Yesterday some areas of the Capital Region saw some pretty extreme conditions appear. Did you encounter any of it?

In the winter of 2008, we had one heck of an ice storm that hit the Capital Region! Power was out in the majority of the surrounding area and not just for a couple hours, but for some weeks. You were thankful to know someone with a generator and that, maybe the Subway down the street was able to whip up some sandwiches for the family.

Don't get me wrong, I am so happy that spring is finally here. However, when you think spring in March, it isn't all that pretty.

Thanks to that massive blizzard, If you live in Schenectady and today (Wednesday) was your trash day you had better make some space for it for a few days.

I am pretty shocked that it is currently 66* degrees outside right now, according to weather.com. I wasn't expecting it. I didn't see it coming. Neither did that darn groundhog a couple weeks ago (what shadow?)

We got a lot of snow over the weekend. I realize this is no news to you but listen, you could either be upset about it or just run with it and enjoy the heck out of it. I chose the latter and let me tell ya, it was fantastic!

Dear Mother Nature, Let me start by saying, man, you're beautiful. I love everything about you. Okay, I mean, almost everything about you. Don't get me wrong, you're great. Perfect, even. There's just times where I'm shaking

When I see "Nor'easter Developing" in all of the news headlines, I've got to ponder "What in the world is a Nor'easter"? Before you get too judgmental, please be advised that I am not actually from the Northeast. In the Midwest we don't really have such a thing.

The winds were monsoon-like, any moisture froze and we weren't expecting it, that's for sure. In a forecast that called for possible snow, waking up to nothing more than a windblown Capital Region was a nice sight, or so it seemed.

(To be read as sweet, joyous Christmas music plays in your head) Even as I write this there is a dusting of snow on the ground, the heat is up in the house, hot chocolate is steaming in my mug and the Hallmark Christmas movies are still playing on the tv...

I have a rental car, and my snow brush is in my real car at the shop.... I'm cheap and lazy, so I didn't buy and new one!  I know... lame. But, that's the situation.  I'm telling you this because I feel like you're gonna need yours tomorrow as you get ready for work...

We're expecting a BEAUTIFUL day Saturday. It's sad to think that this could be the last we see of the mid-60s for a while (unless we have a magical winter like last year - I won't hold my asthmatic breath.) So, how should you spend it? I have a few ideas!
