Almost heaven? Well it would be a little closer to heaven if I had snow! Even at over 3,300 feet elevation I had the big sun ball in the sky, 54 degrees and zero natural snow anywhere in the mountains around me. Just melting manmade snow on the slopes of the ski resort I was

Additional snowfall is on the way this evening, tonight and into the morning of Christmas Eve!

Odds are increasing quickly for a snow event, especially along and north of the Thruway developing Saturday and tapering off on Sunday with a little additional lake effect. It won’t be what we need to ride. But it is snow. And it is a start. And with this being the 5th model run in a

For the first time in weeks, I have something called HOPE. Hope we will see a return to snow in Upstate NY. Hope for a White Christmas. Maybe on that one. Hope for a pattern change. Hope that winter will arrive late rather than not at all. This is an evolving process so I’ll start
