On Lake Ontario...we will hoist a winter storm watch for lake effect
snow, starting Sunday evening and going through Monday afternoon.
This watch will encompass the 3 counties east of Lake Ontario,
though impacts will mainly be across far southern Jefferson County,
as well as Lewis and Oswego. Lake induced equilibrium levels are
expected to increase to around 8-9K feet which will be plenty tall
enough for lake effect snow to form. On a westerly flow wind
convergence from both the north and south shoreline of Lake Ontario
will create enough lift for either clusters of snow, or a band of
lake snow.

While snow amounts will likely range from several inches to
potential for over 7 inches the still strong winds Sunday night and
Monday will create a dangerous situation with near blizzard like
conditions. Expect very poor visibilities within falling and blowing
snow Sunday night and into Monday. Winds will continue to veer to
northwesterly Monday and this will take the concentration of snow
across the southern Tug Hill region, Oswego county and possibly
begin to clip northeast Wayne and northern Cayuga by Monday night.
However by Monday night the band of snow will be in a weaker state.

Euro still has zip for Tues/wed ..Barely even a surface reflection ...

Meanwhile the GFS/para/icon all go through southern NY State with several inches of snow..

Sticking with the winter pattern, I would go with the low moving through southern New York, and weakening as it moves through. 1 to 3 inch ordeal.

This wind event is somewhat unprecedented. Never in my life do I remember a wind event predicted this far out, with these kind of wind speeds.  Every record event from the last 20 years was more or lesss unexpected. 

1998 derecho was a rogue storm that no one saw coming until it was on radar

1/9/08 was supposed to be a high wind event but a low topped derecho caught us off guard and took it to another level. 

3/8/17 was supposed to be windy but nowhere near apocalyptic

Any other wind storm from the last 20 years is just the typical gusts to 60 type of stuff that is fairly routine  

This is certainly unique and will be very interesting to watch unfold. If these winds don’t verify the poor nws will take it on the chin as the hype is nearly off the charts. If they do verify there will be damage like we haven’t seen in a very very long time. 

My call

kbuf - 71

kiag - 77

batavia - 75

kroc - 68

I was just about to post that. Even if snowfall amounts aren’t huge anything that falls will be carried by the strong winds. I could see that definitely causing ground blizzard conditions.
