April 24, 2012 We do a lot of complaining about the weather here in the Utica-Rome area but the fact is it could be worse. A late April snowstorm has swept through Western New York leaving lawns coated and highways slush covered. Orchard Park, just south of Buffalo and home to Ralph Wilson Stadium had received almost 5 inches of snow by late Monday afternoon with more on the way. What's the outlook for the Mohawk Valley?
March 18, 2012 Spring doesn't officially arrive until Tuesday but with the National Weather Service (NOAA) calling for temperatures in the 70's today and for most of the upcoming week it seems like we have skipped that season entirely and jumped right into summer. The winter of 2011-12 has seen above normal temperatures and below normal snowfall but the recent warm spell has been exceptional. The average temp for today, March 18?
March 7, 2012 Granted it hasn't been a typical upstate New York winter with tons of snow and prolonged cold snaps but most of us would agree that we are ready for a change in the weather. The National Weather Service (NOAA) is predicting temperatures in the mid to upper 50's today and Thursday then, after a brief cool down, more of the same for Sunday and Monday. This means we need to be on the lookout for the symptoms of"spring fever".
February 7, 2012 To some people the mild winter of 2011-12 is a blessing but to snowmobile enthusiasts and those whose businesses depend on them it had been a nightmare.

January 26, 2012 Admit it. So far our central New York winter hasn't been much of a winter. And, statistics back up the fact that this is one of the mildest winters in quite a while.
January 14, 2012 He's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Old Man Winter has returned to central New York, and I've got the shovel to prove it. We knew it couldn't last forever - green grass and rain in the middle of January. But, many of us are glad to see winter acting like winter, especially skiiers, snowmobilers, snow shoers and snowboarders. For complete weather details, check out our weather page.

January 5, 2012 We are in the early stages of the "Frog Days of Winter", and so far, not too bad. So, where do we go from here, weatherwise? Let's take a look at the Old Farmer's Almanac for preview of coming winter attractions.
January 4, 2012 Ben Bailey may be better known for the show 'Cash Cab.' He drives around in a cab, asking people questions to win money. But Ben has a side job as a stand up comic. And he's pretty funny.
