SyracuseThe Greater Syracuse area is a region of rolling hills, flat plains, lakes and streams. The City of Syracuse is located on a rise at the southern end of Onondaga Lake. The gently rolling terrain stretches north of the city for 30 miles, where it meets Lake Ontario. The Finger Lakes begin 20 miles to the southwest and Oneida Lake is eight miles northeast.City altitude ranges from 364 to 681 feet, while approximately five miles south of Syracuse, the hills mount to about 1,500 feet. Immediately to the west, the terrain is rolling and elevated 500 to 800 feet above mean sea level. Natural resources in the area include hardwoods used in furniture making and abundant water of high quality used by local corporations such as Anheuser-Busch and Bristol-Myers Company. The Syracuse area enjoys a four-season continental climate with marked seasonal changes. Due to geographical location, cyclonic systems that move from the interior of the country through the St. Lawrence Valley affect the Syracuse weather, as do the cold air masses that advance through the Great Lakes region from the Hudson Bay area, making winters cold with snow. |
