With a more than 40 degree swing in our area weather -- between now and Saturday -- it’s shaping up to being another wacky winter. Just when we’ve almost finished complaining about the bitter cold and icy driveways, we are learning that it’s gonna rain all weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

And that forecast has already cancelled an event this Saturday. The Schroon-North Hudson Snowmobile Club has called off their Moonlight ride to Drakes Pond, where they were to have had a fire and hotdogs and marshmallows for kids.

Snow: It's Comin' (Finally)
