If you're a snow lover, unfortunately, this has not been the winter for you.
We are now in mid-February, and we have seen very little snow in Syracuse this season.
So far this season, Syracuse has only had 38.6 inches of snow. The average snowfall by this point in February is 88.9 inches.
That, of course, means we’re running a deficit of 50.3 inches compared to the average.
And since it’s been a mild February, most of the precipitation has fallen as rain. Syracuse has only accumulated 8.3 inches of snow so far this month!
So how does Syracuse stack up compared to last winter? Believe it or not, by this time last year, Syracuse only had 47.6 inches of snow. While that number is very low, we are nine inches below where we were last year.
By the end of April 2022, Syracuse only picked up 76 inches of snow, which was well below the average.
From this vantage point, warmer than average temperatures will stick around for quite some time, with no big snow chances soon.
