We're #1, Please Kill Me Now
by Tom Bozzo
You have that right, folks, despite being relatively free of lake-effect snow by virtue of geography and prevailing winds, we are snowier than Syracuse for the winter-to-date, with another 3-4" expected tonight. Looking around, I have to head to the Lake Superior snowbelt to find someplace materially snowier.
It perhaps goes without saying that if I wanted to live in Syracuse, I could have had twice the house for half the price, access to the Stickley factory outlet, etc.
(Note to Mom: pack boots.)
Some climate data as of 2/11/07...

I've been trying to convince Shira that Binghamton wouldn't be a bad place to live.
Trying to figure out if this is ammunition, or if I should just not let her read the blog for a while longer...

Binghamton is listed as a proxy for Ithaca, which doesn't have its own climate summary from the NWS (that I can find).
I imagine it's only a moderate exaggeration to suggest that Binghamton house prices are more like commissions on northern-NJ ones.
