The highest recorded wind speed of 46 mph on March 16. However, a possible microburst on that date damaged the wind sensors and the mast they were mounted on. Wind data was unavailable for 5 days until the mast was repaired and the sensors were replaced. It is possible that the wind speed was higher. See the blog post.
Stormstown Dispatch 
Thanks for sending this, Bill. This morning I woke up to a coating of snow on cars and rooftops. The temperatures have been wild recently, some days reaching 70 or so, and some in the 30s. Typical for Springtime in Syracuse.
Hope you and all are well. Marcia ☀️☃️🪻
