Adams — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 15:59:57 +0000

The raw power of Mother Nature can be so damn dangerous, sometimes unexpected and completely out of our control. Even with the technology we have predicting her fury can sometimes leave us with minutes to act. Unfortunately for some, there is zero time for preparation. Case in point: So, this trucker is riding down the [...]

Adams — Tue, 28 May 2013 21:12:19 +0000

The unofficial start to Summer wasn't exactly that, was it? Essentially, in the Albany Area, it rained all weekend with the beauty of sun and warm temps setting in on Monday. Of course, that was the last day of our holiday weekend, so yeah- Last weekend was a bust. Let me just say, it could have been a heck of a lot worse.

Heavy Rains And Flooding Hammer The Albany Area [PICS]

Adams — Wed, 22 May 2013 22:36:23 +0000

Say what you want but the torrential rains we received earlier today (Wednesday) were sick. With a friend sending me crazy pics from Scotia and my own personal pics while I was retrieving a friend at the train in Schenectady, I felt like I needed to show you exactly what happens when it downpours for about 30 minutes.

Weather Is Nice, Watch Out For Bikes [VIDEO]

Adams — Mon, 06 May 2013 16:18:02 +0000

And this is the reason why I constantly say no to getting a bike. While it seems like it would be a blast to go for a cruise around the area it's everyone else that makes me nervous. How many times have you gone to pull out of an intersection and out of no where, a bike appears? I would consider myself to be an alert driver, but it's happened to me more than once.

Lovely weather out there, ehh? Tomorrow is officially Spring and Mother Nature can’t help but remind us that Winter is still in full effect. Depressing right?

Snow Headed To The Albany Area

Adams — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 16:41:37 +0000

Just when you thought Oldman Winter had packed up and decided to take shelter for the next few months, think again. Mother Nature has us in her cross hairs and she’s ready to pull the trigger. I’m not gonna get into weather models or time of arrival predictions. I’m not. But I will say this: [...]

Winter Storm Nemo Slams The Albany Area, Not Really [VIDEO]

Adams — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 23:55:14 +0000

Yes friends, the stage was set for a multi-storm throw down right over our heads. Mwuahahaha! With schools, after work church dinners and even driving lesson [...]

Albany School Closings and Weather Information

Bryen — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 03:23:32 +0000

Have you heard we're getting a storm? We haven't had much winter in the past two years so any storm delivering any amount of snowfall gets people all excited. We're expecting a pretty big storm though and many schools decided to close ahead of the storm. Our list of closings is continually updated as is our real time weather.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

Adams — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 18:23:44 +0000

Seriously though, you ready for some serious snow? I was just chatting with a buddy yesterday about the white stuff. Our general consensus? Why haven't we seen a snow storm that drops 2 inches an hour, like back in the old days? You know what I'm saying right? Like, the kind of snow plows can't keep up on? That's what I long for when it comes to winter and snow. Let's roll out the prediction.

Hey Weather Channel: Stop Naming Winter Storms – It's Stupid

Bryen — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 15:36:37 +0000

Using the word stupid isn’t always polite and should be reserved for special occasions and The Weather Channel trying to name winter storms is a perfect example of when to use the word stupid. I understand why they’re doing it – it’s a gimmick to get people to tune in to their cable channel and check out their web [...]

Will Winter Storm Nemo Find His Way To The Albany Area?

Adams — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 19:02:07 +0000

Insert Finding Nemo jokes (here). All kidding aside, two snow storms could come-a- barreling on in Friday morning, which could net us up to a foot and a half of snow. That, of course, depends on who you’re getting your weather info from. Personally, I stick with Channel 10- I’m local all day. Here’s what [...]

Homeless Man Breaks Windows To Stay Warm

With temps barely reaching 20 degrees over the last few days, which will likely carry into the weekend, we can all agree that it's- burr chilly cold chilly burr cold burr- out there, no? For me, I appreciate the fact that I have a few blankets and a warm place to rest my head. For others, staying warm means committing a crime.

Cold Weather Headed To The Albany Area

Adams — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 00:00:35 +0000

With temps only reaching into the teens for the rest of the week, it's essential that one bundles up, right? Hat, gloves and multiple layers will assure warmth as a blast of 'winter' hits the Albany area. BTW, while we're used to 'cold' temps, how long has it been since we've seen the frigid temps we're about to see? It's been awhile right? Imagine being stuck outside in it? Burrrrr.....
