Monday morning

Garbage Day!


It's 39.4 degrees and "Big Creek" is singing.



WKTV's Forecast

More rain is on the way as a wave of low pressure moves in from the west. The steadiest of the rain will arrive late this morning and continue into this evening. Temperatures will be held down into the mid 40's for highs, but with a breeze, things will feel cooler. Grab that umbrella and the winter coat as you head outdoors. Wind chill indecies will be only in the 30's.

Rain will taper to scattered showers late tonight as the storm center pulls away. With winds turning lighter, some fog will develop. Fog and drizzle will be the name of the game to start tomorrow but some brightening is likely by afternoon and we ought to be free of any organized precipitation as temperatures warm a bit into the mid 50's.

The National Weather Service in Binghamton has issued a Flood Watch for the Mohawk Valley, for later today, but look at this extended forecast!
  • Wednesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 52.
  • Thursday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 50.
  • Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 56.

The women were chosen because they made significant contributions to their professions, communities, educational institutions or organizations and their accomplishments reflect the mission of the YWCA to eliminate racism and empower women.

Missy Brouillette sent me this picture from Florida taken as she and her children get acquainted with a "lawn decoration" that moved in to her sister's flowerbed while no one was watchingand only AFTER a wildlife officer had arrived and taped the alligator's mouth shut. The visitor was then taken to the Intercoastal Waterway and released.
