Tug Hill

So Peter Harris and his family owned Snow Ridge nearby.

It's up on the Tug Hill Plateau for 33 years.

They sold that ski area around 2016 to Nick Murr and his mother, who now run the ski area.

But Peter Harris had owned Song since 2000, a great little ski area, and Labrador since 2014.

And if you have a chance to look up, the moon is a waxing crescent at 31% of full.

And last check, it was 54 degrees in Tupper Lake and in Lake Placid too, 45 degrees in Messina and in Malone, 54 in Glens Falls right now, and 51 degrees in Old Forge and the beautiful Tug Hill.

Rain showers and wind is coming your way today.

There's a strong storm system moving across the region, bringing widespread rain and gusty winds today, followed by much colder weather and some mountain snow showers expected tomorrow.

Yep, the homeless.

Uh, when are we getting our first snow? There's those scare things about this weekend, but I think, uh, if there is snow, according to what I've read, it'd be up more towards Tug Hill area.

Um, there was a thing I saw online that said, "In Syracuse, the first snow on average is November 6th.

The earliest is October 2nd, the latest December 11th." Ours might be a hair earlier, but I'd look for the first snow probably around November 1st then.

Here we are in the show of shows today.

You know, I was saying, um, possible first snows.

Uh, it could be, there could be something measurable by the weekend, but only up in the Tug Hill area.

Yeah.

And for those of you that know anything about river systems, that means it's controlled by a dam.

And the Tug Hill Plateau is a water supply for the Salmon River, as we've talked about in prior episodes.

So they had an incredible winter.

I'm an avid snowmobiler.

Where do you live? Where is this restaurant?

We're, uh, it's, uh, it's, we're in the southern end of the Tug Hill Plateau in way, way upstate New York.

So we're in the middle of, uh, snow country.

Yeah.

It's really, really nice to go to a meet like that and meet new people from different places.

And they're like, hey, where are you? I was like, oh, you know, up on Tug Hill.

That's why my plate's Tug Hill.

Oh, yeah? Where's that? I was like, yeah, don't worry about it.

Where are you? And he goes, over in New Jersey.
