cold

After a mild and low key Christmas week, Old Man Winter is ready to get back to work.

On Saturday, I along with my sister Sherri, girlfriend Samantha and son Brody ventured downstate a bit to 'A Frosty Fest'.  A Christmas-y, holiday lights thing that features characters like Santa, a penguin, snow boy and girls, some live shows and snack/souvenir shops.  Interestingly enough it's also the same place in Ulster Park (just outside of Kingston) where they do the Headless Horseman aroun

Winter hit us quickly. You may not have been ready with your rock salt or heavy coats yet, but most likely, you already broke this New York State law with the cold.

Our cold October and November may be the best inidicator of what is to come this winter.

We haven't even started the winter yet and it's already been bitter cold. It looks as if we are in for a long cold, snowy winter. There are millions of dollars available in heating assistance for all New Yorkers that qualify.

NOAA has announced their outlook for the upcoming winter. What will it be like here in the Capital Region?

You may see a little relief in your heating fuel costs this winter.

This weekend it looks like the weather in the Capital Region will finally take a turn towards Spring.

Unfortunately, Spring may not come early. It looks like colder than normal temperatures are predicted for March. Here I was, hoping for warm weather to roll in, until I read a post by newyorkupstate.com dashing everything I had hoped for...

Last month was brutally cold so the state is offering more assistance for New Yorkers' heating bills. Here's what you need to do.

It pains me to write this, so please don't curse  the messenger. More brutal winter weather is coming our way in the next few days or so and it's not going to be pretty.  Snow will be falling and so will the temperature.  Insane cold is in our forecast as the vaunted polar vortex makes it way through the Capital Region this week.

Right now, we're dealing with both a foot or more of snow and ridiculously frigid temps- so that totally sucks.  But, Chrissy and I get into the argument all the time.  Assuming that we weren't experiencing both, what would you rather subject yourself to?  Dealing with the struggle of massive snowfall or dealing with the misery that comes from sub-zero temps?
