Pretty rare we see these types of flakes down here. Amazing. Yeah this exactly having gone to school at Syracuse and experiencing a bit of lake effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will stick with me forever. I wanted to be there so bad. I witnessed some doozies - the October storm, among others. Lake effect events there are always the best (2-3” per hour rates and 1+ foot of snow within mere hours) but we also saw a fair share of solid synoptic snowfalls during the winters of 06-11 from inland runners. Amazing winters up there. I don’t miss those bitter cold Canadian winds though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll never forget it. I went to visit my girlfriend at Oswego State and got stuck there for a week because it snowed a solid 1-2 feet everyday for 4-5 days straight. My car vanished under snow in the school lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayyy Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 It’s still absolutely ripping out there in central MD. Band has weakened ever so slightly as it moves east and the coastal continues to crank offshore, taking the best energy with it, but man, it’s still quite impressive out there.

Yeah was a Senior at Syracuse at the time. Chased the event and got some good photos w the weather channel crew in Parish. Was a bit depressing heading back down to campus 25 miles south of the storm and bare ground since the prevailing winds were W and you needed a WNW to get hit in Syracuse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The narrowness of those bands were endlessly fascinating to me as a kid. I couldn't grasp how such huge snowstorms could fit into those tiny little bands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That storm was well forecasted a few days out on the local news in Syracuse. If I remember correctly initially the thought was more towards Oswego/Jefferson County line would be the bullseye but it turned out to be Parish/Pulaski in the central part of Oswego County. Great storm. Just now, Deck Pic said: At least 2-3 days.
