Tuesday morning

It's GARBAGE Day!

20.8 degrees at 6 o'clock, with just a frosting of light snow falling.

WKTV's Amanda Gabler predicts:
Tuesday: Mostly cloudy and cold with light snow. Breezy. Light accumulations possible south & west of Utica. Total snow accumulation by 5 PM: 2-4" for most of CNY, with 4-6" possible in extreme western Oneida and Madison Counties. High 17
Tuesday night: Partly cloudy and very cold. Low -1


(from the Weather Channel.)

There is some snow in the forecast but nothing like this - just four years ago!

And, in just two months, "Footloose" opens on the WCS Stage! It's a musical set in the 80's --- remember leg warmers? break dancing? huge hair? --- with some memorable songs ("Almost Paradise," "Let's Hear it for the Boy!") and super choreography! The basic plot?

Ren McCormick, (Alex Mowrey) a high school student who is uprooted from his Chicago home after his parents' divorce and moved to the tiny town of Beaumont. To his horror, he learns there is no dancing permitted in the town, due to the city council being overly concerned about the safety of its youth. That was because several teens had once died on their way home from a dance -- ergo, dancing is bad, according to Rev. Shaw Moore (Rusty Ritzel) who rules Beaumont with an iron, Bible-clutching fist.

Ms. Loomis has an excellent cast - already in rehearsals - and experienced, inventive and energetic technical crews: it's going to be good!
