I was just going to post the BGM map, which clearly follows that one. Very smart, as it takes all the runs going with the secondary and also includes the mesos having the primary lasting longer.
What is up with the magnet effect of Low Pressures to Western NY? It's not like Lake Erie is some warm source to draw the low nearby. The last 3 Winters where does a Low go? WNY.
There's always something: mixing, suppression, downsloping, dryslot, transferral, elevation, surface temperature...
My call from Sunday continues to look good: 6 inches if primary is in charge... 3 to 6 if transferral occurs faster.
Advisory event.
It's not like the latest one doesn't mesh with some of the other recent runs though.
I am thinking the Nams come back a bit on the 18Z runs
Rap is horrific too, but I hope its recent run comes close.
Yeah, I realize Syracuse seems to be on the edge with everything. However, even getting whiffed with those would bring a better chance for lake enhanced snows to CNY. With coastals absent, we haven't had much moisture going over the lakes to provide.
LOL. I call it as I see it. Undoubtedly, I look at the world more pessimistically, but I am constantly battling my idealist, dreamer mentality...which I would gladly take those Kuchera maps, but I will only get disappointed when my unrealistic expectations aren't met. (Currently working on those expectations in my personal life.)
All that to say... If you take a combo of what we are seeing, CNY is well positioned...but I am very cautious and trying to keep expectations in check.
I saw a couple comments on the BGM NWS Facebook page where citizens were ranting that forecasts used to be more accurate. They were saying how 1 to 18 inches (exaggerated, of course) is a ridiculous forecast and how are people supposed to rely on that.
I see their point. We just have too many weather models. We want sources to use to help fine-tune things...but at this point, the weather world needs to ask when is it too much? It's just confusing chaos.
It could work out perfectly for CNY, where the Low stalls and keeps us in the main band and then as the secondary takes over, we get additional amounts from that. I am actually a bit optimistic about that as a possibility. It's going to be close.
Nearly 60 degrees at midnight and now light snow falling. I am shocked that after a day of 60 and sunshine, and then a day with rain, 60 degrees, and a dewpoint in the 50s that I have any snow left...but I do.
Ugh. I don't know...Canadian and Ukie both coming in looking like the Euro has for days (of course) and the best snows, of course, missing Syracuse just to the south and east. Just can't win.
My call of 3 to 6 inches from the other day continues to look good. Perhaps more on the back if we get some lake involvement.
