I put in the settings for the Point Park image to save so I could use it for a time lapse. But for some reason I didn't work. I'll check the settings on Monday and see why it didn't work. Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

The site I get the snow cover map from wasn't working tonight. So, no snow coverage comparison in tonight's video.
Today's Video............
I was thinking about dropping the trail cam time lapse and putting in one of the other cams during the none snow time of the year. I like show activity and what's going on in the area. What do you think and which one should I add in?

Long range forecast is showing possible snow a week out. At this point all that is going to do is be a pain in the butt and make the heat run. What does look good in the forecast is R days before the weekend. Why is that good? They start running rafting trips on the Moose River and the R keeps the water level up for a good trip. Because there isn't any snow left to melt off to keep the river level up.

There isn't much to talk about today. The sun was out and we had warm temps. So the snow we do still have around is going fast.

I didn't time my ending very good tonight and I cut myself short. No See Ya tonight. Had this link passed on to me and it has some interesting reading in it.

At 2pm there are two sleds sitting on the side of the trail on the trail cam. I'm guessing they'll be the last sled sightings for this season. Because things started melting fast this afternoon with clear skies and warm temps.

The end is coming again because of a lack of snow and the gates will close for the season in 7 days. I thought about waiting till today to get in the last ride of the season. Because the video would have been much nicer with the sun out. But I'm glad I didn't wait, because the sun did a number on the fresh snow today.

I was really hoping for one more ride this season and this round of snow made it possible to get it in. Clipped off 20 miles this afternoon playing around on the local trails.

Saturday morning update. Measurement on deck this morning was 5 inches.
WINTER STORM WARNING NOW IN EFFECT FROM 8 PM THIS EVENING TO 11 PM EDT SATURDAY...
* WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation expected. Total snow accumulations of 8 to 14 inches and ice accumulations of around one tenth of an inch. * WHERE...Northern Herkimer, Hamilton, Northern Warren and Northern Washington Counties. * WHEN...From 8 PM this evening to 11 PM EDT Saturday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult due to snow and ice covered roadways and reduced visibility. The heavy wet snow may lead to some downed tree limbs, resulting in some power outages. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Snowfall rates may approach one inch per hour late tonight into early Saturday.
It's 8:30 pm when I'm making this post and the snow hasn't started yet. I should say we've had snow in the air, but nothing that is going to amount to anything. You'll see in the radar clip that it's been going around us so far.

WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING...
* WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation possible. Total snow and sleet accumulations of 7 or more inches and ice accumulations of a light glaze. * WHERE...Northern Herkimer, Hamilton and Northern Warren Counties. * WHEN...From Friday evening through Saturday evening. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Snow will overspread the region Friday night and may briefly transition to a wintry mix in some areas Saturday morning before changing back to snow Saturday afternoon before ending.
At least for once the storm watch and the regular forecast are predicting around the same amount of snow. Regular forecast is calling for 8 to 13 inches. Let's see how this one turns out. Most times they aren't even close.
Today's Video............
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...
* WHAT...Snow. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches. * WHERE...Northern Herkimer and Hamilton Counties. * WHEN...Until 8 PM EDT Wednesday. * IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. Travel could be very difficult. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Snow will increase tonight with snowfall rates a half an inch to an inch per hour briefly. A lull may occur after day break but scattered heavy snow showers and an isolated snow squall may impact the western Adirondacks in the afternoon with gusty winds and reduced visibilities with additional snow accumulations.
A few people called today wanting to know if the trails will reopen if we get snow.
This is from the towns website about the trails reopening.
We received 3 inches of snow yesterday and last night, which is melting now. Snow forecasted today and tomorrow, with accumulations of 4 to 7 inches. That is being evaluated daily, but probably will not be enough to open the trail system and provide safe riding conditions. Temps in the 40s and rain returns next week.
There is no base, only 2 to 6 inches layer of mud on the trails remains unfrozen.

Is this going to be the forecast that they get correct for the winter. Because we all know the snow totals have not even been close this winter so far. We got the 1 to 2 they called for today and tonight they're saying another 1 to 3. We'll see in the morning if they are correct. By the end of the week we could see just shy of a foot if we get what is predicted.
Today's Video.................
Believe it or not we have snow in the forecast for the next six days and some days with amounts. Will we get it is another story all together. My guess is we'll get it or more. Just because we really can't do much with it at this point besides look at it.
Today's Video................
Starting Sunday night, it looks like we'll be back to winter for a week. With most of the days not even getting above freezing during the day and teens to low teens at night. What the heck let's even through in some snow with it to. March came in like a lamb, will it go out like a lion?
Today's Video..............
I can't say for sure, but it almost looks like the ice is gone on 1st lake. Keep a close eye on the end of McCauley time lapse and see what you think. It's still hanging in there on 4th lake up at Nelsons. A few people have asked me where Nelsons is at. For those of you that don't know, it's to the left of the state boat ramp in Inlet.
Today's Video..............
I have to say I enjoyed the last few days of sun and warmth. By the way the forecast is looking I better keep those thoughts of sun and warmth in my mind. Because it looks like it's going to be a week before we see the sun again.
Today's Video.........
Forecast is predicting starting late Sunday into Monday we'll be back to winter temps and snow. We had a high of 61 today. So when the temps drop back below freezing and snows it really feels extra cold after the temps we had the last few days.
Today's Video................
Just as I thought, the sun cooked off Monday's snow and the only place it's left is in the shade. The lakes didn't open up very much today with the sun and warm temps.
Today's Video..............
The forecast didn't let us down and get it correct this time either. We didn't even get the 7 of the 7 to 14 that was predicted. It's white and looks like winter again at least for a short time. I'm guessing it will be gone in a day or two.
Today's Video............
There was a good turnout for SnoFest even with the lack of snow. It's sad that people couldn't do the demo rides this year. Because that always seems to be a big hit, by the size of the lines to do them. Is this going to be the storm that the forecast is correct and we get the 7 to 14 predicted in the winter storm warning?
Today's video.........
WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON...
* WHAT...Heavy wet snow possible. Total snow accumulations of 7 or more inches possible. Winds could gust as high as 45 mph.
The time for the jumpers has been changed to 2pm on Saturday afternoon. Hoping to beat the R. that is predicted to change over to snow Saturday night.
Today's Video.............
For those of you that may be wondering about SnoFest. It's a go and the 2025 sleds have arrived for you to check out. Also don't forget about the jumpers Saturday afternoon at 3pm.
Today's Video..............
I didn't scan the parking lot this morning and at this point there isn't much to see out there.
Today's Video...............
The 10 day forecast takes us out to the middle of the month. I hate to say it, but there isn't any snow in it to really talk about. I'm not giving up hope just yet for that last ride of the year. But the odds are getting worse by the day.
Today's Video.............
Rafting season starts in four weeks and the thousand-dollar question is. Will there be enough water in the river to have rafting? Because the snowpack will be gone and we'll have to count on R to get the river flowing.
Today's Video...................
How quiet is it? One of the clerks at the post office commented that they have been slow this winter and felt it was because of the lack of snow.
Today's Video...............
It still felt like winter this morning, by afternoon we warmed back up and it felt like spring again. By Saturday afternoon any of the new snow we just got will be gone and we'll be back to the ugly once again.
