suns along the Mohawk

. . Mama G. always wanted to fix that errant “O”. .

The Capital District’s popular and much-admired meteoroligist Steve Caporizzo of News10ABC announced earlier this year that he will be “100% retired from TV weather” on June 30, 2025, after 42 years on the job. Steve said he has been living his weather reporting dream and still loves the job every day. At 64 years old, however, Steve wants to devote more time to his two other loves, his wife Lisa and the furry friends they help through his Pet Connection. Just in case moist eyes make it too difficult to type my thanks and praise for Steve at the end of June, I want to highlight at this time the wonderful connection he has made with this website and its photographer.

This gallery shows a few of the Stockade images Steve has shared with his TV and Facebook fans, helping to show our unique historic district neighborhood along the Mohawk.

Last month, an email inquiry from Steve motivated me to head out into the cold and windy weather along the Mohawk to monitor the potential ice jams forming on the River. I did some mumbling to myself often along Riverside Park, as I grabbed onto anything available to prevent being blown into-onto the Mohawk Here are two shots I would have missed on March 7 and 8 without Steve’s inspiration getting me off my couch.

I had more fun than agita whenever my last name came out “Giacolone” instead of Giacalone (sometimes both ways on the same broadcast!). See the image at the top of this post. I would threaten to get my Mama G. after Steve for his typos. But, I confess that I have checked my spelling of Caporizzo many times to make sure my paisan’s name had the correct number of Ps, Rs and Zs.

……………….. RETIREMENT PARTY UPDATE (June 27, 2025): “Cap” just posted at his Facebook Page his reaction to the Retirement Party ABC News Channel 10 threw for him last night: “It was absolutely beautiful. My eyes were watering up, being with friends and family and so many well wishes. It meant the world to me. I have been so lucky in my career in so many ways.”

Grazie di Tutto, Steve Caporizzo, for all you do and have done. Very best wishes to you, Lisa, and your fur family.
