What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Buffalo, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Feb 2, 7:00 PM EST, 2 hours 23 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 2, 7:00 PM EST, 2 hours 23 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
700 PM EST Wed Feb 2 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Rain will change to snow tonight as a cold front crosses the
region. The front will stall out south and east of the region
Thursday and allow waves of low pressure to ride northward along
the boundary, supporting a widespread snowfall. Snow showers will
continue Friday and Friday night as another arctic airmass settles
over the region.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
***Winter Storm Warning remains in effect for the entire CWA***

This system will eventually produce significant storm totals,
but it will take time for it to get going. At 7 p.m. a cold
front extends roughly from Cleveland to Toronto and this cold
front will move slowly across the area tonight. Expect mainly
(if not all) rain ahead of this front, with no snow accumulation
until after the front moves through.

Temperatures are still in the upper 30s ahead of the front
early this evening, and although these will drop this evening
expect mainly rain until after the front moves through. For
Buffalo, expect a changeover late this evening, with a
changeover shortly after midnight at Rochester and Watertown. By
daybreak Thursday, expecting accumulation of 1-3 inches across
most of Western NY and the Eastern Lake Ontario region. Due to
the later changeover, expecting only an inch or so by daybreak
across the Upper Genesee Valley and Western Finger Lakes.

Thursday the surface front will push towards the south and east
with sufficient cold air in the lower level building to support
all snow. There likely will be breaks in the snow, especially
during Thursday morning when snowfall rates should be generally
light.

During Thursday afternoon a surface low will track along the
front and our region will be in the right/rear position with
respect to a jet streak. These features will enhance lift and
snowfall rates Thursday afternoon through Thursday evening. Expect
this to produce the steadiest snow, with snowfall rates of 1
inch per hour. The greatest impact for this system will be on
the Thursday evening commute. Storm totals of 6 to 13 inches are
expected, with the majority of this likely to fall Thursday
afternoon through late Thursday evening. These amounts are in
line with most model guidance, taking into account that
liquid/snow ratios will increase later in the event at thermal
profiles cool and the snow becomes more fluffy.

Winds will remain light from the northwest to north through the
day Thursday, with gusts up to 20 to 25 mph, greatly limited
any blowing snow.

It will be cooler Thursday with temperatures slowly falling through
the 20s. Temperatures will then drop into the teens across most
of Western NY Thursday night, with single digits across the
North Country.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Little evidence for any significant activity Friday as the wave
departs. Additional snowfall amounts during this period will be
tied to north-northeasterly lake enhancement. At this point,
could see additional amounts of a few inches south of Lake
Ontario Friday.

On Friday night, shallow northwest flow across the lakes with temps
at top of inversion as low as -20c spells low-end likely pops for
light fluffy snow. As we saw with similar event last weekend, if any
snow bands develop and persist they could drop a few inches of
fluffy snow in a short period of time, but overall light snows. Cold
on Friday night with lows zero to 8 above western NY, depending on
cloud cover with the lake effect. Clear skies will result in temps
down to 10 below east of Lake Ontario. Light winds overall, but a
risk of seeing wind chills down to 20 to 25 below east of Lake
Ontario.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Lake snows wrap up on Saturday as drier air and the sfc ridge over
the Ohio Valley moves ENE across the region. Should be the coldest
day of the period...daytime highs primarily in the teens.

Saturday night...sfc ridge departs off to our ENE into New England.
NW flow will back to the SW with modest warming occuring on Sunday
but not until one more cold night is realized. Lows by sunrise
Sunday will be found near to a little bit below zero east of Lake
Ontario to single digits and low teens elsewhere.

Sunday...cold front approaches the region late but a large portion
of the day should be precipitation free. Highs in the low 30s and
upper 20s.

Sunday night and Monday...shortwave trough and cold front slowly
progresses through the region with chances for some snow showers.

Monday night and Tuesday...sfc ridge over the Tennessee Valley
builds in and then brings about dry weather through Wednesday ahead
of the next cold front and shortwave for later in the week.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A mix of VFR/MVFR at 00Z ahead of a cold front. This front will
move across the region early tonight, with precipitation
changing over to snow and cigs lowering to IFR with the frontal
passage. Expect snow to lower vsby to around 1SM in snow
tonight, followed by a modest improvement at times Thursday
morning. Cigs likely to remain IFR during most of the morning.

Snowfall rates will pick up Thursday afternoon, with vsby
dropping to 1/2SM - 1SM. Snowfall rates up to 1 inch/hour.

Outlook...

Thursday night through Friday...Restrictions in snow to
IFR/LIFR.

Friday Night... returning to mainly VFR, with MVFR in lake effect
snow south of Lake Ontario and southeast of Lake Erie.

Saturday... Mainly VFR, but some MVFR in lake effect snow south of
Lake Ontario.

Sunday through Monday...Mainly VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
A cold front will slowly slide across the eastern Great Lakes
through this evening. Winds will veer to northwest and
northerly behind the front tonight and into the start of the
weekend.

SCA conditions are possible Thursday Night and into Friday as winds
behind this front increase to around 20 knots on the Lakes.

With the shoreline ice over much of the Eastern Great Lakes, SCA
will primarily be issued for the winds.
