Residents of Syracuse are just now beginning to get the upper hand over the onslaught of lake-effect snow that was unleashed on Central New York from Sunday to early Thursday morning.
Early Thursday morning, the National Weather Service reported that 43.2 inches of snow had fallen at the Syracuse Hancock International Airport, after removing the 4-day lake-effect snow watch that had been in effect since Sunday.
This storm is ranked as the fourth highest total record snowfall over a four day period, 1.4 inches lower than the top ranked blizzard that occurred in February 1966.
Even with all the snow Syracuse University had classes on schedule. Kyle Harris, a student at Syracuse remarked “ Its fun to see, but not, I mean not to walk in and go to class and stuff” Even with maintenance crews working around the clock snow still clogged the streets and covered the sidewalks.
Not all the people of Syracuse had bad things to say about the storm, a local running group who run every Thursday stopped to say “Its beautiful, gorgeous, it Mother Nature at its best.”
Syracusans continue to move the mounds of snow off their cars and brace against any other weather that may be on it way.
