Actually, I think that record goes to Copenhagen, NY; 2 Dec 1966: 12 inches in one hour. 

It's on a long lost hard drive of mine, but years ago I found a newspaper (NYT iirc) clipping from c.1900 describing a freak snowfall of something like 8" in 20 minutes along the shoreline in Wayne or Oswego county. It snowed so heavily that people outside at the time ran to the nearest house/barn/etc to take cover for fear of suffocating. I posted it here probably 10+ years back, but I can't find that post.

Anyway, I've been living vicariously through BuffaloWeather's posts. I miss LES.

This must be a new webcam. Live from Jamestown. It's not the best quality, but nice for those of us waiting for the first snowfall. The ground looks white there.

The sidebar on this site has another four webcams from a few miles west of Jamestown. They're not great at night, but it looks like the grass is covered.
