STACKER (WSYR-TV) — The United States has seen a wide range of winters over the past century. There have been warm years where folks could stroll through parks in February to turbulent, frigid seasons where people had to hunker down inside.

There were years when blizzards swept in unannounced, covering huge swaths of the country in blankets of snow, while other years brought hurricane-force winds to cities and towns across the nation.

New England experiences a large number of hurricane-level storms and cyclones, mainly from nor’easters that form in Canada and travel south.

To give you an idea of how these winters have played out over time, Stacker put together a list featuring information and statistics for each year of the past century, beginning in 1922 right up through 2002.

Winter Storms

Syracuse just experienced its driest fall season in 25 years with parts of the Finger Lakes currently under drought conditions.

For the just completed fall months of September through November, Syracuse recorded just 7.21” of rain which is more than three inches below normal and the 26th driest fall. That makes it the driest fall season since 1998 when just 7.00” fell.

The breakdown of this fall showed each month with a rainfall deficit: September was off 1.39”, October down 1.42” and November .48”

The dry weather the last three months has put the Finger Lakes under “Abnormally Dry” conditions while parts of western New York are in ‘Moderate’ or ‘Severe’ drought. Areas around Rochester and just to its southwest have had less than six inches the last 90 days!

The driest fall on record in Syracuse was 1913 when just 3.73” fell. Records in Syracuse go back to 1903.
