Seasonal snowfall totals to 1992-1993 from 1884-1885 for Oswego, New York

Continuous monthly snowfall information started with the 1884-85 snowfall season. During this 109-year period measurements have been made from at least 9 locations within, and near Oswego City. Interpretation of snowfall data is complicated not only by the number of reporting sites, but also by varying methods of measurement, and by wide variations in snowfall conditions due to high percentages of lake-effect episodes. Space limitations require that this paper concentrate on this 109-year period, Table 1, and on the selection of some recent seasons, Table 2, for brief special comment. Four photographs by the author illustrate typical conditions (Figures 1-4). Dedications and acknowledgments comprise the final text section.
