Snow capped in North Redfield. The snow on the level is over 40 inches deep after nearly nearly 6 feet fell to the ground. Lake effect snow quickly settles under its own weight. (Carol Yerdon)

It was as they say, a good ol' fashion lake effect pounding -- a snowburst -- 60 to 72 inches of snow (confirmed). Put simply, they got hammered -- all of this while a major lake effect research project is going on east of Lake Ontario (http://owles.org/).

9:00 a.m. Saturday Update: Winter storm warnings for much of the northeast U.S. are in effect.
Your forecast

Today: Lake effect swinging south of the Syracuse area. Then sun and clouds with snow showers during the day. 1 to 3 more inches in Syracuse in snow showers. High 24.
This evening: Partly cloudy. Chance of a flurry. Temps down to 12 by 11 p.m.
Tonight: Clear early in the night then increasing clouds. Low near 7 above.
