WINTER IN NEW YORK ❄️ Landmarks in Syracuse, located in central New York state, were blanketed in white on Thursday, January 1, after a storm dumped heavy lake-effect snow. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), such snowfall is typical for parts of New York state in the winter, when the unfrozen waters of the Great Lakes mix with icy air in the upper atmosphere, forming clouds that rapidly produce snow.
