A Syracuse Google...

SO I thought I would google syracuse to become informed a bit more, and this is what I learned...

Syracuse is known for its snowfall. Boasting (boasting they say, pah!) 115.6 inches (9.6ft)on average. The Syracuse metro area receives more snow on average than any other large city in the United States. Syracuse continually (continually, mind you!) wins the Golden Snowball Award, among Upstate cities. Its record so far is 192.1 inches (over 16ft). The high snowfall is a result of the fact that the city receives both lake effect from nearby Lake Ontario and nor'easter snow. Snow most often falls in small (about 1-3 inches), almost daily doses, over a period of several days. Larger snowfalls do occur occasionally, and even more so in the northern suburbs.
