Fort Drum at a Glance
Climate figures: NOAA 1991–2020 normals from the Watertown Intl Ap, NY station, about 12 miles away. Snowfall is from the Watertown, NY station, about 6 miles away.
Planning Around the Weather
DOE's Building America map puts Jefferson County in the Cold climate region (IECC 2021 zone 6A, PNNL county guide). Winters in this region are long enough that freezing, not heat, is usually the main limit on units that carry water.
Snow and Access
Average snowfall is about 116 inches a year (snowfall normals from the Watertown, NY station, about 6 miles away), more than nine in ten U.S. places in our data, enough to bury a ground-level path several times a winter. Service trucks need a plowed path to each unit all winter, and a cleared, packed pad keeps units level as snow piles up; agree who clears the route.
Freezing Nights
About 151 nights a year drop to 32°F or below, more than nine in ten U.S. places in our data, so freezing weather covers a large part of the year. Anything that holds fresh water freezes first: hand-wash stations, deluxe flush tanks and trailer plumbing. For winter dates, ask for winterized units or a heated restroom trailer, or plan on sanitizer.
Job Sites and Home Projects
Newer Homes
Half of Fort Drum's housing units were built in 2004 or later (median year built, ACS 2020–2024), newer than nine in ten U.S. places in our data. Newer lots often have a driveway the truck can reach, which makes it easier to place a unit for additions, pools or landscaping work.
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 sets the floor: one toilet for up to 20 workers, then a seat and a urinal per 40 (per 50 at 200 or more). More on sizing: construction rentals in New York.
Events, Weddings and Parties
A three-hour winter event for 1,000 people needs 8 units on the PSAI event chart, or 9 to 10 with alcohol (PSAI adds 10–20%). Every cluster of restrooms needs at least 5% accessible units, rounded up; for winter events, clear the route to the ADA unit at full width, not just a footpath.
Cold, not heat, limits the outdoor season: from late fall into spring, ask for a heated restroom trailer or units that do not depend on running water. For winter events, clear and pack a path for guests and for the service truck before setup. Events in a county park follow the county parks office's rules; ask it what applies before you book.

Who to Ask About Local Rules
Fort Drum is a Census-designated place with no municipal government of its own; depending on the spot, a town or township or Jefferson County handles local rules. For an event on public land, or a unit that will stand on a street, sidewalk or in a park, ask the town or township the site is in, if it has one, or the Jefferson County government before you book what applies.
