April 1, 2013 I wish this was a April Fool's joke, but it's not. Northern Oneida County is under a Lake Effect Snow Advisory from 8 tonight until noon Tuesday. Other parts of Central New York may see snow too. Click for the details.
March 26, 2013 10 Days to spring! And that's not some groundhog prediction either. It comes straight from climatoligist, Jessica Rennells with NOAA's Regional Climate Center at Cornell University. Jessica says last years' "above normal temperatures" coupled with this years' slightly "below normal temps" makes it seem like winter is lingering.
March 26, 2013 We all know that the groundhog predicted an early spring on Groundhog Day last month, so what happened? Now, there have been those who want to prosecute Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog for getting it wrong, but at the last minute, his handler stepped in to take the rap.
March 22, 2013 Don't kill the messenger. The National Weather Service has placed us under another Lake Effect Snow Advisory unitl noon Saturday (3/23/13). Click for the where and when. I don't think there's a why.
March 20, 2013 Spring arrived early this morning, and can't you just feel that spring is in the air? Well, as we all know, when you live in central New York the seasons and the calendar don't always line up weather-wise.
March 19, 2013 With this last blast (hopefully) of winter weather, roads are snow covered and very slippery. But, we all do have to get places today, and if you're traveling out of town, we have the latest conditions on the New York State Thruway.
March 19, 2013 Spring may begin tomorrow, but someone should tell Mother Nature. A late storm is bringing snow and sleet to the area, causing school closings and delays, along with several accidents this morning.
March 18, 2013 Any snowfall that's less than a foot wouldn't scare most Central New Yorkers, but today's (3/13) Winter Weather Advisory comes with possible sleet. Click for the details.
March 18, 2013 As you may be aware by our Frogcast today, the Utica-Rome area could see significant snow beginning late this afternoon and continuing overnight (4 - 7 inches possible). In anticipation of the snowfall, the City of Utica is declaring a snow emergency beginning tonight.
March 18, 2013 Upstate New Yorkers know that a calendar is pretty useless this time of year when it comes to predicting the weather. Although spring is officially set to arrive on Wednesday all the latest weather models show no signs of any warmup soon. But how about last March, do you remember how spring arrived in 2012? Just look at the stats.
March 11, 2013 Hopefully, we all sprung ahead this past weekend to begin Dayllght Savings Time, and even though we lost an hour of sleep, by now we've made it up (although my father claimed that he lost an hour of sleep everynight until we returned to standard time). So how much more daylight did we gain?
March 9, 2013 Spring will officially arrive on March 20 but we are already seeing those first signs of the changing season. Crocuses sticking out of the snow, robins returning to snow free backyards, geese flying north and, as I like to joke, grandparents and retirees returning from Florida. There are some other less familiar signs that spring is near.
