And still coming down.
It started Saturday evening with rain and changed over during the night.
The first few inches melted pretty quickly.
We’re up to three feet in our location and it’s still coming down although the lake effect band is weakening.
Lots of school closings and delays. A state of emergency for Cayuga County.
And to think that Saturday I was in shorts and a t-shirt doing yard work getting ready for it.
Welcome to NY. If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute.
Globlal Warming!
When do we want it?
Now!
All the great lakes surface waters are a lot warm than average.... going to be a great few weeks for lake effect snow :)

That much snow is annoying. If we’re going to waste so much money pretending that we control the climate, at least we could get a little global warming.
Years ago I,while in the Army Reserve,did a “summer camp” at what was then called Camp Drum which is near Watertown,NY.I got talking to a Lieutenant who was “Regular Army” and had spent the previous winter there.He told me that during that winter there were areas of the post where they didn’t bother to plow and he said that buildings in those areas were completely buried by snow by the end of the winter.
Heh. I want me some global warming. It’s not too bad currently up here in Edmonton, Alberta.
what one might expect for this time of year. Namely, cold and sh**ty.
Anybody know the whereabouts of Alogore?
Only 20? We used to get 3 or 4 feet easy near Watertown. The plow filling up the end of your driveway just after you cleaned it was a beautiful thing.
Also your mailbox flying down the road. Good times
I am happy for you...enjoy.
“It’s been snowing for 38 hours in Syracuse — and we’re at almost 20 inches”
Some people have all the luck!
THANKSGIVING DAY TRAVELERS STRANDED AT AIRPORT BECAUSE OF HEAVY SNOWS.
Sheesh. Thank for posting. No snow at all in metro Detroit.
Global Warming Conference happening there?
NY is being punished for voting for the Devil.
20 inches of snow? Is algore staying in Syracuse?
Going to be about 77 here in S.E. Florida today.
Oh yeah, and clear.
More proof that the Earth is warming. Or the climate is changing or something like that.
Due east of Lake Ontario is the snow belt in NY. Because of lake effect snow, areas east of the lake get routinely CLOBBERED.
You will notice that in the Adirondack area the roof angles are greatly increased.
Buffalo, located due east of Lake Erie, gets alot more snow than Rochester. Rochester is just far enough away from Lake Erie and is south of Lake Ontario. While they still get a bunch of snow, nothing like Buffalo.
Having been born and grown up in Rochester living there for 30 years, I have seen plenty of snow. Having lived in Ithaca, NY (The City of Evil) for the past 35 years, we get a lot less snow. It’s a colder here, but less snow.
This current storm dumped about 20 inches here. I live in the attached Town of Enfield at a higher elevation (1112 ft), and usually get more snow than in the city, which is in the valley (382 ft).
I didn’t use my snowblower at all last year, looks like I will be using it more this year (when I finally get it started).
One year I remember it snowed for bow season (Oct 1) and the ground was WHITE until spring!
Ya just never know here, in the Southern Tier of NY.
Temperatures on Jan. 26, three days before the blizzard began, dipped to a record low of minus 26 degrees. Some 42.3 inches of snow fell on Syracuse from Jan. 29 to Feb. 1, but most of it came down Jan. 30 and 31.
We got about 60 inches in the 'burbs. I found my way to Cali not many years later and bid such things adieu.
