Schroon’s Spring Snow Event? What’s Your Prediction?

A reader alerted us to this just a moment ago: “11 inches of snow at Gore on Friday?”

Whoa – that sent us scrambling to the National Weather Service website where we learned there is snow coming our way, but not anywhere near 11 inches. But it’s only Wednesday and this is the Adirondacks.

But according to this google search, there is 11 inches in the forecast:

So here in Schroon  we will be seeing the white stuff start to fall Thursday night into Friday and through to Sunday.

I can hear both groans of despair, and joy (from skiers and snow plowers). What’s your best guess?

Coming Out To Help a Local

Folks are encouraged to come out and support Todd Bessey, son of Remy and Kim Bessey. Todd is in stage 4 renal failure and has to have daily dialysis as he and his family anxiously wait for a kidney transplant. Save the date: Saturday, April 29 -- at the Horicon Town Hall on State Route 8 in Brant Lake -- for a benefit spaghetti dinner and silent auction. The event runs from 1 pm to 5 pm. We wish Todd and his family all the best.
