BuffJim Posted December 8, 2017 Share #1 Posted December 8, 2017 Blizzard for Tuesday! While the track of the low is a little farther north than previous runs, the bulk of western and north-central New York is expected to remain within an area of deep isentropic uplift in advance of the low. This will likely result in a widespread snowfall Monday night into Tuesday that may end up bringing at least advisory level snowfall amounts to a broad swath of the forecast area. Of greater concern is the potential for heavy snow on Tuesday as the low passes to our east. The combination of deep baroclinicity on the western edge of the low and strong northerly flow adding in lake enhancement off Lake Ontario has the potential to deliver significant snowfall to portions of western and central New York, with the Rochester area being an area of particular concern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffJim Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share #13 Posted December 10, 2017 Well good news and bad news. Monday night and Tuesday’s storm isn’t that bigga deal. 3-7”. But Rochester is expected to get hit with Lake effect Tues night and Wednesday. A foot plus expected. As always, forecasts two or 3 days out are subject to change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
