Friday

BAKE SALE, TOO!

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

It's 19 degrees with just a few snowflakes falling.

I heard plows, during the night, but I don't think that we've received more than two inches of snow.

WKTV predicts that: "scattered snow showers will be around the area. Later in the afternoon and tomorrow evening, as winds align from the northwest, lake snows will begin developing southeast of Lake Ontario, which would keep most of the moisture primarilly just southwest of the Mohawk Valley. These lake snows may get very well organized Friday night and locally heavy snow is possible in southern Oneida, Madison, Chenango, extreme southern Herkimer and Otsego Counties. We still are not 100% certain how this will play out, but our feeling is that any significant accumulation will be primarily confined to within the Route 20 corridor. Any subtle shift north or south of the wind direction will result in a different outcome. One of the limiting factors for significant accumulation is that winds may be just a hair too far northwesterly to get a single band of heavy snow going, but would allow for slightly lighter snows spread out over a greater area. Stay tuned for this.
Heavy lake snows should persist into Saturday, before gradually winding down later Saturday night. It will be bitterly cold for November on Saturday. In fact, Saturday night could feature lows that could exceed those readings we reached Thursday morning, primarily where skies clear out. Sunday will see improvement and slightly milder readings."




Les Risley chimed in, reporting that: "Gas is down to $1.88 in Ocala; still $1.91 in Dunnellon.

Temp. down too, was 38 this am.


(Brrrrr!)

As soon as he had read yesterday's blog, DPW Superintendent Jamie Bechy sent me this picture of Lou Langone receiving the EPA Award in Chicago on October 20th.



And then Lou, himself, sent this photograph of the banner he'd been given.
The award itself is in the display case in Municipal Hall.
He also made a point of saying that Waterville was the ONLY community
from New York State that received an award!
