This weekend in the Adirondacks

After reaching into the 60s in parts of the Adirondacks yesterday, cold temperatures are going to return, which could mean a flash freeze and a bit of snow at higher elevations early Saturday and perhaps some crustier conditions, and no doubt a good deal of ice on trails this weekend.

The warm-up and rain expected this weekend will kick off the maple-sugaring season and be a reminder to our winter sports enthusiasts to get out there while you can - it’s not here yet, but the end is in sight.

It’s shaping up to be a nice weekend, weather-wise, with the whole Adirondacks seeing least a little fresh snow over the next couple days, after getting as much as a foot over this past week.

Temperatures have warmed some, but so long as we remain on the cold side of a front coming through Saturday, we should see some considerable snow this weekend, especially in Western Essex County, including the High Peaks and Lake Placid region. It’s a challenging forecast, so watch the weather closely this weekend.
