Residents of the nearby town of Mexico see 5- to 6-foot snowfalls every two or three years, but this time even hardened locals are amazed.
The only signs of parked SUVs are their radio antennas or roof racks sticking up above the snow. Front doors are buried and footprints lead to second-story windows. Sidewalks that have been dug out look like miniature canyons.
The state transportation department said 125 workers from elsewhere in the state had been sent in with snow equipment to help.
The region is located along the Tug Hill Plateau, the snowiest region this side of the Rocky Mountains. It's a 50-mile wedge of land that rises 2,100 feet from the eastern shore of Lake Ontario. It usually gets about 300 inches — roughly 25 feet — of snow a year. The hamlet of Hooker, near the boundaries of Jefferson, Lewis, and Oswego counties, holds the state's one-year record with 466.9 inches, about 39 feet, in the winter of 1976-77.

We need the committee to look in to global warming immediately!
Think of how much more snow they'd have if we weren't experiencing gloal warming.
I've never known it to snow Upstate in February. Must be a fluke since we all know the earth is approaching Venus-heat.
since the moonbats simply can't explain the extreme cold via global warming, the new term is "climate change" which encompasses all sorts of weather from heat, to freezing cold, to lotsa hurricanes, to NO hurricanes, NO rain to floods, etc..etc..this way, whatever happens is the fault of man..
Wouldn't it be ironic if we found illegal immigrants living in Mexico?;)
They're getting a break today - all up in northern lewis county, and much lighter.
Eastern NY could be looking at a BIG storm by late wednesday into thursday. (nor'easter)
The only weather the MSM covers is on the east coast. But yet they are not covering this wall to wall I wonder why? Could it be Global Warming.
LOLOL!
Oh well. There goes South Beach...
Thank goodness for global warming! -- or those folks would really be in trouble by now.
