Just noticed this wording (in bold and underlined) from the KBUF discussion that came out this morning.  They are holding strong to this being a virtual non event.  Will be interested to see this afternoon discussion.  I can't believe they would explicitly say they have high confidence for such a fluid event.  Good ol KBUF :blink:

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Our forecast area will be on the northern and western fringes of a
passing Nor`easter Wednesday night. As is typically the case...our
region should not anticipate more than a nuisance snowfall...maybe a
light shovelable snowfall for portions of the Finger Lakes and Wrn
Southern Tier. 18 hour (late Wednesday through Wednesday night)
forecast snow totals range from little to nothing in Jefferson
county and a general inch or so along the Buf-Syr stretch of the NYS
Thruway to roughly five inches in southern Allegany county. High
confidence in these numbers.

The 301 update is different but they discussed nothing in regards to accumulation...they seem flummoxed from their “high confidence “ forecast from merely 12 hours ago...ever since Tom Niziol left that place has gone down...
