The water ski is about a quarter inch wider, but the Kuro has more surface area for sure. There is an outside chance I may get to ski them this weekend. May have to hike 2-3 feet of snow though, I'll keep you posted.

...lake effect snow warning remains in effect from 7 pm friday to

* locations, southern jefferson county, northern and central
oswego county, central and southern lewis county. Greatest
amounts across the tug hill plateau.

* timing, from early friday evening through early sunday
morning.

* accumulations, 5 to 10 inches friday night, 7 to 13 inches
saturday, 2 to 4 inches saturday night, leading to storm
totals of 2 to 2.5 feet in the most persistent lake snows on
the tug hill plateau, and 12 to 15 inches in persistent lake
snows across lower elevations.

* winds, west 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph producing
blowing and drifting snow.

* visibilities, less than a quarter mile at times.

* impacts, localized bands of heavy lake effect snow and
blowing snow will result in snow covered roads and very poor
visibility. This includes interstate 81 between central square
and adams.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

In lake effect snow the weather can vary from locally heavy snow
in narrow bands to clear skies just a few miles away. If you will
be traveling across the region be prepared for rapid changes in
road and visibility conditions.
