Watertown NY and its environs downwind of Lake Ontario get an average of 16 FEET of snow per year.
I think they’ll be able to handle it....
The Tugg Hill Plateau south of Watertown is pretty much the snowiest place in the lower 48.
It is the area on the map directly east of the end of Lake Ontario where there are no roads. It is a big empty wilderness area.
I had a college buddy that grew up in Lowville, NY.
Right on the edge of the plateau. The only thing in that town was the AMF bowling pin factory and an Ethan Allen furniture factory. At least they were there back in 1984/85 when I was there. We went to Syracuse together.
