It's 33.6 degrees; no new accumulation ......
and today's doppler is much nicer than yesterday's!WKTV Meteorologist Matt Lanza is quoted in today's Observer-Dispatch: "The nor'easter hovering over the Mohawk Valley will clear out by Thursday, leaving sunshine and warm temperatures for the weekend. But for two more days, residents will have to put up with damp weather, including rain and snow showers, he said. Temperatures will stay pretty much locked in the 30s. Utica was spared from big snow totals Monday, receiving only 6 inches. But Boonville topped out the region with close to 20 inches. Things will start to warm up Friday, with temperatures in the 50s. And it just gets better from there: by Sunday, temperatures will be approaching 60 degrees. (Yeah!)

Those of you who are scratching your heads and wondering why Watervillians did so much whimpering about 12" - 16" of snow, when a real "lake effect" storm of two or three feet in January doesn't bother them, probably weren't here to do any shovelling or snow-blowing: "The stuff's like wet cement! Really heavy; really wet!"
And then it rained for a couple of hours, so what's left out there is really bad!

There's a list of area schools, in this morning's O-D, and the n umber of "Snow Days" each was allotted and how many have actually been used. Unfortunately, Waterville's not on that list.
