Sunday morning

It's 7.3 degrees, with a "real feel" of minus 10: bbbrrrrrrrr!
AccuWeather forecasts partly cloudy; a few peeks of sunshine, and a high of about 13 degrees.

WKTV's forecast for Sunday: Mostly cloudy with heavy lake effect snow across the north country. Accumulations in Lewis, N Herkimer counties in excess of one foot. Very cold and breezy. Wind chill values between -10 and -20 in the morning. High 11 Low -4.




It's clear, here, and the moon is bright. Owls were hunting, coyotes singing and - on Friday night, at least - several deer foraged for apples under the old trees near the creek in Whiskey Hollow while dedicated sky-watchers (elsewhere!) were braving the cold to enjoy the sight of
Saturn at its brightest.

There were fewer-than-usual snowmobiles seen and heard, yesterday and last night. Presumably, many local riders were in Boonville at the Adirondack Cup Races, which will continue today.

The next major snowmobiling event will be the John Albert Antique & Vintage Classic & Barbeque in
Oriskany Falls, two weeks from now.

Later today, perhaps a "ride in the country" -in a Chevy Tahoe (with heater and wheels!)
