| 2026-01-26 | 7:00 AM | NA | 8.5 | NA | 13.0 | NA | | 90% of forecasts over-forecast snow totals from our latest, expansive synoptic storm. While everyone did experience a decent “thump” of snow, it did not come close to the 12-18” predicted. Most locations received 60-70% of that. I have noticed this trend for the past several years. Is it because if forecasters under-predicted totals only to find higher totals, that the public/state and local officials would get on their case? My impression is that modeling has certainly improved but that winter forecasting tends to still be challenging. And, as those of us who live near the Great Lakes know, forecasting lake effect is unique with subtle atmospheric changes having huge impacts. But I continue to scratch my head wondering why this over-prediction has seemingly become the norm among most forecasters. I would say more need to watch Weather World out of Penn State. Those folks have one of the best track records of getting it right. |
| 2026-01-25 | 7:30 AM | NA | 0.5 | NA | 6.0 | NA | | WSWarning for all of the NE US. Largest synoptic storm in many decades. Temps cold enough for all snow except for some mixing along the Atlantic coast. Event is just beginning and will peak in next 3-8 hours. NWS predicted 12-18” here. Lake Erie is 95% ice covered so post-storm wrap around and NW winds that will follow will significantly mute the lake response. I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up with 2-4” in the days that follow. Arctic temps will also be the norm for the next 5-7 days with highs barely reaching 10F and overnight lows flirting in the -5 to -8 range. |

| 2026-01-01 | 7:30 AM | NA | 7.0 | NA | 15.0 | NA | | Clipper system temporarily shifted the LES Buffalo yesterday before moving back south. Moderate-heavy LE resumed here around 4 pm and continued through the night. Totals are beginning to add up from this long-duration event as it is a true Currier-Ives scene as we begin the new year. Snowmobilers and skiers should have great conditions until warmer weather returns next week. Today also marks the end of the muzzleloader “holiday hunt” so whitetails have a rest until next fall. We have had 65” of snow so far this season which certainly puts us ahead of normal. |
