It's Garbage Day!

41 degrees, and the overnight rain continues.


The Weather Channel

The WKTV meteorologist writes: "Good morning Central New York! A chilly, wet start to the day, with more of the same as we move through the day.

Bring the umbrella and jacket this morning on the way out the door. Rain continues to fall early this morning across the area.

The steady rain showers will come to an end today in some spots, but lake effect rain will develop as well. The threat for rain showers continues through the afternoon into the early evening. Any leftover rain showers may turn over to a few flakes of snow later this evening. No accumulation is expected.

High pressure moves back into the area tomorrow, clearing out the clouds. A return to sunshine, but still chilly. Highs only in the mid 40s. Cool, dry weather is expected to stick around through the end of the week and into the weekend."

Marty Cleary marked Columbus Day by flying the Italian Flag!



The Tilbes marked the season by displaying their harvest ..........


............. and a window on East Main Street is decorated for Hallowe'en.



John Peterson sent this grand view of Nine Mile Swamp, where the "Swamp Maples" are still bright.



On Babbott Avenue, fallen leaves keep a raker busy........


............... but the grass is green on Fuess-Cleary Road!

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



The "seed pods" on the tree in front of Red and Rita Mack's house seem to indicate that it's a Magnolia Tree - but just which variety is still a mystery!



Wild Grapes - they've been touched by frost, so they're at their sweetest and juiciest:
it's time to make grape jam!

Out on Burnham Road at The Marshall Trail, excellent beaver work continues .......



........... and I've seen the dam-builders out working as early as four o'clock in the afternoon!

Taking pictures of them is something else: it's like watching whales dive ........ first they're there, then they're gone!
