Tuesday

*************************

It's 10 degrees and cloudy

Yesterday it snowed.

There were the usual "white-outs." Speed dropped to more like 15 or 20 MPH....



...... and plows were busy........

On Barton Avenue

............ as well as shovels and snowblowers of all shapes and sizes.

On White Street

WKTV's morning forecast sounds better ......

"Good morning Central New York! Slow improvements will be the name of the game today, with morning clouds and snow showers giving way to a bit of sunshine. Bigger improvements as we head into Wednesday, with our next weather makers arriving on Thursday and Friday. Details below...
Lake effect flurries will continue through the late morning for some spots, mainly to the south and west. Additional accumulations are expected to be under an inch. As we head into the afternoon, high pressure will build in and bring with it some cooler, drier air. Sunshine is expected to develop across the region by the afternoon. It will still be a chilly day, with high temperatures only near 20. It will also be a bit breezy today, with winds out of the west around 8-16mph. Wind chills will be in the teens for most of the day.

As we head into the night tonight, skies will turn partly cloudy. Depending on the extent of cloud cover, temperatures will fall anywhere between 0 to +10 degrees, with colder spots going below zero. Winds will lighten up as well. Despite this cold start to tomorrow morning, with lots of sunshine and warmer air moving in, high temperatures will climb above freezing!
Our next weather maker doesn't waste any time. By Thursday morning, a quick moving shortwave will bring us some light precipitation in the form of snow, sleet, or freezing rain. This quick moving system moves out by late morning, with temperatures warming up to 40 or better by the afternoon.
A larger, more significant storm system moves in on Friday, giving us some snow or rain, and cooler weather heading into the weekend."

HAPPENING SOON!

There has been a great deal of activity at the former Sangerfield Antique Exchange, including deliveries of construction materials, and an equal - or even greater - amount of speculation about the building's future! "The Exchange," as it has generally been called for many years, was built in 1798 by master builder Major Jotham Tower for early tavern-keeper Ebenezer Hale. Tower also built "an elegant two-story frame house across the road for 'Squire Oliver Norton" that same year. (Details on the deal - soon!)

The membership of the Waterville Historical Society began writing a new chapter in the organization's 40-year history by voting unanimously, last Saturday, to move their headquarters from the old Welsh Church on White Street to the former Waterville Public Library Building on Main Street, a building that will provide more storage, display and gathering space. (Details on the property transfer and refurbishment as they become available.)
