Friday the Fourth!



It's 55 degrees and foggy!

WKTV predicts: "sunshine! Lots of it too. The cold front responsible for today's rain is going to stall out to our south and east. But it should be far enough away to not influence our weather. A few extra clouds are possible in the I-88 corridor, but otherwise, it looks great. Comfortable temperatures, low humidity and sunshine will make it a fantastic Fourth...a complete 180 from last year!
With that front lingering too close for comfort into the weekend, we have continued a chance of showers and thunderstorms to the forecast for Saturday and Sunday. Both days would feature sun, clouds and gradually increasing humidity. Then, afternoon thunderstorms would be possible. This chance is better Sunday than Saturday right now, but there are still some question marks regarding placement of key features in the area, so stay tuned.



Yes - the corn certainly IS
"knee high by the Fourth of July!"

(There were no real "knees" available to use as measurement, but
the window of the Blog-car is much higher than they would have been!)

Blog posts may be sporadic for the next week or so while I enjoy some typically Summertime outings and projects, but if something really important happens, here in Waterville, I'll try and let you know all about it!!
