Friday night (3/22/2013) Twitter was lit up with reports of a meteor in the sky above Albany - and this morning (3/23)several meteorological societies and groups are confirming in fact that a meteor did pass through the sky, likely traveling southwest from Massachusetts over Albany, and toward Maryland and points south. There were even reports from Florida and Canada! Check out some videos captured on a dashcam!

The Capital Region is looking at a big, messy snow storm on Friday. The heaviest stuff is expected to hit sometime during the afternoon and continue throughout the evening, possibly until Saturday morning. The area could get buried with about 9 inches of snow.
