THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY NIGHT THE BAND WILL BEGIN TO MEANDER...AND WILL LIKELY SINK SOUTH INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN OSWEGO COUNTY AT TIMES. SNOWFALL RATES WILL REACH 4 TO 5 INCHES PER HOUR UNDER THE MOST INTENSE PORTION OF THE BAND.
ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS TONIGHT WILL REACH 2 TO 3 FEET IN THE MOST PERSISTENT BANDS OVER THE NORTHERN SECTION OF THE COUNTY. ANOTHER FOOT IS POSSIBLE THURSDAY...AND ANOTHER FOOT THURSDAY NIGHT ACROSS MUCH OF THE COUNTY AS THE BAND MEANDERS SOUTH. THIS WILL BRING STORM TOTALS FOR THE WEEK TO 100 INCHES OR MORE IN SOME LOCATIONS.
This snow band has been sweeping back and forth across our county like a fire hose burying us in another foot or more of snow with each pass since sometime Friday or Saturday. Enough. (Northern Oswego County is where we live.)
The nearby airport is closed, but the roads look like they might be open... if a bit dodgy.
And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.

While the northern Plains and Northeast shiver in arctic 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.
Mexico, New York is 19 miles from here. I don't think we've had six feet here yet, but maybe we've had five or so. It settles some, so I can't tell from how much is on the ground.

I've finally got three workers on my mobile home roofs. Lost one mobile home. It was already pretty much of a junker, so I'm actually relieved not to have to recondition it. I'll salvage the furnace, water heater, bathtub, etc., all of which I need to complete other homes I'm working on.
By the end of the workday, the rest of my homes should be out of danger. I'll have to email all my eBay, etc. customers who have been expecting whistles this week and ask for their patience. The whole week's been consumed by this snowfall, which is now at about six feet in as many days.
Reminds me of when I was growing up in Ottawa. They don't get those kinds of snowfalls anymore due to climate change. We certainly don't get them here. Its been cold, but all the snow is going north of us or south to Jerry's house.

I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.
We didn't get a lasting hard freeze until halfway through January, with temperatures in the 50's some January days. If Lake Ontario is warmer than normal, it would turbocharge the lake effect snowfall.
