Yet they must have gotten wind of it:

SYRACUSE (WSYR-TV) - Thursday Daytime:
The weather over central New York through sunset Thursday will be dry with no travel issues.
Some sun could mix in with the clouds during the middle of the day but regardless temperatures will remain above normal. Syracuse could approach 50 degrees.
Thursday Evening:
Precipitation will move into central New York from the southwest during the first part of the night. Early in the evening rain (perhaps mixing with snow) will move across the Finger Lakes. Rain should move into the Syracuse area at or just before midnight.
Thursday Overnight:
As one storm over Pennsylvania weakens and a new storm strengthens just off the East Coast our precipitation will increase over central New York. This process is key since the air over us as the storm starts is not hat cold. The strengthening process of the low helps to cool the lower atmosphere you look for a changeover from rain to snow during the overnight.
There will likely several inches of wet snow on the ground by the time you wake up Friday morning.
Friday:
Our snow will be at its heaviest for the Friday morning causing a rough commute but the snow continues through the day Friday.
By Friday evening the snow is winding down but not before a storm accumulation of 5-10 inches around the Syracuse area. However, elevation will play a key role in how much snow falls.
Over higher terrain (where the change to snow occurs sooner) look for accumulations of a foot or more. That would roughly be from Route 20 south and also over the Tug Hill.
In addition to the wet snow on Friday, the wind ends up rather gusty out of the north-northwest. Given the wet snow could weigh down trees, the addition of winds gusting past 30 mph brings up the possibility of isolated power outages. Again, that is most likely over higher terrain.
Snow will taper to just a few snow showers Friday night into Saturday.
Thank you. I had a total of 7 ancestors that fought in the Revolutionary War (one was a British soldier, but don’t tell anyone).
Darn all this global warming. (/sarc)
I think they do not like the salt.
Salt water would probably kill a lot tyhat’s not used to it.
We’re up to four inches from the looks of it, so far.
And the winds haven’t kicked up yet. that should be starting soon. Drifting and packing in the snow.
yea........
On our deck’s railing it looks like 8 inches. It’s not the amount, it’s the weight. It’s extremely heavy.
It started snowing at 1:00 am.
Right now we’ve received 11 inches with more coming.
It’s very heavy. Tree an fir branches are arcs now.
Power keeps going on and off.
Mr. mm also reports that it’s very heavy.
Where do you live, just in a general area?
Don’t need the specific town.
East of Syracuse? It looks like they are getting hit harder than west of Syracuse. The radar shows it fairly light west of Syracuse, but the storm seems to be inching westward.
There’s a very heavy area over the Schenectady/Albany area and it’s slowly heading towards Utica.
Yet they must have gotten wind of it:
Howlin’ wind here. Steady rain
Hartford County
Lots of heavy wet snow here.
Been kind of windy but they are forecast to peak later this afternoon.
Time will tell.
Not too far from Windham, Greene County.
Power went out at 8:30 am and am boiling snow to warm up with the steam. Saving my laptop battery as much as possible.
So far we've received 35 inches with more incoming! I gave up shoveling as the wind is picking up now.
Hope everyone is doing fine!
