What drying runs into in Syracuse

Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Syracuse were built and the answer is 1948 at the median, 90.5 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1948 with nine in ten houses older, the houses sit close to their drives on narrow lots, and there is nowhere to put cleared snow except against the building; a winter's worth accumulates there and stands against the foundation until it goes.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 43.35 inches, 4.2 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 71.8 degrees in July; rain recorded at DE WITT 1.4 WSW 2.3 miles away and temperatures at SYRACUSE HANCOCK INTL AP 5.2 miles away. July is the wettest month at four inches of a forty-three inch year and four months average a low below freezing, but the rainfall is not what loads these walls; the snow that arrives over the winter is cleared to the same place every time and melts against the foundation for months.
How water losses tend to end in Syracuse
- Cleared snow piled against the foundation, so the wall has a standing water source for the whole winter
- Melt arriving slowly and continuously, so the ground beside the wall never gets a chance to drain
- A source that is put there deliberately, so nothing about the weather or the building explains it
