Enjoy your warm Thanksgiving and relatively quiet and mild weather for Black Friday and for Saturday. Sunday into Monday and Tuesday, the weather will turn very active. What we know for sure: Next week will be stormy with lots of wind, especially Monday and Tuesday, with below normal temperatures, clouds and snow showers pretty much

Next storm on deck with high pressure to the NE of us will set the stage for snow or mixed precip to start, especially higher elevations and areas east of I-81… but it will changeover to rain in most areas by Sunday night into Monday AM. What is on the snow map will likely melt

Welcome to October! Almost 80 yesterday… Chill today… For those looking for snowflakes and any quick accumulation over the Adirondacks later this afternoon/evening… it’s looking like the moisture will outrun the cold just enough. Looking at the latest temps (as of 10 AM 10/16) and the radar trends, beneficial rains will continue but the cold

From Rich Lupia, owner and founder of Upstate Snow, I hope all is well wherever you are now. Welcome back! It’s been a spring, summer (and for many YEAR) we’d all like to forget for a whole host of reasons. But it’s getting colder, we’ve already had the first frost and freeze early this year,
