What drying runs into in Worcester
Serving Worcester and the surrounding area, including Elm Park, Morris Square, Central Business District, Lower Pleasant Street District, Crown Hill, Lincoln Square, Downtown, Theater District.
Local housing stock
Roughly 73,353 of Worcester's 85,876 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1951; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1951 with more than eight in ten buildings older, the dense hillside neighborhoods have narrow streets with parking on both sides, so clearing snow means pushing it onto the sidewalk and against the walls.
Climate & seasonal risk
October brings 4.84 of the 48.26 inches Worcester sees in a normal year, and July averages 70.8 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at WORCESTER RGNL AP, 3.3 miles away. October is the wettest month at 4.84 inches of a 48-inch year and four months average a low below freezing, so the wet season runs straight into a long snow season; what is piled in January is against the building until March.
How water losses tend to end in Worcester
- Snow stacked against walls for months, so the base of the building is in contact with it
- Piles at the sidewalk edge, so meltwater runs back toward the buildings rather than the street
- Nowhere to put it, so the same pile is rebuilt after every storm in the same place
