What are winters like in Poughkeepsie, NY?

#1 Postby Stormchaser16 » Tue Sep 27, 2005 4:36 pm

I just moved here for college, and I want to find out some information about what i can expect as far as winters go here, i used to live in central NJ so i was always right on the rain/snow line. What is the situation with that here? How much snow on average do we get a year?:?: :?: :?: :?:

Any information appreciated!

Colder than the proverbial witch/sorcerer body parts...

Yeah. You're right! Vassar is in Poughkeepsie. Not as bad as weather at Cornell which is in Ithaca, no? (I was very tired and I guess my brain was fried when I posted.) Poughkeepsie is a lot milder.

As you may have guessed, my experience of Cornell/Ithaca was that it was always cold and always snowy and icy. I was a child when I lived there and it left lasting memories of a sort of endless winter. I associate the two places, I guess because we moved from one to the other, but Poughkeepsie did not prepare me for Ithaca.

Well, it sounds as if you are familiar with both areas, so your observations on them are much more valuable than mine, as I only spent one day in Ithaca and have never been to Poughkeepsie! :wink:

You will normally be on the heavy snow side of many of those Nor'easters. We normally see a lin straight north into Albany where some heavy snows can be seen on occasion. Believe me you'll get a whopper within the next four years!
