Latest trends now have SYR out of the heaviest band. Cazenovia to Utica now looking like the prime spot.

Hopefully no more farther east. This has been such a tight situation. One set of model runs I am thinking no more west...no more rest...then it's no more east...no more east...hah

What trends are you looking at?

My car slid down my driveway tonight. It sure is icy out. 

That's nasty. And a covering of snow on top after tomorrow.  One of the few times the salt trucks will be of great value, other than for causing traffic tie ups tooling along at 35 mph on highways.  ;)

A number of the 00Z runs

HRRR and RAP look great though. Not saying any of the models look bad for us...they all look great...just the heaviest looks like it may set up east of us.

Seems like banding often tends to set up N&W of where modeling shows it pre-storm along with axis of heaviest qpf. But we'll see. Will be fun to observe.

Quite slick out there, down to 26.4°, freezing drizzle..

I can attest. Made it home safely to my family 4.5 hours from Jersey. Glad I chose the route I did. Roads not too bad but the fog was unreal at times. 

Enjoying a very tasty cold IPA as a reward and to calm my nerves!  Then some rest for the show tomorrow!

Looks like you made out good then... good deal!

KBGM upping totals and expanding Warnings south and east in their CWA.  Not sure why so late. Did they just start looking at models other than the GFS?  This shouldnt be allowed. Can never verify their accuracy as their forecasts continually change.  IMO they roll with the 6-9" call for SYR when Warnings were first issued.

I think the main issue has always been how much qpf was going to fall as ZR/IP and the ratios early on.  I'm in Cazenovia now, and we are icing up fast!  06z RGEM just coming in, and seems to want to turn over to SN+ a bit earlier than previous runs, for most of CNY.

The bust is real. About 1/4" of snow overnight...radar looks like shit...might squeak out 2 or 3" today...that went poof faster than a Copperfield illusion...

I can’t believe I woke up to only a dusting and radar looking like that. It’s honestly unreal. The winter of 19-20 lives on in infamy!

 Mesoscale Discussion 0104
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0432 AM CST Fri Feb 07 2020

   Areas affected...northern WV...western into north-central PA...parts
   of western NY

   Concerning...Heavy snow 

   Valid 071032Z - 071400Z

   SUMMARY...Snowfall rates are forecast to increase to around 1 inch
   per hour (locally higher) during the 530-900am EST period.

   DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic shows a precipitation shield gradually
   expanding in coverage across the upper OH Valley early this morning.
   Recent (4-5am EST) surface observations at Parkersburg, WV and
   Cambridge, OH in the upper OH Valley have recorded heavy snow as
   strengthening mid-level forcing for ascent rapidly approaches the
   region from the southwest.  Model forecasts show a
   northeast-translating area of strong 700-mb frontogenesis moving
   from northern WV/southwest PA at 5am EST into north-central PA by
   8am EST.  Concurrent with the frontogenetic forcing, SREF model
   guidance indicates 1 inch per hour rates will accompany this
   northeast-translating forcing for ascent.  Therefore, 1 inch per
   hour snowfall rates (locally higher during sub-hour bursts) appear
   likely this morning beginning in northern WV and developing
   northeast across western PA into parts of western NY.
