I don't live in Albany, I'm about an hour's drive southwest and at an
elevation more than 2,000 feet higher. Albany is right at the
junction of the Hudson and Mohawk rivers, close to sea level. We only
a short while ago went through how elevation and mountain side shadows
affect temperatures... the north face of mountains can be 20ºF colder
than the south face. I'm not far from Windham Mountain, it's
typically 15ºF colder yet on that mountain at the ski lodge than where
I am... this is their worst year for skiing in a long time, no snow
here yet and days are warm enough to melt their blown snow.
