It's Garbage Day!

Starting out at 22.8 degrees at the top of the slide.

from WKTV: "Today: Turning windy and becoming colder with showers and squalls. Accumulations of 2"-4" except lesser amounts southeast of the Mohawk Valley. Watch for slippery roadways. Temperatures 25-30 for the drive to work...and falling to 15-20 for the ride home from work."

and then ..........

"Tonight: Snow showers, especially west. Frigid. Low 0 to 10 below northeast of Utica and 0 to 5 above south and west of Utica. Snow accumulations of a trace to 2", except 2"-4" southwest of Utica, into Madison and Otsego counties. Continued windy with blowing snow in open areas and on the high terrain.

Tuesday: Basically January 6th got lost and decided to crash the party two months late. Frigid and partly sunny with a few harmless flakes. High 5-15."


Yesterday afternoon's weather was quite a surprise: was it supposed to do this?
A "Lake Effect" snow squall hit New Hartford around 1:30. I was southbound toward Waterville, and although I had my camera with me, by the time I'd reached Meadow Street in Clinton conditions were so bad that I don't think any picture would have looked any different than this:



I pulled over in to Hannaford's parkinglot - thinking that it was not a bad place to be, if the storm continued for hours, or days - but the whole thing ceased as dramatically as it had begun and total accumulation was probably no more than two inches.

It's snowing just a little bit now; pictures later, perhaps.

Drive safely, and Have a good day!
