Can you get any further North in NY?
Yes!! About 3.5-4 hours north of me is the land known as,
The Bubble of Goodness.
That is where they created the phenomenon known as UpstateNYupser.

The weird part about lake effect snow is that it is not part of a storm--it is simply cold air picking up moisture over a warm body of water and dumping it when it meets cold land. I have driven through a lake effect event two separate times and both times were white-knuckle moments. Picture going from a sunny day in to a blizzard and then back out in less than 1/2 hour. Imagine going from 65+ mph down to less than 20 on a major highway (I-81). Try to imagine the frustration of shoveling a foot or more of snow today only to have to do it again tomorrow and maybe even the day after while your neighbors less than an hour away wake up to clear skies.

Those whineasses cry all they want. So can everyone else with supposed lake effect. They don't have 7 miles of Ontario churning at you with a 7 mile water lift of thunder clouds dumping 4 inches of snow an hour for days at a time.
We are the real snow belt. All others are just cheap imitations.

cheap imitators!! just kidding. But, you do know some cities are in the 'sweet spot' to get pounded with the white stuff. Just logistics! Where I live, there is a competition(so whacked) between Syracuse and Buffalo as to who gets more snow. We got 179 inches of snow last year, winning the NYS Golden Snowball Award.
Did you hang it on the wall beside your Best Mac & Cheese Award????

No, sadly, the mayor of Syracuse got it. I'm not telling whether or not it hung on my wall for any length of time, though.

Lake Superior is an OCEAN compared to the other Great Lake puddles.
Lake effect snow is the price paid for living next to the largest reserve of fresh water on Planet Earth.
Warmer by the lake / Cooler by the lake are interchangeable terms proving that she (the Great Lakes) takes care of the faithful lining her shores.
I grew up on the Southwest corner of Lake Michigan.
We had snow and we liked it. (Sorta like the primadonna area of the Great Lakes - we experience it all but in gentle quanities.)
