That happens routinely in the "Lake Effect Snow Belts" on the south
side of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. Even small towns budget millions
for snow removal.

I've spent a total of months in Canada on projects over the years. Never
saw snow like they get in Rochester, New York though. One of my longest
day trips to the University of Rochester lasted over a week. Snow
started and I couldn't get out.

Heh, welcome to Upstate NY. Wonderful weather for a few months in the
summer, not so much the rest of the year. It's a good place to be
from. :-)

The strange thing is Endicott/Binghampton is not that far away and the
weather is fairly moderate for up north. The lakes don't seem to
affect it that much. I spent Oct-Dec up there in 80, working at the
support center. I went home for Christmas and never went back.
It was still to "up north" for me.

The lake effect snow belt is only about 20 miles wide depending on
wind angle. I spent a winter in Ithaca once and it seemed almost
tropical by comparison to my home town 50 miles to the north. Ice
storms were more of a hazard on the Ithaca hills.
