Despite Wednesday’s snow burst, the area’s snowfall is still below where it should be. While December’s snowfall is about where it should be, the season started nearly 10 inches below average – which could mean a winter with less than 100 inches of snow.
Last month seemed more like spring than late fall. It was 5.4 degrees warmer than average. It was 2.78 inches below average for precipitation. And, snowfall was 9.1 inches below normal.
We’ve gone 235 days without measurable snow. While Syracuse has gone longer — 277 days — a local observer of the weather sees something else in the numbers. Bill Gregway thinks we might be in for a winter of very little snow.
The average temperature last month was nearly 1.5 degrees colder than normal. Precipitation was a little higher than average – but there wasn’t any snow.
The first part of September 2009 was relatively mild like it should be; while the last several days were rainy and cold like an early spring month, noted Bill Gregway, local observer for the National Weather Service. The vast majority of the month’s rainfall fell in the last part of the month.
The average temperature was just 0.7-degree warmer than average. And, the total precipitation was 0.47-inch below normal.
July goes into the record book cooler, but not as wet as you may think. The average temperature last month was 67.2 degrees, which is 3.6 degrees cooler than normal. Total precipitation for the month was 2.82 inches. That is 0.21-inch below average.
Tuesday’s windstorm dumped more than a half an inch of rain on the area. The month’s snowfall total is stuck at a trace, however. Wind speeds reached into the mid-40s. Warmer weather is expected for the next couple of days.
The average temperature last month was 1.2 degrees warmer than average. Meanwhile, the total precipitation for September was 2.30 inches below average.
