The snow is getting closer. Whiteface Mountain was home to the first significant snowfall of the season a few weeks ago. Now it's the Tug Hill Plateau.
The first day of winter isn't until December 21 but someone forgot to tell Mother Nature. The first sign of the season has already arrived in Upstate New York.
If you're a winter enthusiast, the latest prediction for the upcoming season is snow big deal - a wetter winter for Central New York but with warmer temperatures.
Get the coats and shovels out. Winter may be making an early arrival in Central New York with cold temperatures and plowable snow expected next month. And if that's not bad enough, the winter weather is expected to hang around a little longer than normal too.
Well, if you thought the snow in 2020 was impressive, just wait until the snow starts piling up this year. Early forecasters are predicting a REALLY snowy winter will have a lot of lake effect snow.
Scattered rain showers linger today with blustery winds into the afternoon and evening. Rain gradually changes to snow with some light accumulations overnight. Most of Saturday will be dry before a few rain showers move in during the evening.
If you're like me, you probably are thinking, "Drought? In Spring when it's raining?". I was stunned to learn we are suffering a drought, but it makes sense.
