What drying runs into in Utica
Serving Utica and the surrounding area, including Cornhill, East Utica, West Utica, Bagg's Square.
Local housing stock
The typical Utica house dates to 1940, with close to nine in ten of the stock (91.2 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1940s work. Around a median of 1940 with nine in ten houses older, the roofs are slate with copper laid into the valleys, and that metal carries the runoff from two slopes at every valley, concentrated into a narrow channel with a fold down the middle of it.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 48.05 inches, 5.14 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 70 degrees in July; rain recorded at NEW HARTFORD 0.8 S 4 miles away and temperatures at UTICA ONEIDA CO AP 8.6 miles away. July is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-eight inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the valleys carry heavy summer rain and hold ice through a long winter; the fold takes both, and it is the thinnest part of the sheet.
How water losses tend to end in Utica
- Copper worn through at the fold, so the failure is a line rather than a hole and runs the length of the valley
- Ice standing in the channel through a five-month winter, so the metal is worked as well as worn
- A slate roof that is otherwise sound, so the covering suggests the roof has years left in it
