NORTH CREEK - The diehards couldn't be kept away. Skiiers and snowboarders  navigated mud and grass during Thursday's closing day at Gore Mountain.

"Just got to watch out for the bare spots and it's still great skiing. It's just a couple weeks too early," said Wally Horst of Skaneateles, while skiing with his 6-year-old son Jack.

Thanks to record high temperatures, there is more brown than white here this spring, which makes it difficult to make any green.

"The bottom line certainly suffered," said Kurt Wisell, assistant general manager of Gore Mountain.

To put things into perspective, March 22 is the earliest Gore Mountain has closed since they started making snow in the early 1980s. They usually stay open well into April.

But it's not usually 80 degrees.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - It finally looks like winter in sections of upstate New York that haven't had much snow this season.

A storm has dumped up to 8 inches in the southern Adirondacks, while parts of the Mohawk and Hudson Valleys have received 4 to 6 Thursday morning, forcing scores of schools to cancel classes or delay their start by two hours.

The National Weather Service says the heaviest snow is in Fulton County on the Adirondack Park's southern border, where 8 inches has fallen, and in areas south of Albany.

Forecasters say the snow will turn to rain Thursday in most areas of eastern New York.

More snow is forecast for Friday in the Adirondacks, where freezing rain is expected to give way to snow showers that could dump 3 to 6 inches.
