Wrapping up a historic Winter 2022-2023

One of the main things that stands out about this current winter season is the lack of snowfall…again.

Through the end of March, Syracuse has only accumulated 65.6″ of snow for the season. Not only is this close to 60″ below normal for this point in the season, but it’s also almost 10″ below last year’s seasonal total by March 31st (which was 74″).

Here in Fairmount/Camillus we are approximately 8 miles West of Syracuse Hancock Airport, so we get snow when officially the Airport doesn’t.
Here my totals stand at: 78″ with 34 days of actual measurable snowfall.

Third snowless winter in a row

Last winter and the one prior ended up on the top 10 least snowy winter seasons. If you do not include our current winter season, in fifth place is the 2020-2021 season with 73.3?, and in 6th place is last year 2021-2022 with 76.0?.

The month of April averages 3.0? of snow, so we shall see how the next few weeks play out. Our current pattern favors accumulating snowfall for the higher elevations outside of Syracuse.
