I came across an article from the Albany Times Union today (March 10) talking about seasonal ice cream stores in the Capitol District opening for the season, and it got me thinking, don't ice cream stores open much later in the spring around Central New York?

I did a quick, wholly unscientific, survey of local ice cream shoppes Facebook pages and here's what I found.

Bonomo's Dari Creme on Route 5 in Westmoreland has begun their "Guess When We'll Open" contest. So they're thinking about setting out the open sign at some point. Their contest ran early March and they hinted they would be open sometime within the next three weeks.

Tasty Treat in North Utica has not made any updates to their Facebook page, but their Closed for the Season photo says they'll be back "on or around April 1." No fooling?

Voss' in Yorkville is mum on any opening date, however a Google season for them turns up a Utica O-D article from April 17 a few years back talking about their spring re-opening.

Nicky Doodles does have a definitive 2015 opening date for their locations, Saturday March 14.

Let us know in the comments below what your favorite CNY ice cream location is.
