The big storm is here for the next two days. There still remains an unusually high degree of uncertainty with this storm. So lets break this down into what we know and what we don’t know as of 7 AM 02/01/21 WHAT WE DO KNOW: Eastern PA, The Poconos, The Tri-State area (including NYC this

Snow will indeed hit Upstate NY despite our analysis three days ago that said otherwise. It’s a funny reversal. If you remember back to the beginning of December, before the December 15th incredible storm that hit the Southern Tier and Eastern NY, There was a “bullseye” hit for most of Upstate NY indicated three days

Now that snow has returned, what about the cold? It’s on the way again! With snow cover over much of Upstate NY now and more and more clubs opening up, it’s time to explore some areas that were previously closed off due to lack of snow. Don’t wait. THIS IS THE TIME! I’ll explain why

Like yesterday, breaks of sun are in the offing, especially this afternoon. Could be a nice sunset! Tonight it will be clear at

What we’ve been waiting for is here. Another lake effect event underway, already pounding Buffalo and the southtowns as of this writing, stretching even into the southern suburbs of the Rochester area. Soon to fire up over the Tug Hill and western Adirondacks again. A decent snow map for accums over the next 24-30 hours.

We are back in business! A lot more territory is open for snowmobiling than last week and more miles of trails are likely to be added this week.
