If that verifies that MIGHT be the highest snowfall rate lake effect or not for the northtowns. That’s insane.

Well I picked a good time to call it last night. We haven’t really got much more than a coating since I came in at 430.  About 8 inches on the snowboard so it’ll just barely verify on the low end if can squeak out another inch or two throughout the day. Still a completely wild front end thump with this one and a very fun night!  This stuff should have some staying power too.

Pretty disappointing stuff here in eastern Monroe county. The 3k nailed the sleet and slot. No measurement but as Delta said we haven’t accumulated much since 4am. 6-7” eyeball. 

Yeah this scenario is what I was worried about. Not quite the disaster of SYR, but far from the jackpot of BUF.

Solid front end though, and if we can get slow and steady snow and lake enhancement, maybe grind out another 6" to get into 12-15" I would take that.

Yep. I put Rochester at 9” for that reason. I think we’ll beat that but not a blockbuster from the looks. Still the best one we’ve had since last February. Enjoy!
