Good luck with that;lived and worked in Central NY for ten years.At least the towns,counties and state are well prepared for it.I am sure our TBN members also are ready.
I was there 1975-85 and saw my share for sure.Hard to believe it can snow that much in such a short time.

I've lived where I am for the past 31 years. I take the weathermans prediction with a grain of salt. Sometimes they are wrong and other times they under predict. We have had over 20" in a 24 hour period before. The prediction for my area is for more than 24" over the next 48 hours. Lake effect areas can change depending on the wind direction. That's why I finally bought a cabbed tractor. If it happens I'm ready.

Started snowing here around 5:15. Has a wave of it moved through there yet George? Went from bare lawn to an inch or so in a hurry. Its amazing how the lake effect can pummel an area and just a short distance away the sun will be out. I'm prepared with a new blower to break in so bring it on! Would love to have a cabbed tractor but the budget didn't allow at this time.

As I mentioned before, lake effect predictions can be true or false. The storm warning says 7-14" tonight followed by 5-10" Wed. then 3-6 more Wed. night but the weather in motion radar map doesn't agree. You also know how lake effect can be. I have seen 12" overnight in my area, yet 20" just 5 miles north of me and less than an inch 5 miles south of me all from the same storm. It started snowing lightly here about 4 PM, now at 6 there's about 2".

Good evening from New Brunswick, we're waiting for the same storm that you are getting. We have almost no snow, except in the wood there might be 2-3 inches. Has been a good winter up to now. Supposed to get 3-6 inches. Here anything less than a foot , need not worry. Have a good night..

As expected, the weatherman was not correct. We did not get the 7-14" predicted last night. Had about 5" when I left the house at 5AM. It was still coming down in whiteout conditions and was a little hard to see the road driving to work. I'm sure by the time I get home I'll have enough to plow. Winter has arrived.

One to three inches here in West Charlton, not enough to get tractor out of barn but I'll probably use the 30" walk behind to clear driveway.

Ended up with 11 inches where I am. Not the 12-18 they predicted but enough to try out the new blower.

We got 8" out by the airport. Fist time using the truck and V blade! I was surprised how quick it was, and much less cumbersome then I expected. Did 7 driveways in 1.5hrs. Too bad i got up at 4am, just to have work closed for the morning. LOL

We got about a foot or so just north of the airport.

Just came in from plowing. We got a little over a foot. Had about 5" when I left the house this morning and another 7-8" by the time I got home.

The tendency in our area seems to be "sky is falling" scenarios anymore, what with the Weather Channel naming storms and so on. They'd run out of names pretty quickly if they named lake effects. I'm only about 60 miles up the road from you.

We got just under 3' in the last 3 days with another 2-3" due today. Got to love lake effect! CJ

My last 7 years or so of commercial plowing was with a 9'4" V on my F250. That was the perfect plow/truck combination and I've plowed with just about everything from 1/2 tons to 1 tons. You can move a bunch of snow quick when you get used to them. CJ
