We get to enjoy one more hour of daylight starting tonight!  Spring is around the corner and I am so ready for it!

The temperatures will be approaching 60 this week.  I have a feeling that many of the spring through fall seasonal businesses in the Lake George region will be ahead of schedule for opening day this year.  It doesn't look like we're going to have to wait for piles of snow to melt.

Enjoy the daylight, enjoy the warming temperatures, and remember, It's Always Time to Visit Lake George!

 

Every year, I look forward to that Special Sunday when we SPRING ahead and move the clocks forward one hour.  That special Sunday is March 11th this year - we'll give up one hour of sleep for an additional hour of daylight!

Enjoy Full Moon Tubing and Pizza after 5pm at Gore Mountain on Friday March 9th - for more info, please visit http://www.lakegeorge.com/business/gore-mountain-ski-resort-814/website/.  Winter fun continues into Spring when you're in the Lake George Region!

March is maple sugaring time - head on up to Up Yonda Farm in Bolton Landing - they'll take you through all the steps from sap to syrup.  Make plans to join Up Yonda on Sunday from 9am to 2pm for the Pancake Breakfast and Maple Festival - $7.00 per person.  For more information and reservation forms, please visit upyondafarm.com

The Seasons are a changing - It's Time to Visit Lake George!  We'll see you soon!

Snow will begin falling in the early afternoon tomorrow, and continue through Thursday afternoon.  When all is said and done, we should have between 5 and 12 inches of heavy snow.  This is great news for the snow lovers and winter sports enthusiasts.  You've waited all year for this and now it is finally here!  Bring your sleds, skis, and snowmobiles - It's Time to Visit Lake George!

I made sure that the snow blower has plenty of gas to do the job of clearing my driveway and walkways. 

If not for this being a leap year, February 2012 would have gone down in history as the least snowy of all Februaries on record!  We will just have to wait and see where we score in the record books. Look for pictures of the snow on Thursday!
