Well all you first-year non-resident Syracuse University students, it's inevitable. Like it or not, winter IS coming. According to the National Climactic Data Center, Syracuse averages more than 115-inches of snow a year. That statistic might have you feeling a bit nervous.
Scott Casenova a life-long Syracuse resident says,"Everybody just kind of you know, moans and complains and you know, the first thing they do when they get up is look at the thermometer. Like, just expect that it's going to be cold and windy, especially you know, December on."
So basically, he's saying you're just going to have to tough it out. Have no fear though - for Scott - this local guy on the street has a couple of tips.
He says it's simple: put snow tires on your vehicle so you don't slide all over the slippery roads - and - dress in layers to stay warm outside, then de-layer yourself when you head back indoors.
That sounds simple enough, right? Scott says sometimes people might over-react a bit though.
"My favorite thing honestly is the first time it snows, you'll see a bunch of students with umbrellas and it just makes me laugh."
O.K., so it's a bit of humor at the expense of others, but what Scott may have been getting at is if you stay calm and follow a few tips from some of the locals, you'll make it through the winter just fine.
