The first Lake Effect snowstorm of the season was a big one, at least for some. Mother Nature brought anywhere from a dusting to several feet in Central New York.
Winters in Central New York are cold, snowy, and often seem to never end, dragging into April. You can bury yourself under blankets and hibernate inside for several months or you can take advantage of everything the Empire state has to offer in the winter months.
It seems like most of the country, even Florida, has gotten snow. But Mother Nature somehow forgot about Central New York, where grass can still be seen. Someone must have reminded her because here it comes. Lake effect snow, sleet, and freezing rain are all expected this weekend.
Police are investigating many weather-related crashes on the Thruway in Westchester and Rockland Counties after freezing rain made roads treacherous on Jan. 5, 2022.
It is officially winter in New York, and the temperatures are beginning to reflect that, which means anglers are preparing their first few trips to the ice for the ice fishing season.
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.
