I went there between Fa '90 and Fa'94 wow! Don't recall a giant bird, but I remember experiencing thunder and lightning lake effect snow several times there, one time picking up as much as 6 inches in 20 mins.
@ny2ak09 Just saw this for the first time in my life i moved to the east coast from seattle we dont get lighting snow storms in seattle ahahha jsut clouds and drizzel easy place to be a weather man!
@ny2ak09 Hey now, California has a lot of experience with snow. There are towns in California (in the Sierra Nevada mountains) that have Oswegos annual average on the ground at any given time! Donner Pass in April the snowpack is usually around 15-23 feet deep. You think 100 inches a year is bad? Try 400. How about 8 feet in one storm? And Southern Cal? the mountains there get more snow that the east coast also...I'm just saying man, California can handle snow too. :p
i was in the tug hill durring this, and i was working at ups in syracuse... So orwell ny to syracuse 42 miles one way... I drove home durring a bad part of the storm, their was over 2 feet of snow on the local roads, I had my head out the window and couldn't seee the snow bank i was driveing on... luckly their's no traffic. The snow went strait over the top of my car lots of fun, and i celebrated by screaming when i finally made it home... very exciteing... in my 1 wheele drive crystler concord.
nice production...is that Glenn Patterson in the last few slides? I worked with him at WTOP and lived across the hall in Scales from him one semester at Oswego
I live right in the middle of the area that got this storm. I have figured out that I shoveled about fifty tons of snow off my roof. I also snow-blowed more than two hundred tons of snow out of my long driveway. I only missed one day of work during that time. And that was because it took me eight hours to get home from work from Syracuse the night before!
This is what I am talking about. Simply amazing visuals here. I was so envious when I heard about the crazy snowfall earlier this year. Can you imagine if they had had Youtube in 1966? Wow...
I LOVED the snow in Oswego. If you ever saw a mohawk-clad, overweight, flannel-wearing maniac eating ice cream on the bridges it was likely me. Nothing ever beat a frozen mohawk.
Well, these pictures are on campus, SUNY Oswego is right on the lake and on top of the heavy compacting that went on throughout the storm, the wind was also an issue, even when it was not snowing, sometimes ground blizzards would be an issue, so in a lot of places on campus snow could not accumulate.
I figured it would go good with the music with all the snow and all. I don't mind snow at all either, but it was def. worth a segment of "The Day After Tomorrow."
whats with the music?haha but it makes it more dramatic i guess..living here isn't that bad though..
yea..the snow is a lil bit too much but you'll get used to it..i've only been here less than a year but i dont mind the snow anymore..lol..snowdays and delays makes it better..sometimes..haha
I'm impressed and respect the people that endure winter after winter there.

@MiBlazed even easier in places like southern California where there's almost 100% chance of having exact same weather everyday ;)

sounds like music more fitting for an Eastern Front battlefield: if you go to Oswego, you'd better like the snow.

I had to shovel snow everyday maybe twice, depending on how much we got.
From 2:55 on all of the snow is over the water on the lake!

2:17 shows one of the enormous drifts from the storm
2:22 is Tuesday afternoon of that week (half way through) we got about 40 inches Monday night (officially measured, so who knows with the wind)
Stormy8174 4 years ago
It sure doesn't look like 85 inches. I guess Its because its lake effect snow and it compacts so much because of its high water/ratio content.

Even though the winters up here can be rough at times, they leave behind their own kind of beauty if you know where to see it. Nice video.
