New York snow fall starts

Snow fall in New York

The storm brought only seven inches of snow to New York City, far less than expected.

According to the National Weather Service, the areas with the most snow are in Oswego and Lewis counties which get clobbered each year with snow drifting across the eastern edge of Lake Ontario.

And it's the usual places: the tiny town of Redfield in Oswego County is leading the state with 82.6 inches of snow as of Friday.

“There are certain areas of New York that get more snow than others," said meteorologist Christina Speciale of the National Weather Service. "Those spots usually are by Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, and that’s due to lake effect snow.”
