Skaneateles, N.Y. — It may seem tough to believe, but ice cream season is rapidly approaching.

The latest sign? The Skan-Ellus Drive-In opens for the season Thursday, March 20. The shop is at the corner of Routes 20 and 175 in Skaneateles.

This will be Skan-Ellus' 46th season. The menu includes soft and hard ice cream, yogurts, burgers, hot dogs, fresh fish and more.

Elsewhere on the frozen dessert scene, Gannon's Isle ice cream shop in Syracuse's Valley section opened earlier this month. Sno Top in Manlius opened Saturday.
