It's Garbage Day!

18.1 degrees; no precipitation right now.

WKTV's forecast: "Starting out in the single digits and teens this morning. A stiff east wind will keep wind chills in the single digits for most of the morning, before clouds and warmer air move into the region. An area of snow showers in Western New York will arrive later this morning. Occasional light snow showers will fall from the late morning through the early afternoon. Accumulations are expected to be a coating to 2" regionwide before lake effect beings late in the day. Temperatures will rise a generous 15-20 degrees by this afternoon, with highs near 30.
Lake effect will develop along the Tug Hill this evening. Additional accumulations of 4"-8" along the Tug Hill is expected tonight, with 3"-6" in Northwestern Oneida/southern Lewis. The lake band is expected to shift south tonight, giving most locations 1"-3" of new snow tonight.

It was a bright, sunny day, yesterday, but COLD, and
Main Street was deserted except for a fellow snowblowing in front of SouthGate Ministries.



There had been some snowmobile activity in Hanover .......



.......... and on the trail next to Osborn Avenue.


Two vehicles were parked next to Bailey Lake, where their owners were fishing.

It was a good day for looking at shadows

- an ancient maple at the corner of Peck and Shanley Roads -



and a mini "snow fence" of corn stubble on Fuess-Cleary Road.


Afternoon sunset from Lewis Road.



Main Street a little after 4 in the afternoon:

"Closed for the Night - Open Tomorrow Morning!"
