This first day of Spring is March 19th, and Old Man Winter will reappear this weekend. According to the Weather Channel, after an end-of-work-week break from rain, a weekend storm is heading towards the Northeast this weekend. It will bring mostly rain to Upstate NY on Saturday. Rain will continue in the Albany area on Sunday, but the Weather Channel is predicting a few inches of snow in areas around the Capital Region and across the state with the possibility of 5-plus inches at higher elevations in the Adirondacks.
