Mother nature has reminded Central New Yorkers that we're not out of the snowfall season...yet. While the calendar says spring, Central New York saw widespread accumulating snow. The roads were slippery and there were several traffic accidents in our area, especially in the afternoon. The heaviest snowfall rates topped over 1" per hour during the peak of the event.
Here's a look at local totals:
8.5" Taberg
7.5" Oneida
7.0" Forestport
7.0" Holland Patent
6.6" Westmoreland
6.5" Glenmore
6.0" Paris Hill
6.0" Oriskany Falls
4.5" Curtis Corners
4.0" Utica
4.0" Milford
4.0" Cherry Valley
3.0" Old Forge
2.5" Worcester
The official total of 4.0" for Utica broke the daily snowfall record for March 23rd. That record was only 3.0" set back in 1968.
Most of this snow is expected to melt this week, as temperatures climb back into the 40s Tuesday and Wednesday and back to near 50 by Thursday.
