That’s 113 years of records! 1349 Months!
February 2015 (9.0°F)
February 1934 12.1°F (old record)
Also one of the snowiest February’s as well, looks to be the 2nd snowiest February on record. (59.9″)
(50 inch’s recorded here as of 02-26-2015)
All on all, it has been a Cold Ass Month here in Central New York. Not a single day above 32°F
I recorded 32.6°F on 02-04-2015, that’s the highest for the month! I don’t consider that above 32 (grin)
After weeks of relentless Cold and snow, February is coming to a close.
Spring can not come soon enough!
High and Low Data are what was recorded here at Fairmount Hill’s
Official Lows are from Hancock Airport, where the official readings for Syracuse are taken.
Current conditions at Hancock Airport
The airport is approx 7.5 miles NE, Elev:421 ft
My station sits at Elev:642 ft, a couple of hundred feet in elevation can make quite a difference in temperatures, thus the airport recorded some record cold temps.
The airport recorded several NEW records for low temps this month.
