winter

Daylight Savings Time is here, we've seen temperatures approach 50, and Spring arrives on March 20, 2103. This is all great news, unless you like to ice fish.

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.

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.

Are you getting that annoying light on your dashboard telling you that something's not right with your tires? You better pay attention to those Firestones of yours!  Here are some tips.

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.

Are you dreaming of a White Christmas? The Bing Crosby song is timeless and also says a lot to so many people. When I was living in Phoenix, AZ and flew back to Albany for the Christmas holiday, all I wanted was a white Christmas. Regardless of if you live here or not,  many people want to have some snow on the ground. So - will we have a white Christmas in 2012? We've been doing some research and

So how does this happen? Bascially the hurricane comes up the coast and merges with a potent Arctic cold front over near the Great Lakes and then BAM - several inches of show with perhaps tropical storm winds. There could also be flooding along the coast of NYC and New England. In short, if this happens we will have a huge mess on our hands.

Really? Roads completely unplowed in a major town like Niskayuna? I realize I drive in rather early, but I don't get it.  I could go on here, but I'd rather sing my complaint, if you don't mind in commemoration of the first winter snowstorm of the season.

Am I the only one that enjoys driving in snow?
