Share Your Weather Photos
The Finger Lakes is a region of stunning beauty. The lakes, hills, forests, vineyards, and waterfalls that make our area special are only accentuated by the day-to-day weather. If you have captured a scenic view and want to share it for use with Finger Lakes Weather, you can now submit photographs directly through the website!
Photo Requirements
