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.
We ran a LOL moment this morning with Ben talking about it being cold outside. And yes, it's very cold outside today. One of our listeners liked it and wanted to hear it again.
The National Weather Service has issued a Lake Effect Snow Warning from 6 tonight to 6 tomorrow morning. While the forecast is up to a foot of snow, it appears the heaviest snowfall will be in Northern Chenango and Cortland Counties. No matter how muc
It has been a very slow start to the winter sports season with snowmobilers and skiers hoping in vain for a healthy dose of the white stuff but it appears that wait is over. With most of Central New York expecting several inches of snow and colder temperatures over the next few days the area's ski center's can give their snow making machines a break and count on Mother Nature for some of the real thing. Most of the ski slopes are reporting improved conditions.
Technically it's not quite winter yet. The winter solstice isn't until December 22 but here in upstate New York we tend to think of winter beginning much sooner, sometimes even in November. According to the National Weather Service the normal snowfall total for December in the Mohawk Valley is around 32 inches but so far--nearly halfway through the month-- we have officially recorded less than one in the Utica area. As for the most and least December snowfall totals check out the numbers from NOAA.
Ok, here's a subject we may not want to think about, but one that we'll be dealing with the next several months...shoveling. We've already seen some snow during the "Frog Days of Fall", and much more will be on the way. Every year, we hear advise on how not to over exert ourselves, when shoveling.
We've all experienced it -- that moment you can't stop cracking up when you really shouldn't be laughing at all. Two news anchors try to keep it together when weather graphics keep showing up on camera during really inappropriate times. See how they handle the comical situation while reporting on serious stories.
This being our first October weekend means that the "leaf peepers" will be out in full force checking out natures great fall foliage show. According to iloveny.com most parts of the north country are experiencing near or at peak conditions. The show is always better when the sun shines so let's check in with NOAA for a look at the upcoming few days.
The "Frog Days of Fall" began today at 5:05 a.m., or technically known as the autumnal equinox. Autumn is my favorite season...apples, football, Halloween, and The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown TV Special.
A number of schools were closed or delayed this morning and even more roads are closed, as Tropical Storm Lee dumps more rain on Central New York. Tadpole toured the area this morning, taking pictures and video of the massive flooding . The last time we saw this much rain was in late April, when a tornado even touched down in Frankfort.
Hurricane Irene is on her way and preliminary reports suggests she’ll be a big one. To get an idea of just how big though, check out this aerial video of Irene filmed from the International Space Station as it passed over the Eastern seaboard.
I learned exactly what is meant by the "Dog Days of Summer" a few years ago from a listener who corrected me on Big Frog 104. To begin with, we have plenty of Frog Days of Summer left, so let's see what makes a dog day a dog day.
With the recent heat wave we've had to suffer through, it's nice to have some cooler, wet weather. The plants certainly needed watering.
There is a severe thunderstorm watch in effect until 7 tonight for Western New York, the Southern Tier and parts of Wastern New York. The storm could bring hail, wind gusts up to 70mph and dangerous lightning.
