a large amount of residual road salt on the roads from previous storms. That being said we are getting to the point in the season where it will be difficult to accumulate on road surfaces because of the increasing insolation.

Snow has started here.

Virga storm here. Dew point 2.

Actually the GEM has 4 storms affecting the northeast over the next week starting with today’s event!

They just talked about it on The Weather Channel. The Euro has a decent sized storm moving into the northeast while the GFS just has a flat wave with some post frontal snow.

Did you see where last week there was a 200+ kt jet streak at about 39,000 ft. over Pennsylvania. An international flight heading to Europe got caught up in it and they measured the plane’s ground speed at over 800 mph!
