Our clipper and lake effect will be rolling on through and we will be rolling back into winter! Watch out for gusty winds today along with any snow. By Friday morning, temperatures will nosedive. Single digits and teens in most places. Our forecast from yesterday still stands… A quiet day Friday before the well advertised

Latest runs of the models showing our clipper system a little farther south. Despite this I think the models may be picking up on our lack of snow cover. With this being a borderline temp situation overnight Wednesday, the slightly farther south track and with good low level moisture and upslope flow over Tug Hill

Folks winter will be back. After analyzing the clipper and cold blast coming in back of it, I have a feeling this event starting Wednesday overnight into Thursday 1/16 and ending by morning Friday 1/17 (with bitter cold temps) will over perform what models are showing. Low level moisture behind the clipper is good, but

Record warmth and rain through Sunday morning will put the ultimate test to what is left across Tug Hill and the Adirondacks in terms of snowpack. The lower elevations

If you want to ride anytime in the next few weeks, you have a few days to enjoy it. You will not have the weekend. We had a nice hit of snow the last few days across the Tug Hill and Adirondacks, which has healed riding conditions there. Our next clipper system drops in tonight

We’ve got snow to talk about! It’s sad in January in these parts you get excited with 2″-5″ on the snowmap for Tug Hill and the Adirondacks… but at least the first half of the winter of 2019-20 is being defined this way… A hunting season that would have been glorious had it been snowmobile

Snow returns today! NOT ALL IS LOST. THERE WILL BE RIDING OPPORTUNITIES NEXT WEEK! This pattern change we called for will hit starting today and means through Thursday, for the next 5 days at least, we will mainly be adding to the snow and bringing in the cold. We will be in rebuilding mode. Yeah

Yes good news heading into next week in the short term but indications are now very strong that this pattern change next week is not going to hold. It’s enough to make your stomach churn as you will see in the details. Mine has been literally the last 36 hours which had me wiped out
