To Nor’easter or to not Nor’easter. That’s the $64,000 question this morning. That’s this Saturday. The models have come to an agreement that a Nor’easter will happen, and anywhere EAST of Upstate NY is likely to get the storm of the year. If the Euro verifies, which I will admit, the deterministic Euro is quite

Lake effect snows gave a blessing to areas just south of Buffalo and Watertown overnight, with some areas exceeding the 7″ max I had called for. Seeing Lake Ontario and Lake Erie perform is a good thing! It has not happened very often this winter. Expect the snow showers and lake effect to drift south

Some snow returns to the forecast! Arctic front Saturday night and Sunday morning will reinforce the bone chilling weather around Upstate NY. This front, combined with winds aligning off Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, albeit briefly, will bring some bonus snow to the equation. Is it a ton? No. Is it more than an inch

Ice Ice Baby… The return of the 90s rap icon tells you all you need to know. Forget the above freezing temps in WNY and the lower elevations of CNY and the Southern Tier… They are about to go BYE BYE! The culprit is a 1040+ mb HIGH moving from the upper Midwest into the

BRRRRR! After the snowstorm, the cold air built back in, and in a hurry! This will lead to much better grooming conditions for snowmobile clubs trying to open up across the state. For skiers, snowshoers, and other outdoor enthusiasts like ice fishermen, you are in your glory right now. The cold and snow the last

After a nice hit of snow, we have wrap around, lake enhanced and some lake effect to go. It will add to the totals and be shovelable/plowable snow but it will not be as big of a wallop that came through in the last 12-18 hours. This is the back side of the storm, these

Changes to the forecast, with sleet and freezing rain pushing farther north and west from the low, will necessitate a lowering of the snow totals by just a little bit. It’s still gonna snow. Western NY will still get the jackpot and be mostly snow with this, especially Rochester and Buffalo. But CNY, Southern Tier,

Against my better judgement to wait another run or two, and with everyone putting out their forecasts from the NWS to TV stations to super hyper posts to drive clicks to radio station groups, I’m pushing my 84-hour limit rule to the limit. As of press time, the snow ends right at or just after

Some things have become very clear over the last 24 hours. Some things are still blurry, and out of focus. But the general weather conditions for the next 5-7 days are all pretty close on all the models. It’s just the matter of the dang DETAILS of exactly what, where and when… Today we have
