Brrrrrr-isk, out there!
It's 25.9 degrees, with just some thin, scuddy clouds.

The WKTV forecasters are confidently predicting SOME SNOW by late today: Northern Lewis Co. will no doubt see the heaviest accumulation and we may only get "a dusting."
Today: Clouds and breaks of sun. Lake effect snow across Northern Herkimer and Lewis Counties with a few inches of additional accumulation. Perhaps 1"-3" accumulation for Chenango County and southwest Madison County (off of Lake Erie). For Utica, Rome, and the Mohawk Valley...just a few light snow showers and flurries with perhaps a fresh coating in spots. High in the mid 30's.
Tonight: Lake snows reorganize across most of Oneida County, West-Central Herkimer County and Northeast Madison County with 4"-8" of accumulation and locally higher amounts in persisting squalls. Low in the low 20's.
Wednesday: Lake effect snow...tapering off in the afternoon. High in the 20's to near 30.
Barring a sudden blizzard, the WCS Boys' Varsity Basketball Team will meet Mt. Markham at 7:30 this evening at Waterville.
Gillian Mowrey can look at a beautiful Winter Scene any time she wants to: she was the winner of the W. Ralph Murray Watercolor that was raffled off by the Waterville Public Library, before Christmas!
Our old friend, Warren Gilman (from Down Maine) sent me a tip from Spaceweather.com about seeing Comet McNaught.
"Sky show at no cost. Magnitude 0 to -1 !!! Bright.
To see Comet McNaught, a clear view of the horizon is essential. In the morning, go outside and face east. The comet emerges just ahead of the rising sun. In the evening, face the other way--west. The comet pops out of the western twilight as soon as the sun sets. Binoculars reveal a pretty, gaseous tail. You won't lose much sleep! "
Perhaps some of you who have that sort of "clear view" will go out and have a look-see?
The sort of "light show" that I'm watching for has to do with the Victorian Streetlamps: surely it's time? I'll check out the storage trailers several times, today.
I'm also hoping to find out more about the condition of one of our TIOGA "Flag Girls" - Deb - who, I understand, was badly hurt in an accident a few weeks ago. We should send her a HUGE "Get Well" Card, shouldn't we?
