Big Snow For the Adirondacks and Schroon: Bring It!

I think it’s fair to say winter is a season with pro "Bring It" and con "Where's Spring?" fans. Those on the “Bring It” side would be winter sports and outdoor cold activity lovers, those who don’t have to (or don’t mind) shoveling their driveways, those who get excited by forecasts, like the one heading our way. The one with an eight to 12 inch dump starting early Wednesday. No prizes for guessing where I stand.

Moreover, those fans are looking forward to fresh powder to ski, fresh tracks to make cross-country skiing and snow shoeing, and those looking forward to this Saturday’s Annual Poker Run. And for the latest, we turn to Schroon’s Most Trusted Weatherman, Tony Tenda and his companion Tony's Schroon Lake Weather Page 

From Tony: “I've always believed we here in the Adirondacks get our snow in clusters over a couple week period. This week I feel we are now into one of those spells. Heavy snow starts in the morning Wed. ends later Wed evening. 8-12" looks to be a good bet right now. If we had some downstream atmospheric blocking this would be a 18-24" type storm, but it's just not there”.

And below is  an early look-see at the three day Presidents weekend.

One of Schroon’s empty storefronts has a new tenant: David Mastrianni, an oncologist from Saratoga, who is running as one of nine Democrats for the 21st Congressional District.

Those Dems will duke it out to see who gets to take on Republican incumbent Elise Stefanik in November.

Mastrianni, a long time second homeowner in Schroon Lake, is the senior vice president of the Saratoga Hospital Medical Group.

His campaign headquarters are across from Stewarts. In a statement, Mastrianni cited health care, agriculture, infrastructure, education and the environment as leading campaign issues.

“At times, our federal government does not acknowledge the issues of rural or small-town areas such as our district, resulting in its failure to meet its responsibilities to our region,” Mastrianni said in a statement.

“Many federal policies favor large corporations and other interests over our people and our communities.”
