BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – News 34 is feeling mixed emotions, sending off one of its own to new heights.
Roy Santa Croce, who has been with News 34 since 2022 as a reporter and anchor, has informed the Greater Binghamton community with grace and a friendly smile. His hard work and dedication to documenting news around the community have left the staff of News 34 with memories that will last a lifetime.
Roy, also known to his peers as 'RJ,' came to News 34 as a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed recent graduate of SUNY Oswego, starting his journey in journalism. Roy will be moving on to our sister station in Burlington, VT, at ABC22/FOX44 WFFF/WVNY.
We wish Roy all the best in his next adventure, and we will miss him dearly.

Oswego Chasers prepare to hunt storms in Tornado Alley

OSWEGO, N.Y. (WSYR) — SUNY Oswego's storm-chasing student team, the 'Oswego Chasers,' is hitting the road again on Tuesday, May 27. Dr. Scott Steiger, professor of meteorology and Director of LESPaRC, spent Memorial Day preparing his class and visiting students from states in the northeast for the annual summer expedition in the Great Plains. Students were testing instruments, such as a Radiosonde weather balloon, that would be vital to their research in the field. Dr. Steiger told his team the tool measures moisture, temperature, and wind at least 10 miles above the surface. Students from as far as Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, along with Oswego-based students, will be split into three teams to focus on forecasting, equipment care, and logistics. Because their focus is on forecasting daily, each team observes, takes measurements, and compares their data from earlier in the day with the data at the end. 'That really can help to determine whether or not we're in a good place to…where thunderstorms may develop,' Dr. Steiger said. Dr. Steiger has been preparing his band of misfit meteorologists all semester long to take on 'Tornado Alley' for two weeks, a tradition he has loved since 2007. 'One day we'll be in Texas,' he said. 'Two days later, we could be in Montana.' David Rienza, a SUNY Oswego 2024-25 graduate, said he has always been fascinated by storms in New York State but is ready to observe them on a larger scale. 'We get severe thunderstorms, but they're nothing compared to, you know, how severe…just how massive they are out in the Plains,' Rienza said. During the instrument demonstration, the professor's team agreed they were ready to put their skills and tools to the test. 'We can actually plot it ourselves,' Kaitlin Farrell, a senior, said. 'We get to collect that data that we, normally, are kind of given…with these instruments, we can actually see how this stuff works!' Senior Jason Ruiz, an avid astronomy enthusiast, cannot wait to apply his knowledge of Earth and space science while studying the skies. 'It brings excitement to me…knowing that what I'm looking at on the screen is actually happening, like, in large scale around me,' Ruiz said. As Dr. Steiger prepares to pack the vagabond fleet of vans in the morning, he said he never ceases to look forward to his favorite part of any trip. 'When we're out watching a storm…I have my iPad, and we're looking at the radar imagery of the storm, and they're comparing what they're visually seeing to what they see on the radar screen and you can just see when they make that connection in their eyes,' he said. The Oswego Chases depart at 7 a.m. and hope to be storm-chasing in Western Oklahoma by Wednesday evening. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Green Mountain State Forest camping opens this weekend

MENDON, Vt. (ABC22/FOX44) – Vermont's only national forest welcomes campers starting this Friday and into the long holiday weekend. The Green Mountain National Forest announced that its many camp sites, which range from remote hike-in backcountry campgrounds to sites that are easily accessed by car, will be ready for the 2025 summer season starting May 23. The weather forecast has temperatures at the popular Moosalamoo Campground in the upper 40s Friday and Saturday with likely rain showers, but things should warm up and clear out Sunday and especially Memorial Day. Cool, cloudy weather continues Wednesday Forest Service officials call special attention to the lack of potable water at Moosalamoo Campground, expected to last through the summer, and summer closures planned for the Texas Falls Observation Site and Picnic Area. Other construction projects will impact parking and facilities at different campgrounds, but prospective campers should consult the alerts page on the forest service website for up-to-date information. The 408,419-acre Green Mountain State Forest was established in 1932 to try to protect some of Vermont's woodlands from logging, flooding, and wildfires. It is one of only two national forests in New England, with the other being the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire and Maine. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
