The PNA ridge looks to strengthen at the end of the month, The pacific looks neutral, with a negative NAO and negative AO which usually leads to the best mid Atlantic snowstorms. All in all it should result in slightly below normal temps which should translate to mostly snow at this time of year.

Honest question...how does a tank AO and tank NAO with a ridge out west only get us to slightly BN temps? We're probably 6 or 7 bn for this month and we didn't have that set up at all.

The pacific is neutral. We need a neg epo/wpo. This type of pattern is also the best for Southwest flow les events as we get a long wave through across the Great Lakes as the entry point of cold air we want across the dakotas/Montana, not confined to the northeast. A negative nao/ao favors a northwest flow due to blocking. So it’s not really the best pattern for Buffalo.

So that's kind of my point...it reminds me of 09-10 when we were frigid but dry because the storm track was off to our east (I think that's the year of all the big easy coast storms) and we were high and dry but frigid...save for that one odd NW flow event that clobbered Niagara Falls.

Exactly, but it's still relatively early so we won't be frigid in late Nov even with 5-6 deg. departures. I'm leaning towards slightly below normal due to Pacific. We need to get a metro lake effect event in December or we will have to rely upon synoptic to reach above average snowfall. But don't forget in 76-77, Lake Erie was frozen by the New Year and that was our best winter of all time. There are always statistical anomalies.

Posted in the Lakes... Thought I'd share here too.  
Posted in the Lakes... Thought I'd share here too.  Your area is off to a great start.  Hope Erie doesn't cool too soon.

I have serious doubts about the depth in Niagara County or the Enscarpment itself. There are areas that literally got nothing up there, seriously? How is that even possible?

Looks like maybe a single wx reporter reporting zero. It has an odd circular shape (typically unusual). I’d think they must of had at least an inch or two? On the other hand, Niagara and Orleans are infamous snow holes and this year hasn’t had crap come off Erie on a SSW flow. Mostly elevation synoptic, WNW LES and our recent dump that left them shafted with sleet. 

Great map, otherwise.

The snow hole in Niagara has a 1.5-2" season total.  Areas that have seen no snow to date would be just plain white, so the only place on the map I see that hasn't had any snow is on the Jersey shore.  I think the map is pretty accurate... not 100%, of course.

We gotta watch the little feature slated for Tuesday. If we can get a little earlier interaction between the two pieces of energy, it’ll be west. 

Looking at deep cold on turkey day. There’s another small feature coming north of the lake. If it stays north, it will back the winds to SW. BUF, I smell something here! Good luck. namconus_asnow_us_19.png

Yea, wouldn’t be to confident with this look lol It’s 8-10 days away and models are showing two distinct events..

This looks like some sort of inverted trough , conveyer belt of moisture streaming in from the Atlantic..

That won't be like that in 12 hrs, much less 10 days, lol!

I remember one like that, but not that localized. The S BUF and SYR boys would be on suicide watch.
