That big jump in elevation after you cross the Black River and hit the ADK park boundary does wonders for snowfall. Each time I stayed there snow depth was 3+ feet. 15 minutes away in Lowville snow depth was always noticeably less. Not an area that probably gets the best radar coverage but the snow really piles up over there. So if you ever want to head a bit east/southeast there’s big snow there too. O yea, anywhere with elev. Like I said though, I avg over 100" can't really complain lol. I mean relative scheme of things for the area I'm the low man out, but a 126" snow mean is wow worthy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombo82685 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I dunno, from experiencing this lake effect stuff and east coast blizzards, I'll take a blizzard over this 10 mile wide lake effect band stuff lol. I know that is going to make a few posters roll over in their grave. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim123 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Would have thought lowville averages more. But yeah snow retention north of tug way better than here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always come back to the frozen mud and scant snow piles back home here in Pennsylvania. It's a sad sight. You made the right choice relocating to upstate NY (or if you want to say northern NY). No nuked snow covers, weeks of brown in winter and weeks of chasing ghost storms. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then like what happened with @TugHillMatt one day of sun and temp neat 40 and you lose 10 inch snow pack to 2". Stuff just sublimates and melts with no mercy. Atleast with blizzards there is some man sweat in there instead of this Co2 driven stuff lol 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 Quick shout out to the high Rez Canadian, it may of done better than the regional..It painted the heaviest over the NE corner of Oswego unlike the rgem who had it over me.. Could have something to do with the resolution.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rochesterdave Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Give me a synoptic system over fake snow any day. Absolutely! Of course I’ve only ever experienced mini lake effect storms. It’ll melt from a fart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside of a LES band you'll never experience that in a synoptic storm. We had rates of 6-8" per back in 2014 peak stuff, off Ontario in the strongest bands 10-12" per hour has been recorded. Good luck finding that in synoptic. The worst synoptic storm I've been doesn't even compare to a marginal LES event. I've seen some crazy storms hiking in various mountain ranges and the middle of a crazy LES band is unmatched. Going outside and seeing snow on the ground just doesn't do it for me.

winter_rules Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 2 hours ago, BuffaloWeather said: I mean if I lived in Syracuse I would be in the middle of that thing right now after work. How far of a drive is it like 20-30 minutes? I care about snow retention, so I was few miles east of Pulaski. It’s amazing how much that slow, almost unnoticeable, elevation gain makes a difference in snowpack. I believe my drive down 81 to the 7th North St area (roughly the Thruway/81 interchange) was around 45 minutes in good weather. 20-30 minutes probably gets you to Brewerton and Central Square exits. Central Square is the northern extent of “most” commuters…..much less traffic heading up to Parish, Mexico, Pulaski and beyond. Only toothless people are allowed farther north. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need this Yea lake effect has some solid rates, but the 20 mile band that only gets some people while everyone else smokes exhaust just is annoying. Synoptic snows can have very good rates too.

CNY_WX Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Like I said earlier, the band is losing it’s intensity as it moves south. Look how the eastern end is collapsing and it hasn’t even left the lake yet. It’s like a hurricane after it makes landfall. 10 miles north of me and it will be half the intensity when it gets here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
