About another inch this morning brings the total to 1 foot here. Roads
this morning were very bad and completely snowcovered. Main roads this
afternoon are partially snowcovered. Secondary roads (paved) are
snowcovered. There is blowing of snow across the highway. Light snow
continues. The CASICAM is back in service. I barely got out of the
driveway this morning. The snow is very light and easy to cut through
with the car, but the snowcovered roads were hard to navigate with
balding tires. Temperature has still not made it above 29.
Sayre, PA : Member Bryan Farr
Here in Sayre Pa, we got a total of about 12" here at my house with
higher drifts up to 16-18". It is still snowing at 11 am. The pressure
has
risen to 980 mb up from 977mb, oddly enough this is only 5 mb higher
than
that of the Blizzard of 93 for here. We seemed to be on the Southern
end
of the hardest hit areas. The Finger Lakes region got it the worst.
I was listening to a radio station from Ithaca, NY and all the roads are
closed in Tompkins and Cayuga Counties where a State of Emergency is
in effect. They were saying that some areas have recieved 12-18". With
more on the way as the lake effect snows kick in. We should get into
the LE snows in a few hours and gain an additional 2-4" whereas people
north of here are expecting possibly a foot more. I took a lot of video
shots. I may get out a little later today to see the rest of the town.
