"Destructive Snowstorm Targets Interior Northeast"

"Heavy, wet snow
Low pressure will intensify as it moves up the Eastern Seaboard from North Carolina later Sunday into the interior Northeast Monday. In concert with this surface low, a powerful dip in the jet stream and just enough cold air near the surface will team up to produce heavy, wet snow.
The areas of concern are western New York, western Pennsylvania, extreme eastern Ohio, parts of northern West Virginia and extreme western Maryland. The timing of the changeover to snow is shown by the model forecast loop below (denoted by white shadings). Snowfall rates may exceed 1" per hour Sunday night into early Monday, accompanied by thunder and lightning! "

Well here it is going to be all rain and temps rising to the 60 tonight. We are on the warm side of the storm. Besides, I still have my boat on land and with the winter cover still on for at least one more week.
 
We are still under the Boat Port on land but the docks & launch ramp are in!!!, Mike.
 
Rain snow mix here in Buffalo, nothing on the ground....yet....2 of my mechanics had a few inches on their trucks when they came in this morning, they live in the higher elevations south of the city....I think it's going to be a big non-event, at least here anyway. (fingers crossed)
My boat is still in the bldg, but there are some in the water, wouldn't want a foot of heavy wet snow on the canvas, although it has happened before.
 
I am 2 miles from beach and wind not that strong boat is in very protected marina just going back and forth a little.
