A potentially dangerous storm that could dump between 8 and 16 inches on Schroon is expected to arrive here on Monday night and go through to Wednesday. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for northern New York. From The National Weather Service:

The storm is a result of two storms which will bring blizzard conditions to parts of the Northern Plains and a wintry mix of precipitation into the Mid-Atlantic Sunday night through Monday. As one storm reaches the Atlantic, heavy snow is possible over upstate New York and parts of New England Monday night into Tuesday.

More from The National Weather Service after the jump:

A little leprechaun tells us that if you are in the mood for some classic Irish music, to cap off the St. Paddy's day weekend, then two locals will be doing an impromptu concert tonight at Flanagan's Pub!

The concert is being organized by Schroon's own leprechaun, who lives at the top of Severance Mountain. You can read about the legend of Schroon's leprechaun here.

The sight of a sail boat tipped over on its side on frozen Schroon Lake has caught the eye of many this weekend, and left us all scratching our heads. The boat is about 500 yards south of the Town Dock. So how did the boat get there and what's its future?

By no means are we experts in "beached boats", but we are going out on a mast here and suggesting the vessel is one of those fast, racing boats, that skim across the ice, with a good wind in its sails. That assumption is based on a story we did last year on ice boat racing. In that report, reader and boater Bill Bernhard gave us a terrific history of ice boat racing:

They had their origin in the early 1900's as a working class boat for Bay Men on the Great South Bay of Long Island NY. What makes them unique compared to a typical Ice Boat is that they have no tiller or rudder. They are steered by trimming the Jib and Mainsail along with shifting the weight of the crew.

It's going to be an all day and night party at many of Schroon's fine eating establishments this weekend.

Flanagan's Pub, with their brand spanking new sign, is celebrating both days with lunch and dinner Specials, They'll have Smithwick's, Guiness, Tullamore Dew or Jameson  -- all at special pricing.

The sign is the handy work of Dawn Brazee, owner of Creative DeSIGNS & Concepts. She won an industry award for the “Best Engineered Sign, sponsored by Coastal Enterprises.

Flanagan's will also have prizes and party favors on Sunday.
