If you’re looking for snow in northern New York right now, the Tug Hill Plateau is the place to be. Check out beautiful Rainbow Falls and Inman Gulf. You can snowshoe in deep snow along the rim of this deep chasm. Super cool trail www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/5...

🧊 Expect wet and wintery conditions in the ADKs this weekend. Most trails above about 3,500 ft are covered in ice.
❄️ If you are headed to summits use traction devices and carry snowshoes, as some higher elevation areas could see up to a foot of snow.
