With more people breaking out their sleds this winter, comes the increased chance for accidents on the trails. There have been a number of accidents already this year.
It's not just vehicles police set up checkpoints for. It's snowmobiles too. They're looking for any safety concerns and anyone violating the modified muffler law in New York.
Winter's not quite over yet. While most of the snow has melted in Central New York, there is still some on the ground in Old Forge. And this weekend will be the perfect chance to keep winter alive a little longer.
Unfortunately, this winter we've gotten FEET of snow...then rain. Then more snow and another thaw. This weekend (February 24-26, 2017) would have been the rescheduled Boonville Snow Festival, but it has been cancelled again.
