Hi SL, I don't think any of us believe the weather man this time. It wasn't a "big" storm in that it didn't cover a large footprint, just intense snow where it passed.

For what it's worth you're not alone. There was a story out of one of the Syracuse stations a few weeks back about a sudden lake-effect storm in Pulaksi, NY, [pronounced pulas-sky (as in the atmosphere sky), rather than the seeminjgly more appropriate snow sport of pulas-ski] on the Eastern edge of Lake Ontario. See: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Pulaski,+NY,+United+States+of+America&sa=X&oi=map&ct=title
You may have to zoom out. Anyway, the story went that they were getting snow at the rate of four inches an hour and could barely keep up with keeping the roads clear. Might not have been on the high plains, but they had some real drifters by the time that one came and went!
