A vehicle travels south on Glen Road, just south of the intersection with Buttonball Drive, on October 18, during one of a handful of snow squalls that passed through the area Sunday afternoon. The snow — the first of the season — appeared a few times during the 2 o’clock hour, but melted as soon as it hit the ground. While Massachusetts also saw similar squalls, residents of central New York didn’t enjoy the weekend snow as much. The Associated Press reported that central parts of that state received up to 9 inches of snow over the weekend. The highest snow totals on Sunday were in the neighboring Oswego County towns of Mexico and Parish, 25 miles north of Syracuse. And while Fairfield County was under the season’s first Freeze Warning on Saturday and Sunday, it was again tougher for those in New York. The AP reported that the temperature plunged to 10 degrees during the early hours of Monday, October 19, in Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks.
