A "major winter storm" heading up the East Coast could bring heavy snow inland, the weather service said. The exact track of the storm and snowfall totals are still in flux, and the weather service says this is a particularly difficult storm to predict. The weather service has issued a winter storm watch, which means that snow of 7 inches or more is possible but not certain. The watch extends from Tuesday afternoon through Thursday morning. Similar watches are in effect as far west and Rochester and as far north as Tug Hill, including Watertown. Snow could fall as far north as Maine.']Time Lapse Video Shows Carrier Dome Transform From Basketball to Hockey (yahoo.com; Leahy)[/URL][/B] [I]The Frozen Dome Classic that took place on Nov. 22 at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York[URL='https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/syracuse-crunch-set-indoor-attendance-record--honor-leah-still-042828942.html'] set the U.S. indoor attendance record for a professional hockey game[/URL]. The AHL’s Syracuse Crunch beat the Utica Comets in front of 30,715 fans as history was made. The Crunch took control of the Carrier Dome at 12:01 a.m. ET on Nov. 17, giving the company building the rink less than a week to work with. They managed to finish the job in the tight time-frame and the game went off without a hitch. This time-lapse video, set to the never boring "Ice Ice Baby," shows the entire process, from the last Syracuse basketball game before the break to the entire rink-building process to the hoops team’s return to the court nine days later. ...

Not so fast, Buffalo: Read the fine print. According to the rules of [URL='http://goldensnowball.com/']the Golden Snowball[/URL] -- and its national brethren, the Golden Snow Globe -- measurements are taken at the official National Weather Station station in each city. For Buffalo, that's the airport. And while areas just a few miles from Buffalo posted staggering figures of 90 inches of snow in a week, the Buffalo airport has had just 20.6 inches so far. "It has to be official from the National Weather Service," said Pat DeCoursey, who keeps tabs on the snow contests. "There are a lot of good snow spotters up there, and I respect them, but they're really not official snow stats." Buffalo still has double the snow Syracuse has had so far -- 10.1 inches -- but that could change this week.
