A big snowstorm in March can lead to 15 minutes of fame for small upstate New York cities like Binghamton.

How often has the weatherman been wrong about the Binghamton winter weather? Maybe we need to turn to our feathered friends for the answer.

We are talking about the Southern Tier of New York State and Northeast Pennsylvania where the weather conditions can change in an instant.

When I was growing up I suffered from sniffles, scratchy eyes, sneezing, and congestion while trying to concentrate in school. That was a challenge.

The National Weather Service in Binghamton says a Winter Storm Watch is in effect from 1 a.m. February 3 to 3 p.m. February 4 for the Southern Tier.
