With a growing Bomb Cyclone bringing blizzards and arctic air to most of the United State this week, Upstate New York's chances of a white Christmas hinge on what happens Friday.
Average winters, we see so much snow, and usually, by now, we would have had several inches. Remember last year, 22 inches of snow in the first week of December.
A Winter Weather Advisory is officially in effect for the Capital Region and northern areas can expect a good-sized snowfall for our first plowable snow of the season.
Well, if you thought the snow in 2020 was impressive, just wait until the snow starts piling up this year. Early forecasters are predicting a REALLY snowy winter will have a lot of lake effect snow.
I know we have been experiencing a heatwave and not thinking of winter in the Capital Region. But if I could find a way to scrape together hundreds of thousands of dollars, I would buy this new snowplow that the Albany Airport has just bought. It removes snow in seconds and it throws snow hundreds of feet.
