  2. I agree with DeltaT13. Normal highs for this date is 46 at KSYR. How many Thanksgivings recently have had temperatures above normal and no snow going into December. I’m at 18 inches already this season. The snow is picking up in intensity as the arctic front approaches. The squall line off the lake is getting stronger but will probably weaken as it moves south and loses it’s lake connection.

  4. My wife just took the dog out and had a difficult time walking him around our neighborhood. The town plow was plowing our development and she said he was having a hard time pushing the heavy snow. The driver told her and she concurs there’s around a foot of snow. I’ll go out in a while and try to get a better measurement. 

  5. KBGM discussion:
    .SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
    325 PM Update...A complex, early winter storm is still on track
    to affect our forecast area by late tomorrow afternoon through
    Friday morning. Thermal profiles, and temporal changes of the
    airmasses passing through parts of our forecast area are the
    main challenges to this forecast leading to considerable
    uncertainty in precipitation type and snow/sleet and ice
    accumulations. The most confident areas for changeover to sleet
    and freezing rain remain over our southern zones as the warm
    conveyor wraps into the deepening cyclone. After an initial
    burst of warm advection snow, the changing precip types will
    tend to limit accumulations from the Wyoming Valley to the
    Poconos and Catskills.
    
    Further north and west...model blends do suggest some warm air
    intruding aloft, but also suggest that dynamic cooling will
    overcome the advective properties of this system as it pulls
    away on Friday morning. We expect that much of CNY,
    particularly the Finger Lakes Region to southern Tug Hill, will
    remain mainly snow with varying intensity. The heaviest snowfall
    could come later Thursday night into early Friday morning. Snow
    amount solutions are all over the place depending on the warm
    layer and resulting snow-liquid ratios that fluctuate throughout
    the entire event. The Canadian GEM and ECMWF models would blitz
    our area under warning criteria snow, and then some. The warm
    intrusion on the NAM is stronger and further north, while the
    GFS is holding the precip shield closest to the coastal low.
    Given this uncertainty, we have continued the Watch as previously
    issued, and expanded it throughout the rest of CNY and the
    northern Tier PA. Ensemble precip-type probabilities are also of
    little help to pinpoint the scenario at this time. Continuing
    to highlight the potential, but not certainty, of excessive snow
    accumulations is prudent at this time. What is reasonably
    confident to say is that we will see a wintry storm system
    affecting our area Thursday into Friday with areas of slippery
    and hazardous travel almost a guarantee. Later forecasts will
    be adjusted to pin down the snow accumulations.
    
    Temperatures colder than normal, but rising toward 40 again on
    Friday. Any lingering precipitation through Friday night will be
    scattered in nature and mainly focused on the downwind lake
    effect tracks from Lake Ontario. Right now, the lake generated
    instability does not seem to be enough for significant snows
    into Friday evening. This may settle out for the weekend as the
    air chills.
