The first day of spring is Wednesday, March 20, 2013. Most of us people from the Albany area are

As we dig out from another significant winter snowfall and prepare to 'Spring Forward' this weekend, we'd like to know if you think this will be the final storm of the 2012/2013 winter season.

Puxatawney Phil who usually predicts six more weeks of Winter year after year actually shocked the world when he called for an early Spring this year.

While we aren't fans of naming winter storms, we also find the choice of Nemo for a storm to be almost as silly as naming them in the first place. Like most of the internet, we decided to have some fun with this and created our own meme - especially after we found Nemo.

Have you heard we're getting a storm? We haven't had much winter in the past two years so any storm delivering any amount of snowfall gets people all excited. We're expecting a pretty big storm though and many schools decided to close ahead of the storm. Our list of closings is continually updated as is our real time weather.

A major winter storm is ready to pound the Northeast. A blizzard watch is actually posted for Eastern New England with predictions of 8-14 inches expected for the Albany area on February 8, 2013.

Using the word stupid isn't always polite and should be reserved for special occasions  and The Weather Channel trying to name winter storms is a perfect example of when to use the word stupid.

Temperatures are in the single digits and we want to be sure that dogs and cats are protected from the cold. If you see a pet outside for too long, please be their voice and keep them safe and alive during these dangerously low conditions.

As everyone prepares for the First Winter Storm of the 2012/2013 season, Steve Caporizzo has provided some more updates for Wednesday, December 26, 2012.

Check out these before and after shots of the eastern seaboard before and after Hurricane Sandy. What these maps show are the lights of cities and it's just so shocking to see how many places are without electricity.

The entire northeast is getting plenty of high winds due to Sandy. We found a site that shows a 'live' charting via animation of all the wind blowing in the continental United States. It's shocking to see what a large mass of air the pressure inside Sandy is commanding - and just how widespread it is.

As predicted, Hurricane Sandy created one crazy night. Millions without power, explosions, flooding and at least 18 people dead. Don't let your braggedy friends on Facebook convince you this wasn't a big deal. It was crazy. Here are some pics to sum up what happened. Feel free to share your photos in the comments.
