But glancing through the photo archives of the Post-Standard our older relatives may have had a point.
A big snowstorm in Syracuse and Central New York could mean a total disruption of normal life, often for days.
This was especially true for folks who had to go to work, to the store or anywhere for that matter.
The photo above of cars stuck in snow in the city above is from a storm which dumped 20.7 inches on Syracuse between Feb. 14 and 15, 1960. More than 18 inches fell on one day, setting a single one-day for a 24-hour snowfall in February.
