It's 13.6 degrees F. / -10.2 C.
WKTV has good news for Santa!
"Good morning Central New York! It's chilly out there this morning, with temperatures in the single digits. Bundle up as you head out to work or the bus stop this morning.
Sunshine is expected to continue today as cold air filters in from the north. High temperatures today are expected to be in the low 20s, but with the wind it will feel more like teens.
A weak upper level disturbance will give most of us a round of snow showers for tonight, with perhaps a coating to an inch of accumulation. Overnight lows in the lower teens.
Snow showers Wednesday, with little daytime accumulation. Temperatures stay chilly, with highs in the low to mid 20s.
If you are traveling across the northeast on Christmas Eve, the weather is expected to be nice and quiet. High pressure will bring sunshine and warmer temperatures to Central New York, with highs in the low 30s.
A storm system will develop and move into Central New York on Christmas. The timing of this storm looks to be late in the day, likely near or after dark. Precipitation is expected to initially start out as a mix of snow and ice, followed by a changeover to freezing rain and rain overnight. If you are traveling late in the day on Christmas or the day after, check back with us for the latest details on the forecast.
Rain will change over to snow on Saturday, followed by cooler temperatures. Some snow showers as we head into the weekend.

IN THE NEWS
Dateline: Waterville. Woman Asking for Donations is Arrested for Fraud.I enjoyed this article, which appeared in yesterday's New York Times:
"New York Ranks in Last Place in Happiness Rating."
(You have to read to the very end!)
*****************
Contrary to the above article, Waterville is looking like a very happy place! Christmas trees have even appeared on balconies: this is at the Burback residence on Stafford Avenue and there's one on the second floor balcony at the Mowreys', just about across the street, on the bend. (I couldn't get traffic to stop so that I could take a decent photograph!)
I've learned that the best way to photograph lights is to use an ASA setting of 400; turn off the flash and use a delayed shot with the camera either on a tripod or braced on the car windowsill with the engine turned OFF.
The Robert Harding residence on Tower Street.
Next to the Post Office, this Italianate "Villa Style" residence, built by Julius Candee around 1850, has what is described as an "icicle cornice." And now it has "icicle" lights, too!
Just a spotlight makes this Osborn Avenue doorway decoration of fruits and greenery perfect!
This enclosed and lighted nativity scene is next to the First Baptist Church on East Main Street.

This is turning out to be a really special Christmas present for me, and also assures you that I'll keep blogging my way through 2010. Thank you!
Have a great day, everyone!
