It's 34.3 degrees.
I stepped out onto the front porch too see if it crunched: no - it's just very, very wet snow!
Garbage Day!

Waterville Central School is OPEN, but several schools have an hour or so delay and three, North of the Thruway, are closed. There's a good list on the front page of the O-D.
Here we go, again!
- Today: Freezing rain, sleet and rain turning to snow showers and flurries. Additional accumulation of a trace to 2". Temperatures near freezing for the morning rush hour...falling to the mid 20's by dinner time.
- Tonight: Snow showers. Accumulations of 2"-4" most spots...except a few locales may see isolated 4"-6" amounts by morning in the most persistent squalls south and west of Utica and Rome. Low in the teens.
- Tomorrow: Snow showers. High in the 20's.
- Wednesday : Snow showers. High in the 20's.
Out at the Baumgarten residence on Madison Street, she whips up beautiful wreaths;
he whips the snow - everybody's happy!
What a ride THAT would be!

I set out, yesterday afternoon, to take some pictures of snow - entertainment for our friends in Florida and Texas - and stopped to take a picture of the lichen on this maple tree on Tower Street. I wonder how old the tree is: was it planted by the Putnams?
Directly across the road from the elegant old home is an equally elegant new home - that of Mr. and Mrs. John Pumilia.

And it must have been at that point that it began first to sleet and then rain and, with the temperature at 26 degrees, it didn't remain liquid very long and I decided to head home!
Not only can the hill on Buell Avenue or Rt. 315 be tricky (as was demonstrated by someone who "lost it, " on Saturday morning, and took a detour through some of my front hedge and yard !) but the driveway to the big old barn was "improved" by the D.O.T. during last Summer's resurfacing of the highway in such a manner that it requires some extra foresight and caution. Should you come to visit and have only two-wheel ( front-wheel) drive, you'll find it easier to get OUT if you back your car IN. Gene Huggins and his Saturn demonstrated that!

WKTV's weather radar doesn't seem to be functioning correctly, this morning, but here's a link to the Weather Underground's Animated map of the area! Enjoy!
