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.
