Am I the only one that enjoys driving in snow?

Everyone has a ton of snow storm photos in the Albany NY area. We always gets more than our fair share of snow storms (most winters), and we can never see enough great photos of snow. If you ski or board, it's heaven for you - or if you have children in your life, it's a great joy to watch them playing in the snow. Check out our photo gallery of snow photos!

For many of us our morning routine was seriously messed up due to a power outage that took not only the greatest radio station every WGNA-FM off the air but also our sister station WTMM-FM. If you're like me your alarm clock is tuned to one of the two stations and you overslept. That was just the beginning of my fun.

Even though these past few days have been brutally cold, this winter season has been more like spring or fall.

We should prepare ourselves for hotter summers, snowier winters, severe floods, and a range of other effects.  Tropical Storms Irene and Lee are believed to be signs of a climate change for upstate New York.

Tis the season to be moody...Fall!  It's beautiful and everything, but think about it.  Why are these leaves so pretty?  Because they are dying and falling all over the place!  Kind of ironic, isn't it? We're supposed to be admiring them right now, and I'm cursing them!    So I wrote a little song to vent my frustrations.  Hope it helps you too!

We should be used to winter storms but it's a pretty big shock to the Albany area when they strike in October. Because of the nature of this storm and the time of year (still plenty of leaves on the trees) we may see widespread closings and power outages...

It's hard to believe that we're already delivering this news but Mother Nature continues to be nasty to us in 2011 as we are facing a pretty severe winter storm and it's only October! After the jump read the warning from the National Weather Service in Albany as well as some information you may need to know as the storm rolls in.

This has been one of the strangest years for weather in the Albany area and surrounding communities.

New York DOT has an interactive map you can use to see what roads are currently open or closed - many roads are closed this morning because of flooding due to the remnants of Lee. Check the map before you head out on the roads!

One lady decided to pull over during a nasty storm this afternoon while traveling on the Thruway. She pulled over to wait out the storm, and captured a tornado crossing over I-90 on film.
