Weather is complex, and often, a simple graphic does not tell the whole story.
That is why Finger Lakes Weather meteorologist Drew Montreuil blogs frequently.
From detailed forecast discussions and recapping recent weather events, to looking beyond our region at what the weather is doing elsewhere, to teaching about the weather in an easy to understand format, Finger Lakes Weather offers four different blogs.
