Summers in Syracuse are FABULOUS!! Absolutely wonderful! The temperatures are in the 80s and 90s, sunny...everyone is outside all the time! There are hundreds of things to do in and around town. Almost every weekend there is some kind of festival downtown. They have dancing in the streets in a few different parks on weeknights, fairs...it's great!
That's all just in the city of Syracuse itself. In the surrounding areas, there are lakes and rivers and lots of county and state parks and beaches and places to relax, go hiking, go swimming....I love summer in Syracuse! It's the best!
Of course, I love hot weather. If it drops under 70 I'm cold! And I don't like air conditioning at all. Right now, I'm at work and the AC is on, so I have my own electric heater under the desk cranking away and am wearing a sweater!! I would never make it any farther north!!
