Colgate/Hamilton, New York (or Syracuse)
« on: April 15, 2007, 10:51:23 AM »
By this time next year, you all might be sick of me. DH is job hunting - specifically post docs and fellowships at colleges/universities. So every time a job gets posted, we research the area. So expect a few of these...

The newest listing is at Colgate. I know zilch about upstate New York - except that it snows a lot!!

Anyone familiar with the area? I understand that Syracuse would be commutable if we felt we needed to be a bit closer to a city... but Hamilton seems like a nice college town...

My brother is a fireman in Syracuse - anything specific you'd like me to ask him?  I'm from Buffalo and my parents now live north-east of Utica (so we straddle Syracuse). 

The snow you get in upstate NY is highly dependent on where you are relative to the lakes.  It's mostly lake-effect snow, meaning that the cold air has to blow down from Canada and across the lake where it picks up moisture, before it dumps it when it hits dry land.  If you aren't on a lake effect path, you won't get much snow.
