Try to stay warm during the shortest but most depressing month of the year. Step 3: March. If were lucky, the snow will begin to melt away in the lower elevations. Step 4: April. Come to the realization that even in late April, the Adirondacks can still have a lot of snow and ice. Step 5: May. Happy May! Happy Black Fly Season! And finally some green when your not being eaten alive. Step 6: June. And finally June will roll around, the blackflies will be gone. We will be able to enjoy the summer time once again.
