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?.

Data and some highlights, courtesy of:Localsyr

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.

New Batteries

Installed new Lithium Batteries in the transmitter today, when the temp dipped into the 30’s the console showed a low battery.
Better to get it done now than in January or February.

Syracuse’s Wettest Summer on Record, nearly 100 Years!

Wettest Summers

Wettest Summers


* * * *
This is the wettest summer in Syracuse since 1922, or just about 100 years! Records in Syracuse go back to 1902.
This is the first summer where at least six inches of rain has fallen in June, July AND August.

The rainfall that put us into second place was courtesy of the remains of Tropical Storm Fred. In fact, during the 24 hours from Wednesday morning through Thursday morning *3.57” fell which meant we had the equivalent of a full months of rain in just one day!
* = Officially at the airport. Here in Fairmount I measured 4.21″ during the same time period (8-18 to 8-19)
8-17-2021 we got 1.30″, giving a total of 5.50″ over 3 days!
There is still a week to go in August, so you never know, might take over the number 1 spot!
