Thursday




It's Garbage Day!

38.8 degrees and drippy.




From WKTV: "An occluded front will bring rain into the region this morning. Winds will really pick up as this front passes through, as a storm system passing close by intensifies. Winds are expected to become sustained between 20-30mph this afternoon, with gusts in excess of 50mph. A high wind warning is in effect for Oneida and Madison County, with wind advisories in effect for the rest of Central New York. Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel and keep an eye out for debris on the roadway. Also, with winds this strong, isolated power outages may occur, so you're going to want to be prepared.
After a brief break this morning, more rain will move into the region, as an upper-level area of low pressure crosses the region. As colder air wraps in on the backside of this storm system, it will change rain over to snow as we head through this afternoon and tonight. The first areas to see this transition will be the higher hilltops across the region, and those places will change over by 2PM. Rain will change over to snow last in the valleys, and that looks to take place before 5PM. Keep in mind, even when it does start to snow, it will take a long time to pile up on the roadways. Initial accumulations will be on grassy spots. Overnight, snows will wind down, with an additional 1-2" for many spots. When all is said and done, this is how much we expect across the region.

IN THE MAIL

Rosemary Wadas wrote to comment on the photograph of the Route 12B home that's undergoing renovation:

"I remember this home as a kid. It is the old "Donald Hinman farmhouse" where Donnie, Nancy, Sheila and Judy grew up! Sheila was my friend and the home was quite nice back in the 60's. I recall front and back stair cases, hardwood floors and large rooms. I don't know who owns it now, but I'm sure there is a labor of love going into this beautiful home!"

Sue (Abbe) Crosier remembered the Youth Center!

"We worked really hard building that Youth Center. I'm guessing it was about 1970.
Mr. "DZ" was a big influence for us kids to get it going.........we had a storefront somewhere between the Waterville Times and the bank........Sure would love it if anyone had pictures from those days..........."

Volunteers were at work early, yesterday, at the new Habitat for Humanity Home on Gridley-Paige Road.



By 10:30, it was fifty degrees!




You may not think this is exciting, but I do:

it's just plain GRASS!



Most of the ice had melted, and the little waterfall was sounding large!



By mid-afternoon, fog had formed, hanging above the Fuess-Cleary Road fields ........



....... and nearly obscuring the ancient elm tree on Madison Street.



What snow remained became soft, and one ATV rider, crossing the field near the elm, ended up struggling to put the "A" back in "All-terrain."
