"A winter weather advisory is in effect for all of Central New York through this morning.
Rain in the valley from Herkimer west, but sleet and freezing rain are being widely reported across the area this morning. Be careful on the morning commute north and south of the valley, and east of Herkimer. A gradual transition to rain takes place from the valley south this morning, with lingering pockets of freezing rain and sleet north and east of Utica. Highs in the 30s and breezy.
Drizzle and flurries tonight with overnight lows in the mid 30s.
A period of accumulating snow in the cards on Friday with gusty winds. Lake effect snow showers on Saturday, then turning quite cold on Sunday."

It looked and felt just like a "Spring Day on Main Street," Wednesday afternoon.

I did notice something that I hadn't seen, before:
Two signs, one on each side of the road, about a mile east of Sangerfield, placed there by the Route 20 Association of New York State.

Rain/Wintry Mix Develops tonight
Still Mild Thursday; Much Colder Heading into the Weekend.
A large storm system will arrive (Wednesday) with precipitation spreading in by midnight. Roughly from the I-81 corridor and points west will see mainly rain develop, however east of the I-81 corridor there will be pockets of a wintry mix. Any accumulation will be minimal, although watch out for some slick roads. Overnight lows will be in the low to mid 30s. Steady precipitation will quickly taper Thursday morning with just scattered rain showers and drizzle expected for the afternoon. Highs will be in the upper 30s and lower 40s.
A cold front will arrive Friday morning with area wide rain and snow showers and a few brief squalls. Temperatures will turn colder with most spots quickly falling into the 20s. As colder air works in on Friday, lake snow will initially develop east of Lake Ontario. Lake snow showers will drift south and into the region Friday night into Saturday as temperatures continue to turn colder and winds turn more out of the northwest. Highs Saturday will only be in the low 20s. Sunday looks fairly quiet, but very cold with temperatures struggling to get out of the teens."
