winter

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!

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.

With flu season upon us, 46 percent of Americans have received a flu shot, whereas 47 percent said they have not and will not.

First Flakes is coming back soon...  

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...

When I looked at News 10 -ABC and WGNA chief meteorologist Steve Caporizzo's forecast I thought it was a bad joke. I'm sad to report that it is not.

Not trying to  beat this "Snowmegeddon Winter" subject into the ground, but I have to ask you one more question that bugs the heck out of me, and then I'll leave this alone for awhile--promise!

I DO!  It's been fantastic.  The Northeast is THE place to be!  Wouldn't live anywhere else!  The snow, the icesickles, plowing, bundling up in layers, driving to work on the Northway  in the slippery stuff in your SUV and yelling "Yeeeeehaaa" out the window--bring it on!  Gotta have it.

According to a psychologist in Wales, this Monday, January 17th, is the most DEPRESSING day of the year.  It's also Martin Luther King Day but one has nothing to do with the other.  --Dr. Cliff Arnall says he figured out that the third Monday of the year is the most depressing day of the year because of all kinds of bad news converging on that day ...

The modern snowblower is a staple here in the Capital Region.  A requirement.  We should all hug our machines each day and thank it for it's faithful devotion (make sure it's off!  The burns could be devastating!!)

I'm not a fan of driving in the snow but I don't mind it so much when it's not windy and the fluffy nice stuff. Fortunately for me that's what fell last night and I actually enjoyed shoveling it - a little peace and quite does a person good from time to time...

It is winter in Albany after all and so we shouldn't be surprised when we get snow but alas we generally are. The National Weather Service in Albany has issued a Winter Weather Advisory.
