Delta, you talking about just a get-together or perhaps maybe a Chase and a get together, LOL?

Probably just a get together but if it just so happens that there’s a chaseable event going on at the same time we could always try and meet there or something. Also what would be a good time frame for it? December or would after the holidays be better for everyone?

Id say after the holidays

CIPS Runs from this morning (based off GEFS, which is in REMARKABLE agreement with EPS). Mean snowfall plots for late next week/weekend and early the following week (picked mean rather than the 90th percentile plot which was maxing out the scale for both lakes!). So, after the front moves through next Tue/Wed, be ready for the cold and for the slightly-warmer-than-normal-lakes to be firing for a week or more!

We’d have to find somewhere that works for everyone, so buffalo probably isn’t the best pick being it’s so far west in Upstate. Somewhere around KROC might work as it would be an hour for the BUF folks and an hour for the KSYR crew.

Rochester is a good centralized location and we also get the least amount of legit lake effect of the three cities so perhaps this will be our consolation prize (not having to drive far).  Also, CNY-Freak..... Buffalo is only about an hour from KROC, so you can't be 45 minutes from KROC and 2.5 hours from Buffalo, haha, something doesnt add up.   Still a long drive for you, but maybe not 2.5 hours bad? 

Anyway, I'm onboard with this idea.  I rarely get to talk with people who share our affinity for winter weather.  It'd be nice to down some beers and reminisce.

My bad, Exit 45 is about 1:20 minutes so KROC, the city would be an additional 20 minutes or so. right? So yeah, about 1:40 minutes so that sounds better as I'm 30 miles North of the city. My previous residence was closer, lol, I am however about 45 minutes to the Waterloo outlets.

Im also kool with KROC being that its pretty much dead center between KBUF and KSYR. Well not dead center, but close!.

Just glancing at the 12Z GFS.  Still way out there, but lake effect late next week looks like it could be disrupted by a coastal storm.  Wouldn't that be perfect...Boston gets a foot of snow and we get wind shear.  Silly to look at details this far out, and things really look to explode over the lower lakes as we push through next weekend.  But goes to show lots of scenarios on the table between synoptic systems and anticipated lake effect.  Can't wait...

Nothing better than cold and dry conditions, lol.  Although KBUF does have a few chances as its showing at least 10" for the City.  Yeah its 10 days out,I know but I wanna see how it changes as I'm archiving this outbreak, but i'm really just looking at the overall pattern. For the immediate CNY area, it looks absolutely horrific, but thankfully, it'll change definitively!  if i'm not allowed to post these lemme know and I'll stop immediately!

If it's a big event it'll be north of us up in Appalachia North, where no one lives. Almost always is. So, hoping for some transient LES conditions to develop, else it's just cold and dry here. Of course, looking at global models a week or two out for specific lake snow expectations is a fool's game. All we can expect at this point is that it looks to get cold for a while (it will be December after all) and Joe Bastardi will be aggressively mongering...

You guys are seriously looking at wind direction from 222hrs out? Some forecasters have a difficult time dealing with wind fluctuations from 24hrs out, and you guys are looking at a surface map, 9 days from now, smh.

Welcome back Ayuud. These forums are all about speculation. My favorite part of the storm is the time leading up to it. It's all a learning experience for me. I think someone will get feet and feet or snow in this pattern come for December.

The blocking is usually predictable with indices. The type of blocking we are seeing is conducive to migrating bands. But the weak low pressures/clippers will be riding along that trough axis. This gives me more confidence than usual for an extended period of lake effect snow. The details will be straightened out as we get closer.

Climo also supports of winds being from WSW direction earlier in the season..

The 18z GFS appears to be back to a series if clippers or waves around the parent LP just south of Hudson Bay. I, like Ayuud, believe the upcoming couple weeks will be very good to the majority of WNY with LES...im not going to squabble if southern Erie gets 40" while northern Erie gets 25"...all the same winter looks to be back!!!

It's exciting that the Bills will be at home on the 10th.  I've always hoped a decent SW event could pummel the stadium during game time.  This might finally be the chance.  

Funny the last time there was a real good lake effect event during a Bills game was on a NW flow but was also against the Colts in Jan of 2010. Was snowing hard all game with huge flakes, was pretty epic...A repeat would be great (the score too lol!)

December 2002 against Miami was pretty darn good.  Band didn't move over the stadium until late in the 4th quarter.  But the ending was just pure whiteout the camera couldn't even see what was happening on the field.  Can't find any good clips but it was a great game.  That band but down 2 feet later that night over OP.

For us to really get into the action, that PV needs to nudge a bit to the East of Hudson/James Bay otherwise a SW/WSW flow will prevail until that PV makes a move. I really got to say the Buffalo metro area is due for a smashing, that's for sure, so let em have it, lol! Maybe it's Buffalo time to win the snowball challenge. KBGM won last yr beating out KSYR which is quite rare.
In looking at all the analogs, we got some good snows in all those yrs, so I'm not concerned as our snow will come!
