If you want to be closer to Syracuse than Parish is probably best spot. But they don't get hit with the big LES events like Pulaski, Sandy Creek, and Altmar do. I mean Parish does, but not as commonplace as places further N/NE. If you're moving just for snow, ask Carol to put up a shed next to her place in N Redfield. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Yeah, if I lived in Oswego County and wanted to be near 81, I would pick Parish as well. Or the area between Parish and Pulaski. That's the West-wind snowbelt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're moving just for snow, ask Carol to put up a shed next to her place in N Redfield. it's a trifecta of 3 things. convenience, snow, and job availability. Ive got 3 areas I'm looking at. North of cortland to la fayette area over to cazenvoia. Issue there would be finding something affordable. then hastings to mexico to williamstown to parish. Then Copenhagen to harrisburg to lorraine then parallel 81 to south of watertown. This spot would be ideal as its close to the job I have now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like in winter prodiminent flow is generally nw or wnw West wind used to be more common. WNW is the transitional winds. It rarely ever stays long in WNW, which is why us North Syracuse burb guys are feeling neglected. SW, NW, and W are the most common. The NW winds are such a pain for the Syracuse area as they're so unpredictable. Westerly winds used to be more common, which is part of the reason the Tug, due East, gets so much snow. Lately, the North Tug, which does better when there is a bit of a southerly component to the winds (WSW) has been getting hammered. The amount of times Watertown has been hit by big SW events the past several years seems ridiculous. For most reliable snows, regardless of weather, I still say the Worth area is King. I mean, looking at their webcam today, they look to have about 20 inches there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakeEffectKing Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 So as many of you guys know, I grew up 4.5 miles east of Parish for most of my first 40 years. Great LES location, averages around 180". Just north and east by 5-8 miles up through Happy Valley, averages go up quickly to above 200" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
