Recent rain has churned up a ton of sediment on the Genesee River. This water rushes northward where it meets up with https://t.co/Q8M37gQE0V

Radar estimated rainfall totals in parts of Wayne county now pushing 2.5”. We’ll likely be over 3” when all is said and done. https://t.co/mFoDLRfIwm

At this point, it's reasonable to assume we're done with snowfall (I think). Syracuse easily takes the win with 115.4" of snowfall on the season, although even that number is about a foot below average. While it was certainly a busier winter in Rochester, we too were over a foot https://t.co/5uZjdOt1PU
