We had 14 inches on the deck at 4 am .... over 20 most places in the drive and deeper spots  going to the shed . That was Horseheads. Had the walk ... deck and drive  cleaned out at 530 and plow truck buried it again 4 feet . Tractor back out .. clean it out again.  On the road 10 minutes  to 6 ... drive to watkins  glen  drop the wife off and all the way back to Corning  walked through  the gate with 5 minutes to spare .

That's equivalent to a dusting in WNY. Don't even count it till it's 15"+

news says binghamton has gotten 33" crazy , be careful folks

I'm just West of Binghamton in Apalachin and we got between 40 and 42 inches. Way more than the blizzard of 93. We r buried pretty good. Not a single plow has passed by since 830 last night. 17/86 is one lane heading East currently and they are rescuing stranded tractor trailers. We'll be lucky if we get out by Saturday. Was looking forward to hunting the weekend and took Monday and Tuesday off too but can't imagine shooting one and then getting it out let alone trudging through 3+feet of snow.

The only time you can bait a deer with a snowmobile,  you lay down a few passes with a sled and I guarantee deer will walk where the sled drove.

22 here in the Hudson Valley.  Aunt says 30 out on the farm.  She's been known to exaggerate.  Might be a good excuse to break out the snowshoes for an evening hunt this weekend.  Willing to be they're yarded up near the freshly cut maple/hemlock.........

Yep, here on the Chautauqua Ridge that is just another "little bit" of snow!

[Buckmaster7600]

I like snow but 35” is a bit much! I had to dig myself out with the bucket of a 60hp 4wd tractor when I got stuck on my road at noon today.

It's amazing the difference in snowfall over just a few miles out here. I'm in Clarence and almost never get the big ones but Cheektowaga and south get lambasted a couple times a year. I dont think I had a flake in the Snowmageddon event and my boss in OP got 7'. Yes, FEET

my mom grew up in north tonawanda, she said schools never closed. It was so flat, you just walked on top of snow to school. Whereas, when i was kid we had no school for a week for the blizzards of 94 and 96. even with chains on the bus tires, they couldn't get up and down the hills. We lost a lot of spring breaks as a kid due to too many snow days. nowadays, we rarely get snow anymore.

[MPHunter]

They say the Albany airport only got 23 inches. I measured 28 inches in my back yard in Colonie a few miles away. Snowbanks over the top of my mailbox. About 20 minutes into cleaning up the right tire on my snowblower went flat and broke bead with the rim. Wouldn't hold air to inflate. It was a bitch clearing all that snow with a single tire snowblower.  

[mowin]

Just got done plowing. Started at 4:30 this morning.  23" at the house. 37" at one of my clients only 8 miles away.  

[Bionic]

Damn thats a lot of snow.  We only got 13” roughly here in Orange County, but I did work a 31 hr shift for it, I will gladly take their money.

[grampy]

We ended up with 34 inches here. I'm beat, and sore, but all done.
