Egan Paving: Embracing Spring’s Momentum

Just a couple of days have passed since our paving season officially began, and we’re already feeling the energy coursing through the region. Spring has finally pushed aside the cold, giving us the perfect weather to roll out our equipment and spruce up driveways and parking lots across Colonie, Albany, Troy, Latham, and Clifton Park.

A Community on the Move
One of the best parts about working in these areas is seeing all the new developments and improvements popping up every year. We’ve noticed local businesses gearing up for warmer weather, and homeowners taking pride in their outdoor spaces—patching up gardens, freshening up porches, and now, renewing surfaces with a smooth, long-lasting pave. It’s a season of change and optimism, and we’re happy to play a part in it.

Outlook for the Months Ahead
As the days grow longer, we’re excited to see what the next few months bring. Sunny days will mean more opportunities for families to enjoy their yards, kids playing in neighborhood driveways, and local businesses hosting outdoor gatherings. A well-paved surface makes these moments safer and more comfortable—no more dodging potholes or uneven edges. We’re looking forward to continuing our work throughout spring and into summer, helping create a solid foundation for whatever your plans might be.

Celebrating Every Project
Nothing compares to the satisfaction of finishing a project and stepping back to admire the clean, precise lines of a freshly laid driveway or parking lot. With every new job, we meet people who are proud of their community and eager to invest in making their corner of it look its best. That sense of togetherness, of working alongside neighbors and fellow business owners, is what keeps us passionate about paving.

A Gentle Reminder
Although we’re already booking projects into the coming weeks, there’s still time to secure our April offer of $300 off on new paving work. We don’t want you to miss out if you’ve been waiting for the right moment—now is the perfect season to roll out your improvement plans. Whatever you decide, we’ll be here, ready to help you keep your property in top shape and keep the community looking its finest.

Here’s to a Bright and Busy Spring
From Colonie to Clifton Park, our team is eager to make each driveway or parking lot a reflection of our commitment to quality. Whether it’s a small residential fix or a full-scale commercial project, every job matters to us. Thank you for your continued support, and here’s to a spring and summer filled with smooth surfaces, friendly faces, and vibrant local happenings for all.

Is Spring Really Here, or Is Mother Nature Still Hiding Snow Up Her Sleeve?

Is it time to pack away the snow shovel for good, or is winter planning one last hurrah? If you’ve lived in the Capital Region long enough, you know spring can be unpredictable.

By Egan Paving – Serving Albany, Colonie, and the Capital Region

It’s that time of year again in Albany and Colonie: the sun finally peeks out, temperatures begin to rise, and we’re all itching to get outside. Is it time to pack away the snow shovel for good, or is winter planning one last hurrah? If you’ve lived in the Capital Region long enough, you know spring can be unpredictable. While many of us are ready to dust off our grills and schedule our paving projects, the question looms: Could a late-season snowstorm still be in the cards?

A Look Back at Late-Season Snowstorms

It might sound far-fetched when the sun is shining and we’re enjoying milder days, but history tells us not to discount the possibility of April or even May snow. According to the National Weather Service Albany Historical Data, we’ve seen some notable late-in-the-year storms:

April 6, 1982 – A heavy snowstorm brought more than a foot of snow to parts of the Capital Region, closing schools and reminding us that winter might not end on the calendar’s schedule.
April Snow in the 2000s – In years like 2000, 2002, and 2007, April flurries—sometimes significant—served as a stark reminder that spring’s arrival is often a work in progress.
May 9, 1977 – This often pops up in local trivia quizzes; though accumulation was modest, it underscored how fickle Upstate New York weather can be.

A More Recent Surprise: May 2020

For a more contemporary example, look no further than May 9, 2020, when a cold air mass dipped into the Northeast and produced a brief, late-season snowfall in parts of Upstate New York. While it wasn’t a colossal storm by any stretch, it was enough to set social media abuzz and remind residents that spring weather can switch back to winter on a moment’s notice.

If you’re curious to see how local news outlets covered these late spring snowfalls, check out the archives on Times Union or watch for weather updates on WNYT NewsChannel 13. They’re reliable resources for tracking potential storms and historical weather patterns in our region.

Why Do Late Storms Happen?

Multiple factors can contribute to these out-of-season snow events:

El Niño and La Niña – These global climate patterns can push extra moisture or unseasonably cool air into the Northeast, setting the stage for a surprise snowstorm. (Learn more at NOAA’s climate page).
Atlantic Ocean Temperatures – Fluctuating ocean temps can alter storm tracks, with nor’easters occasionally retaining enough cold air to bring snow instead of rain.
Unusual Jet Stream Patterns – A southward dip in the jet stream can merge cold Canadian air with moisture from the Atlantic, creating a perfect recipe for a late-season storm.

Embracing Spring in the Capital Region

When spring finally does settle in for good, there’s no shortage of activities to enjoy around Albany and Colonie:

Tulip Festival in Washington Park – Typically held in May, Albany’s Tulip Festival is a beloved local tradition celebrating the city’s Dutch heritage. Let’s hope Mother Nature doesn’t decide to drop another late-season snow!
Colonie Farmers’ Market at The Crossings – Come warmer weather, locals flock to The Crossings of Colonie for fresh produce, baked goods, and artisanal products. It’s an ideal spot for a springtime stroll.
Hiking and Picnics – With so many scenic parks like Thatcher Park, Five Rivers Environmental Education Center, and the Pine Bush Preserve, you’ll never run out of spots to enjoy the outdoors—once the snow stays away.

Is Spring Here to Stay?

That’s the million-dollar question. Most years, once we move into late March or early April, the odds of significant snowfall drop dramatically—but they never hit zero. Warm days may lull us into a false sense of security, only to see an abrupt cold snap a week later. While extended forecasts might promise milder conditions, it’s wise to keep a watchful eye on local weather reports well into April—and, as May 2020 proved, sometimes even beyond.

Don’t Let the Weather Delay Your Paving Projects

Whether spring is truly here for good or we see one last snowy encore, early spring is still an excellent time to think about repairing or installing pavement. Egan Paving is proud to serve Albany, Colonie, and the broader Capital Region. Even if the weather is unpredictable, we’re here to help you:
