Nice morning, but a heavy frost!



29 degrees: Brrrrr!

It's Recyclables Day!


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


The WKTV forecast; " A quiet but chilly start to the day. A widespread frost means you'll need a few extra minutes to remove the ice from your windshield this morning.

Staying dry and chilly through the day. Clouds ahead of our next storm system will dominate the skies today. High temperatures only in the low to mid 40s.

The next storm system is still expected to make a close pass to the area tonight. Areas south of route 20 are likely to see some light snow showers tonight. Accumulations up to an inch on the hills of Madison, Chenango, and Otsego County are possible.

The storm will do a sort of boomerange from Friday and into the weekend. The storm will pull away on Friday, meaning a mainly dry day, but then rebound on Saturday and Sunday. Light rain or snow showers are possible both Saturday and Sunday, but the weekend is not expected to be a washout.

Unsettled weather will linger into Sunday, with the chance for showers. Drier, warmer weather expected next week."

Yesterday!

(A commuter reports that at nearly 8:00, this morning, the flowers still look good!)




Rusty sent this picture of Bluebirds to me yesterday morning, saying,

"This probably happens every year, but I've only been fortunate enough to witness it a few times. I think they are all getting together to say thanks, see ya in the spring. There will be upwards of 50 that appear for a day or two in October and they stay close to one another. Getting a photo of all takes some time and patience, but I did get one. Maybe I'll have better luck later. At the moment there is some funny looking white objects falling from above."

(Thanks, Rusty!)
