100-inch snow dump likely in upstate New York
70 inches so far in places, and squalls are likely through the weekend
Updated: 10:32 a.m. ET Feb. 8, 2007
OSWEGO, N.Y. - While the northern Plains and Northeast shiver in
dangerously cold temperatures, the folks in upstate New York are keeping
warm shoveling snow — lots of snow.
Since Sunday, the small towns of Parish and Mexico have recorded more
than 6 feet of snow, and forecasters with the National Weather Service
say it isn’t over yet.
Another 2 feet or more of heavy lake effect snow was expected Thursday
for the communities along eastern Lake Ontario, and more squalls are
likely through the weekend.
“We’re just trying to keep up. It’s almost an unreal amount,” said Mayor
Randy Bateman of Oswego, where 70 inches of snow had fallen by Thursday
morning. “We catch up when it stops, but then it just comes again, even
heavier.”
Whiteout conditions — the snow has been falling at a rate of 5 inches an
hour at times — forced state police to temporarily close Interstate 81
between Central Square and Pulaski, a stretch of about 15 miles. Travel
advisories against unnecessary travel were posted for Oswego and its
neighboring counties. Mexico officials renewed a snow emergency
declaration, and many government offices were closed.
Schools were closed for a fourth day in Oswego and Mexico.
In Oswego, a big concern was keeping the city’s 800 fire hydrants clear,
said Fire Chief Ed Geers.
“We’re just trying to keep on top of digging out the hydrants. When you
get 5 feet of snow in 24 hours, it’s tough,” Geers said.
'Right through the weekend'
Forecasters expected up to 100 inches in places by the weekend, but said
the snow emergency still has a way to go to make history.
"We are shying away from calling this a record event," said Mike
Pukajlo, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Buffalo,
said Wednesday.
"There are several areas in that region that often get hammered during a
winter. Seventy, eighty inches is uncommon for sure, but it's not highly
unusual, especially over a several-day event like this," Pukajlo said.
Pukajlo said snow squalls "will keep going right through the weekend.
But we expect to see the bands moving around a bit more, back and forth,
so it's not going to keep pounding on just one area."
Lake effect snow forms when cold air passes over a relatively warmer
body of water. When this week's arctic blast passed over the still
unfrozen Great Lakes — including New York's Erie and Ontario — it
created a recipe for monstrous snow totals. In the Great Lakes Region,
cold air generally "spills" southward from the high latitudes of North
America.
19 deaths
Temperatures in the Northeast were inching back up to something closer
to normal for this time of year, but the upper Midwest and northern
Plains still awoke to subzero temperatures Thursday — minus-12 in
Minneapolis and 3 below zero in Chicago.
The bitter cold and slippery roads have contributed to at least 19
deaths — five in Ohio, four in Illinois, four in Indiana, two in
Kentucky, two in Michigan, and one each in Wisconsin and Maryland,
authorities said. Three of those victims died Tuesday when two SUVs
crashed on a slick road in northern Indiana.
In West Virginia, where as much as 9 inches of snow has fallen, some
schools that had been closed were able to reopen on Thursday, but in
most of the state, classes were still delayed, and in a few counties,
cancelled. Officials had to call snowplow drivers out of retirement
Wednesday to clear the roads.
The weather also disrupted travelers, leaving some stranded overnight in
airports in the Midwest after flights to the Northeast were disrupted.

Wild swings in weather are part of it. A few weeks ago we were down to
freezing here, and then the week after, the temperature shot up to 80.
Now it's cool again and looks like rain for the weekend.

100-inch snow dump likely in upstate New York
70 inches so far in places, and squalls are likely through the
weekend
I'm staying right here in California. Brrrrrrrrrrr!
I'm waiting for the "That sure don't look like no global warming to me"
crowd.
Wait until it starts to rain in the Sahara again.
It's lake effect snow. That part of NY always gets it worse than the
rest of the state. Where I am (90 miles north of New York City) we've
had maybe 2 inches all winter,

I doubt we've had more than 0.2 inches since 1985.

I'm about 30 miles north of NYC and I've been dying for some snow to XC. I
usually go to Fahnestock, which has the best facilities near NYC..

OSWEGO, N.Y. - While the northern Plains and Northeast shiver in
dangerously cold temperatures, the folks in upstate New York are keeping
warm shoveling snow — lots of snow.
Since Sunday, the small towns of Parish and Mexico have recorded more
than 6 feet of snow, and forecasters with the National Weather Service
say it isn’t over yet.
During the last stint where I lived in the northeast in the early 90's, we
had a year (92 I think) where there were record seasonal snowfalls. At the
town I lived in CT, a grocery store had taken to using its back parking lot
to storing plowed snow culminating in a 40' heap. It was well into June
before the last of it melted exposing all the shopping carts and other
debris that had been plowed into it.
Right now here in Scottsdale, the "winter" (horrible cold! lows into the
30's!) has ended and the natives are starting to take their sweaters off as
highs go into the 80's.
