Lake-Effect Snow in Southeastern St. Lawrence, New York

Snowfall totals ranged from 12 to 24 inches with a specific total of 25 inches in Star Lake.

Brisk, cold west-southwest winds blowing across relatively mild Lake Ontario accounted for the lake effect snow machine to develop during the late afternoon hours of January 14th and continued through the afternoon hours of January 15th. The lake effect band shifted northwest to southeast during this period with the main impacts occurring during the evening hours. Snowfall totals across southern St. Lawrence county were 1 to 2 feet.
