Lake-effect band buries northern Oswego County
Saturday, December 06, 2008
Staff report
While a bright December sun enveloped Syracuse on Friday, 30 miles to the north a steady band of lake-effect snow buried northern Oswego County.
"We got about two feet and I think it's here to stay," said Pulaski Police Officer Chris Van Patten.
Most of the snow fall had stopped by the early afternoon as the lake-effect band moved northward.
The band left 18 inches of snow in Redfield, said National Weather Service weather watcher Carol Yerdon.
"We've now had a total of 106 inches of snow for the season and it's not winter yet," said Yerdon, adding a special message for those who got to enjoy Friday's sunshine.
"Winter doesn't start for two more weeks," Yerdon said. "Don't worry, it will be coming your way."
Sandy Creek residents woke up to a foot of snow they had to move around. Brian Killam had to shovel his way out of his home at 6 a.m. to get to his job as assistant manager of the Sandy
Creek Big M Market across the street. The person who was supposed to be there couldn't make it. But the snow was no biggie for Sandy Creek and nearby Redfield which got more than 12 feet of snow in one week in February 2007.
"We're used to it," Killam said. "A couple feet is nothing up here."
The snowfall got heavier until the sun came out around 11 a.m. But its warmth melted the snow and made it heavier to shovel.
Sandy Creek residents prepared for the snow on Thursday by buying up the usual staples at the store, such as bread and milk, Killam said.
"I always chuckle a little about that," he said. "When was the last time we were snowed in for any more than one or two days, even more than a few hours?"
At the Redfield Hotel, people were shrugging off the snow as a minor and expected inconvenience. The area had about three feet on the ground, according to Wendy Ranieri, who works at the hotel.
"Just another day in Redfield," she said.
