Upstate/Eastern New York- Meteorological Fall


 Share

Recommended Posts

I actually had to put the AC on last night because it was so unbearably warm with a "low" of 70 and dewpoints in the upper 60s in the freaking tropics of Sizzlercuse. Yet again, on par with warmest temps in NY equivalent to heavily urbanized New York City (low 70s). I am so over it 

Yes, I am looking for new locations starting in Spring. Lol

I didn't know you hated the warmth that much, where you thinking? Hopefully still in upstate. 

You could always build a house on the Adirondack mountainside. That way you can guarantee cold all year long.

I have grown to enjoy the "warm season" more, especially since I LOVE plants and gardening. I have always loved the cold seasons better though. They are much more comfortable for me.

The thing I hate is how much longer and more extreme the summers are becoming and then extending into my favorite season, Fall, which seems to be disappearing. I also hate living in a place that heats up SO EASILY with the gentlest of breezes or first peak of sunshine. I am truly dumbfounded by the ability of Syracuse to heat up ridiculously fast. It may be a northern city that "supposedly" gets lots of snow, but the temperature climate is quite annoyingly warm for a northern city.

We will see about our next move. The wife and I have discussed a few options. She is advancing well in her current job and if we do end up staying, hopefully we can find an affordable home. We also have discussed Garrett County, MD, maybe Canaan, WV, or maybe back to Michigan. When we went back this summer, we realized how much we miss "our Michigan."

Lots up in the air....we could very well end up here another year or two...I will just have to accept, as difficult as it may be for me (lol), that Syracuse is a furnace.

You just need to experience a real winter in Syracuse. They usually get pounded. I think it was 2010-2011 they had a really good winter. They got 40-60" in this storm

A couple days later got 20" from this one.

2010-2011 is a top analog for this upcoming year.

I know here in the northern burbs can do better too. If we end up staying in the area, the zone between here and Fulton is definitely an area we will be looking at.

Syracuse has been below average for snow 3 straight years, I'd be surprised if we go for a 4th. Looking at the stats, its rarely happened.

I actually have had that website opened on a tab on my computer for the past week. lol. I've been using it to look at years that have been brought up. Some of the winters mentioned on other subforums have been CRAP here...so not sure what to think.

P.S. Their maps are often SOOOO off compared to the reports listed. I have noticed that many times. If you were to extend their colors/totals to Syracuse, according to the map, it wouldn't show the 40 to 60 inches that was recorded.

They go by what's reported from the spotters.. Phoenix for example had 22"..That's how lake effect rolls lol 

Two 
to four feet fell within the narrow band off Lake Ontario as 
well...from Wayne County to the Syracuse area. In fact, some 
Syracuse area locations received close to five feet. The gradients 
were extreme though...with only a few inches falling over many 
nearby locations.
Off Lk Ontario: 
Lacona....51 inches
Newark....42 inches
Fulton....29 inches
Marion....29 inches
Phoenix....22 inches
Rochester area....14 to 24 inches
Syracuse area....40 to 60 inches

Just get a place on top of a hill in Springville. You'll have snow from Nov-April on the ground every year.

I would love it! But my wife has made it pretty clear if we move outside of the Syracuse area, it will NOT be another location in New York state. Ha. There are several reasons for that...
