18. You mean this?

First the fire hydrants vanished. Then the tombstones. Then went the mailboxes, parked cars, front doors, stop signs and the bottoms of roadside billboards.

By the time the snow stopped falling this weekend over Oswego County in upstate New York, the streets were lined with snowbanks that obscured anyone walking behind them, shoveling crews were charging upward of $200 an hour to clear the tops of houses, and gawkers were driving in from hours away.

“This is the roof, right?” Mark Fahnestock, 27, asked his companion, Jessica Stiffler, 26, both of Lancaster, Pa., Sunday after he climbed a snowbank so tall that it merged with the roof of a church in Scriba.

Incomplete records prevent the National Weather Service from calling the 11 feet, 9 inches of snow that fell in this upstate village over the past week-and-a-half an official record, but it does beat the 10 feet, 7 inches that fell in nearby Montague over seven days ending Jan. 1, 2002.

The heavy snow was produced by a stalled system of intense lake-effect squalls that blanketed communities along eastern Lake Ontario with from 7 to nearly 12 feet of snow over a 10-day span. Lake-effect snow continued to fall in the area Monday.

Other snowfall totals included 121 inches in Parish and 106 inches in Mexico, both in Oswego County, and 106 inches in Osceola in neighboring Lewis County. The city of Oswego received 85 inches.
