Storm Speculation - 11/18/17

Why not? Let's do one of these.

If this is the same event Darrin is thinking 11/19 or 11/20:

Okay. Change the title if you want.

I never know how to date these things.  When in doubt I add a day, just because it seems to me that storms arrive later than predicted (a week out) and often head out to see faster than predicted 24 hours in advance. I have no idea, I'm leaving it.

EDIT to add: Right now it looks like your date is right. Storm to start wet on the 18th turn white after that.

According to these folks    http://www.syracuse.com/weather/index.ssf/2017/11/significant_lake_effect_snow_in_upstate_ny_possible_this_weekend.html#incart_river_index

it's going to be East of the Lakes that sees the most of it.

I hope it isn't a repeat of last year.

This should be renamed to Lake Effect snow event, the "storm" is rain..its the lake effect behind it that could benefit Whiteface with a lesser chance but still possible for Gore.

Good to have you back..

Totally agree

This image seems to back that up.

No rule that says a Storm Speculation thread has to be a certain kind of precip.

I think when Darrin posted two days ago he thought there was a chance that there might be some snow before the lake effect. Is this going to be a lake runner? What is the track?

Just your standard low going west of the lakes , with a trailing cold front..Followed by some LES
