Eeny, Meeny, Miny Snow
I just took a look at the radar and the game eeny, meeny, miny, moe comes to mind when trying to figure out which city is going to make out the best in the next 24 hours or so :) Any Guesses???
Right now it looks like the winds have shifted around Buffalo and coming from more of a north - northwest flow right so in my opinion all 3 of the Big cities have a shot at piling up some good snow amounts with either Buffalo, Rochester or Syracuse getting a little extra over the others. If I were to guess and that's normally all I can do (remember I'm clueless) I would guess that the heavier bands are going to set up right between Rochester and Syracuse.
That said Buffalo added another 5+ inches to their totals since the last update so they have a shot at taking the lead if the Arctic air stays on more of a northern pattern. Again, remember the source. Me :( Either way it should get slick in all of the cities off and on and lets see if we can come up with a lead change.
Here in the Syracuse area a pretty good band went by this morning dropping around 2 inches in probably under an hour and most likely did the same for Buffalo and Rochester. IMO it's a toss of the coin as to which city will win this round of snowfall. Right now mostly sunny with the winds picking up ;)
Have a great Evening and remember "Snow Means Slow"! Take it easy out there.

Reporting from Rochester here near the airport. I shoveled about a fresh two inches this morning, but its been snowing on and off all day. But around 330, it opened up, and it has been whiteout here for almost an hour. Rochester has been lagging a little bit, which my out of town friends love. Rochester needs a storm to itself to be able to overtake Buffalo or Syracuse, a lake effect band directly from the north. GO ROCK!
Patrick, thanks for the update. I'm cheering for ya's :) It's getting ready to move into the Syracuse area and the winds are really whipping. If it stops drifting south right now the Rock would probably kick some butt come morning. With the winds right now and as long as it keeps coming south most likely whiteout conditions soon here also. Gonna be a nasty commute home for a lot of people though :(
I'll take a guess... I guess Buffalo!
But then again, I'm a bit biased :)
The wind is really blowing, so who know what we'll end up with - Up here in Lockport, I shoveled about a half foot from my driveway when I got home from work. It's looking like I'll have to shovel again in the morning...
Jill, it looks pretty close right now. As of around 5:00 PM Buffalo is showing 4.9 inches and Rochester shows 3.3. Syracuse is showing 4.9 also but that's as of 10:00 PM. Who ever gets the overnight blast should win and I'm leaning toward Buffalo also ;)
Looks like BUF, ROC, and SYR all added a few to their totals with only minor changes with Rochester gaining another 1" or so on BUF, and Syracuse adding another 1" or so to their lead over Buffalo. Only 11.4 seperating the top three so still a pretty close race. We are currently adding a few inches as well here in the ROC.

Rochester's information hasn't been updated for a while.
Rochester moving "under the radar". Added a few more to be within two inches of 2nd place. Less than 8" seperate the top three!
I wasn't expecting much of any snow in Rochester today, but it has been coming down pretty hard now for over an hour. Not necessarily a massive total, but we need to get some consistent daily snows to close that gap. Eleven inches is nothing to sneeze at, but I think the snwo gods will still align for us. GO ROCK!!
Hey Patrick, looks like we have a position change? Roc to 2nd?
