January 9, 2013 Living in the Utica-Rome area in winter has many advantages, especially if you're a snowmobiler. In fact, snowmobilers come from all over the country to enjoy the miles and miles of snowmobile trails we have here in central and northern New York.
January 8, 2013 Years ago, I happened to be in Niagara Falls, New York during February. It was cold and there was tons of snow, but as I ventured down to the Falls park, I saw some breathtaking scenes. Maybe you've got some vacation days leftover from 2012 and are looking for a winter getaway close to home, perhaps Niagara Falls is the place (OK, it's not the Bahamas, but you'll see some breathtaking views).
January 8, 2013 If you want to get outside during the winter and don't ski, snowboard or snowmobile, try snowshoeing. I know people who love to get out on the bright white snow on a sunny day, get some fresh air and a great workout on their snowshoes.
January 8, 2013 With January in full swing and the holidays over, we get a real dose of reality...it's winter for the next 11 weeks or so. If you don't enjoy winter sports, the "Winter Blahs" can set in. But there are ways to beat those Winter Blahs.
January 7, 2013 As we all know winters in Central New York can be long and hard. If you are a winter sports enthusiast it's great but if you long for the warm days of spring and summer it can be downright depressing. That's why so many of us plan a mid-winter getaway to someplace warm. Here are some popular spots courtesy USNews.com IHOP will celebrate National Pancake Day with a free stack of buttermilk pancakes on February 5.
January 3, 2013 January is certainly acting like January in Central New York, and with the extreme cold temperatures, we would like to share some thoughts on cold weather hypothermia. Many of you work outside or enjoy outdoor winter sports and recreation, so it's important not to get over exposed in the cold.
December 21, 2012 Winter is officially here. The Winter Soltice took place today at 6:21 a.m.. According to "The Old Farmer's Almanac", this is the earliest that winter has arrived since 1896. It's also the shortest day of the year with only nine hours and four minutes of daylight. Last winter wasn't much of a winter, and we'll see what the 2012-13 winter season will bring.
November 27, 2012 I was out running errands on "Black Friday" and personally saw two fender bender accidents. And that was when the weather was good! Now that the snow has started to fly it's time to brush up on our winter driving skills. Here are some helpful winter driving tips.
February 10, 2012 My thanks to my honorable colleagues here at Big Frog 104. Yesterday, I misplaced a pair of winter gloves and went crazy looking all over the building for them. And no, I'm not one of those people who says "Who took my gloves?", as I know no one took them, I lost them. But now they're found.
January 19, 2012 Who says there's nothing to do in winter? There's plenty of hockey action, outside in the Adirondacks, with the return of the Adirondack Ice Bowl to Inlet.
January 18, 2012 When the holidays are over, temperatures drop, the snow falls, and there isn't enough daylight, the winter blahs can set in. We at Big Frog 104 will do what we can to chase those blahs away.
