Sunday, April 14, 2013 at 12:56PM If Spring ever decides to get its act together, there will eventually be warm, sunny days with blue skies, just like over the 2012 Schroon Opening Weekend. Here to get us all in the mood for Summer, and the opening weekend, is a slide show of what we saw around Town that splendid weekend. What was your favorite memory of that weekend? Tell us in comments.
Wednesday, April 11, 2012 at 10:58AM The boats and kayaks are out. The buds are popping. Docks are being installed. The grass on the lawn of the beach is getting greener by the day. Folks are Spring Cleaning. So tell us what's your favorite part of Spring in Schroon? And while we've got you thinking, we'd like to make this our first ever open thread -- wanna talk about something? Start the chat going in comments!

While we’ve spotted a few boats zipping up and down the lake this weekend, we are pretty sure we were among the first – if not the very first – to put in our kayaks Friday and take advantage of the warm sun kissed afternoon.
We put in just south of Witherbee’s and paddled across to a sandy beach on the east side of the lake, enjoyed a few moments improving our tans, before heading back. The wind made our return a slightly choppy ride. And if your venturing out so early in the season, make sure you are wearing a life preserver, ABC "Anything But Cotton" and be extremely mindful of just how cold the water temperature is.
If you don't, the consequences can be deadly, warns John Warren, of the Adirondack Almanack
And finally this week, a reminder that everyone in boats under 21 feet in length, regardless of age, are required by state law to wear a personal flotation device through May 1st. While daytime temperatures may reach into the 50s, waters temperatures remain in the mid to lower 30s and the danger of hypothermia and drowning from falling into cold water is elevated.
