| Event narrativeevent_narrative | A storm system rapidly intensified off the New Jersey coast during the evening of the 29th, then moved very slowly northward overnight and during the day on the 30th. This system threw substantial altlantic moisture inland over a cold air mass in place across central New York. This resulted in a period of intense snowfall from late at night on the 29th until midday on the 30th. A narrow deformation zone developed from the Syracuse area southward into the central southern tier during this time frame. Snowfall totals were significantly enhanced within this band. In general, event totals ranged from 10 to 15 inches across central New York. However, amounts of between 20 and 30 inches were common from the Syracuse metro area southward along the I-81 corridor to Cortland, then westward to the Elmira/Corning area. Some specific amounts included Homer in Cortland county - 27 inches, Ithaca and Groton in Tompkins county - 24 inches, Syracuse airport in Onondaga county - 24 inches, Veterans and Horseheads in Chemung county - 24 inches, and Danby in Tompkins county - 22 inches. |
