Relax... it's the weekend.

Snow blowers, shovels, plows, sand, salt, soup, warm socks and lots and lots of hot chocolate.

And by the AOA advertisers listed below. They help us get through the winter -- and the rest of the year, so we can be here when you need your Capital Region information fix.

If you have something you'd like to advertise on AOA, let us know. Here's how it works.
