Syracuse smashes record, reaches 70 degrees

[eilen]

12. I live here in Syracuse, pretty much grew up here.

and indeed it was balmy. We ended up with pouring rain by evening and it is still coming down. Just a little over a week ago it was snowing. Snow 30 inches more than normal is predicted for this winter. Our weather is so changeable lately, I think most of us are waiting for the other shoe to drop (one extreme to another). Our summer was very hot, more sun than I can remember. We used to pay for every 2 days of clear blue and sunshine withe 3 days of rain and overcast with a week or to of hazy, hot and humid in August. Our Winters have historically been very cold (deep freezes right after Christmas and then late Jan/Feb). We always had a Jan. thaw which served to give us some false hope winter would warm up a bit and maybe shorten. There is definitely a change. I remember back in the 1970s we had so much snow, we couldn't open our doors.
