It's Recyclables Day!
17.9 degrees with an inch or two of new "puff" overnight.
Today's WKTV forecast looks like this:
Today's WKTV forecast looks like this:
- and sounds like this: "More lake effect snow will develop today as a weak weather system pushes to the east of our area and colder air is drawn in from Canada. Winds this morning will favor the development of lake effect snows primarily from an Oswego to Syracuse to Madison line. Snows here should be on the light side. As winds back to a more westerly direction, the snow band will move to the north and east, through the Mohawk Valley during the day today. 1"-3" of snow may accumulate in all of the above areas within the lake effect snow.
By later this afternoon, the snow squall will move even further north, and just sit for a while, perhaps depositing 4"-8" of snow accumulation across far Northern Oneida County from this afternoon into this evening. Even higher totals are possible in the most die-hard snows further north, with perhaps 8"-14" for Lewis and Northern Herkimer Counties, perhaps including Old Forge.
The snows will drift even further north tonight, impacting the Watertown area late. For us here in Central New York, partly cloudy skies and scattered flurries will be the rule to start the day on Thursday."

"The less snow that we have, the better!" Electricians are making final adjustments to the wiring of the new lamps - a procedure that involves either sitting or kneeling on the ground next to the bases most of the day. We don't envy them!!
No: there is still no word on when the official "Lighting" will take place - perhaps that will be decided at next Monday's Village Board Meeting - although there may be some ON/OFF testing going on, before then during the daytime. Once functioning, the lights will be controlled by sensors (to turn them on) and timers (to turn them off.)

The WCS website links to an article about the Boys' Jr. Varsity Basketball Team's win over Sherburn-Earlville, last week, and an article in the Sports Section of today's issue of the Utica Observer Dispatch recaps Sherburne-Earlville's win over the WCS Boys' Varsity Basketball Team on Saturday.
For the past two days, a hundred or more wild turkeys have filled the field across from the old "Mayflower Motel" on Route 20, gobbling up tasty little corn morsels and noisily voicing - "gobbling," again? - their appreciation!
