Lake-Effect Snow in Northern Cayuga, New York
Lake-Effect Snow February 19, 2020 – February 20, 2020 · Northern Cayuga, New York
The wider storm
A weak system moved across New York, spreading light snow that quickly changed to rain over far western New York. This snow greatly affected the morning commute in Rochester on 2/18, but amounts were not significant. Cold air in its wake moved back into the region on 2/19 with strong northwesterly flow. This resulted in lake effect snow accumulations approaching a foot over much of the southeast shore of Lake Ontario. Selected totals included 11 inches in Phoenix, 12 in Wolcott, and 10 inches in Victory.
