Redfield/Williamstown, Oswego County

[modified1]

We'll check out these sites. What about Hastings? Is that in the lake effect snow belt area, too? Thanks for the info, you have been a big help. Also, would anyone happen to have any pictures of the Williamstown/Redfield area that can be posted on the forum? Thank you.

I can help you! I'm a realtor in Sandy Creek, which is only about 15 miles from Redfield. I can help you Moderator cut: realtor soliciting give you an inside view of the county in general.

Hastings township is a little further south, about a half hour from Sandy Creek. They get a little less snow, but still are technically in the snow belt. That region is generally defined by the I-90 corridor (runs east-west) Redfield gets so much because they are in the Tug Hill, a higher elevation.

The other information you are getting here is accurate.

Hi,
I was born and raised in Central New Jersey. I spent most of my time that was out of N.J. in Central Maine

In both places, I have seen the kinda snow that a storm dumps up to my hips, ( I'm 6'2 ). Let me tell you something, Not Vermont, not Rangeley, Maine not Caribou, Maine and certainly not any place in N.J. can compare to the area you are speaking about in terms of snow.

Know what your getting into. Perhaps move to Syracuse for a winter and rent to see how your going to like it. To get more snow then the Tug Hill you would have to go to U.P. MI or Stampied Pass WA or Sierra Nevada as in Donner pass to get more snow.

The snow belt can extend down to ( at times ) Binghamton N.Y. and I've seen it in narrow bands going through Albany on 87. Your driving along, everything is fine, then all of a sudden your in a snow squall and there is already a foot of un-plowed snow on the ground and your doing 55 or 60.

It is very rare, but a few years ago, on a sunny, cold winter day in New Jersey ( East Brunswick ) I saw a brief snow squall against a crystal blue sky. Yep, Lake Effect. Only the weather man on the radio said it was from LAKE ERIE not Ontario! Because of N.J. latitude no doubt.

Same sort of thing happened to me in Maine back in '88, a Nor'easter came through, storm was moving out, I looked up and could actually see the clouds leaving and the crystal blue sky opening up, getting wider and the sun was shining against the pure white glistening snow, that was hip deep.

Yet look on youtube, for Oswego blizzards 2007, to see what you could be in for LOL!
