Well, that was a whopper of a storm, let alone one in late April.

The most snow -- 18 inches -- fell in the southern Cortland County town of Virgil. In second place, with 16.3 inches, was another Central New York spot: the village of Erieville, in Madison County.

Hilltops and mountains collected the most snow because they stayed colder longer than the valleys, so more of the storm's moisture fell as snow and less as rain. Virgil sits at 1,424 feet above sea level; Erieville is 1,499 feet.

Two records were set in Binghamton: The highest snowfall total on April 19, with 11 inches. The old record was 6.9 inches. The total snowfall, which started Monday night, also broke the two-day snowfall record for April.



The city of Binghamton, 866 feet above sea level, got only about 6 inches. The official measuring station for the city, however, is the Greater Binghamton Airport, elevation 1,636.

The storm knocked out power to thousands of people, and schools canceled or delayed classes.

The searchable chart below shows two-day totals from 280 locations as of noon today. Snow is still falling as the storm departs; Tug Hill could still get another 3 to 6 inches today and remains under a winter weather advisory.
These data are unofficial and incomplete; for example, the official Syracuse snowfall amount generally isn't available until 5 p.m. The numbers are compiled from a variety of sources by the four National Weather Service offices that forecast for parts of Upstate New York: Albany, Binghamton, Buffalo and Burlington, Vermont.
