(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
NGUYEN: Talk about severe weather. Just take a look at this. I can't tell you how many inches that snow is piled up on, but several. You can just see it on the top of that building right there.
This is in Oswego, New York.
Let's turn to Jacqui Jeras now.
Do you know how much snow they have received? I mean, just looking at that, it's several inches.
JACQUI JERAS, CNN METEOROLOGIST: Yes, don't think inches, Betty. actually, think...
NGUYEN: Feet.
(LAUGHTER)
JERAS: ... feet.
(LAUGHTER)
JERAS: Exactly. Yes, there is a little city there called Mexico. And they have had just shy of five feet of snow.
NGUYEN: Oh, my.
JERAS: And this is from Saturday, of course.
This is right off of Lake Ontario. And we have had a strong westerly wind, so that cold arctic air that everybody has been experiencing, from the Midwest to the Great Lakes, that blows over the warmer lake water.
So, it picks up that moisture that's evaporated into the atmosphere. And then it condenses. And you get a little bit of what we call orographic lift once that moves over the land. And you have got the Tug Hill Plateau over there, which provides additional lift. And we get some hefty, hefty snowfall totals.
So, a pretty common thing, but it's a little late in the year. You know, especially Lake Erie usually freezes up by January. And that one is still wide open. So, this is day four where we have been dealing with really heavy snow bands. And these have been putting down between three to four inches per hour throughout the morning today.
So, on top of what you already have, we could be seeing another foot of snow, at least, in the next 24 hours.
Here is Mexico itself. Here is Oswego. They have had 44 inches of snowfall, and Parish, which is right here along I-81, 46 inches of snow since Saturday, and still coming down. But you can see that band has kind of shifted just a little farther on up to the north, so, maybe some of their neighbors could get a little snow.
Here is Lake Erie. Here is Buffalo. They're just getting in on some of the action, too. South of Buffalo is where we're getting some of the heaviest snowfall at this hour.
We don't expect this to be quite as bad as part of Lake Erie. It's frozen, not all of it, but part of it. So, we are still getting the lake-effect snows. We're going to see maybe an additional six inches on top of what you already have here.
So, the lake-effect snow warnings are in place, all the way just north of Syracuse, to the north of the Watertown area. It's going to be pretty rough here. We think this is going to continue for at least another 24 hours, heavy stuff, and then a little bit lighter later on in the week.
NGUYEN: So, many more feet of snow to go, is that what you're saying?
JERAS: Yes. I mean, yes, easily. We could definitely see another foot, maybe another two feet or so. So, when you put that in comparison what is going on today, say, in Indianapolis and Cincinnati, kind of a walk in the park, at least compared to what these guys are getting.
(LAUGHTER)
NGUYEN: Just put it all in perspective for us.
(LAUGHTER)
NGUYEN: Jacqui, thank you.
