The only possible answer
The question was why WNYT RF 18 only comes in strong here in the rain and snow (and now add heavy fog to the conditions where the signal is UP)
It has come to my attention that WMFP RF 18 in Boston (Lawrence), Ma. is running 1000 Kw of power and their directional antennas have a strong lobe in my direction. Being WNYT RF 18 is on the fringe here with their 15 KW, even a slight atmospheric enhancement allows WMFP to interfere with WNYT RF 18. Pointing the antennas at Boston last nite showed strong broken activity on the signal strength meter in that direction, as there was an obvious enhancement of SS on the other Albany, N.Y. stations. At that time, WNYT RF 18 was unreceivable.
The rain and snow (and now fog) apparently act as a blocking agent, reducing the WMFP signal enough to allow WNYT RF 18 to be received at 45-47%. This morning, as the heavy rain moves east, the WNYT RF 18 signal is, as expected, 45-47% SS.
