" National Ranking based on the number of cities that beat us."

That's a weird thing to suggest (and obviously untrue).

I hiked Washington in the winter, once, via Amonoosuc Ravine. Relatively mild conditions, but the top of the head wall was solid globby ice. Crampons are a wonderful thing.

lol complain to them. If it’s wrong I swear I didn’t make it up.

Most Yearly Snow in Syracuse History

[Jcuse_44]

“It also snows in many NFL cities too“

and 1/3 of the college cities at minimum.

 

[NKR1978]

Snow is freaking beautiful. Embrace it as a positive. Because it IS.

And given that people are starting to really notice and lament the loss of decent snow storms, we really should lean into and embrace it. I hate that NYC hasn’t had a decent storm in years.

If you click on the header "Rank" you'll see that the ranking refers to the snowiest years in Syracuse history. 1993 is ranked 1st at 207.9 inches. 2007 is ranked 2nd at 184.6. 2005 is ranked 3rd at 176, etc.

One has to wonder if our snow rankings have seen artificial bumps all these years.

 

[upperdeck]

there is snow and there is lake effect.

lately syracuse hasnt gotten much of either

 

[All4SU]

All this talk about snowfall in Syracuse, you guys jinxed us! Nine inches here last night. Cut it out!

That rascal Dohn at it again bumping our snow rankings.

I'm afraid to ask--'crampons' aren't some sort of post-menopausal product, are they?

 

[orangencpolice]

Do they ask kids going to OSU or Michigan or Wisconsin or Penn State about snow?

Ridiculous.

I have preached the same thing for years. Tired of the excuses. Now we have a coach who is the best recruiter in the nation and is building a legacy. I hope all the posters that made “the weather” the excuse as to why we were bad read this post.

… he asks, on the internet, where Google exists.

I hate that this snow in Syracuse is a thing...If you want to play in the NFL, half the teams are in snow areas, going to have to deal with it at some point. Plus we have a sweet dome, snow should be a nonfactor imo.

It literally doesn’t make sense at all.

It’s just something for the media to be negative about because they know nothing of our program other than we have been down.
They do not know what to make of Fran’s resurgence on recruiting in a very short period of time. It does not fit their narrative. Thus, they have to be critical on something else.

stole my line, "embrace the snow'. Just told my wife this morning, as long as i am not shoveling it or driving in it, i like it. Actually bought a pair of snowshoes and head over to Green Lakes. It's just as beautiful there as it is in the summer. Last year, I was bummed because there was so little snow it never happened. The team plays indoors, and practices indoors when necessary, why should he care

 

[RF2044]

Agree that it's overblown.

But man... I can't help but think that it could be a problem with the kids we have visiting this weekend. It's one thing to have snow. It's quite another to wake up and have just shy of a foot of snow that wasn't there that day before. What an impression.

“Syracuse? Really? Are you SURE you want to go there? There’s still time to change your mind.”
