Yet we lived in Syracuse for The Blizzard of 1966. On January 30, 1966, it began snowing. And when it was over, more than 42 inches fell on Syracuse. Many in Syracuse and Central New York buried under several feet of snow.

Central NY lake effect snow has always been a thing.

I remember it well because I was 14 and Dad made me shovel all of it. We had to trudge through feet of snow down to the mailbox at the outskirts of our subdivision to retrieve smokes that a friend left for Mom & Dad.

I remember that.

Then there was that Superstorm of March 1993.

We lived in the snowbelt at the time, got nailed from the storm, and then the next day, as the storm pulled off the coast, got even more in addition in the form of lake effect.

I lived in Fargo, ND. We also had a blizzard in that year.
The gym dome of the new high school collapsed under that snow fall. Of course the designers of the dome lived in Texas!

Heck, Upstate NY had 30 inches fall one day just last December. It snows in the Winter in the Northeast. Some years more than others.
