Today is Recyclables Day
Tomorrow is Garbage
Tomorrow is Garbage
It's 24.4 degrees at 6:00 a.m.
(that's UP about 20 from yesterday at this time.)
Judging from yesterday's Email - which was sparse and, generally, should not be reprinted here - many people were struck with a "double whammy," so to speak:
Barely recovered from holiday festivities, they had to get up early and go back to work,
and, on top of that, they had to face the world on the coldest day in a long, long time.
It isn't always this cold in January......
Do you remember this?

But it was miserable yesterday!
I was among the fortunate who didn't really need to go anywhere and, so, I didn't. I spent quite a while sorting notes I had taken during all of the "Old-timers' Story Swaps" with the intention of making many (but not all!) of the stories available to the rest of you in book form, sometime.
*******************************
It was late afternoon before the temperature reached the high teens and I ventured out.
There is one thing that can be said for cold, clear weather, here - the views are spectacular! From the top of Grant Hill I could pick out individual homes on West Hill!

The Forecast from YNN: "Some Minor Lake Effect Today
Today will be mostly cloudy and seasonably chilly with lake snow showers and a few brief squalls, mainly early this morning. Most will be in the trace to 2inch range, although locally higher accumulations of 2 to 4 inches are possible through sections of Oswego County. Highs will be in the lower 30s.
A warm front will lift into the region tonight with clouds and a few flurries, skies may partially clear out late. Lows will be in the low to mid 20s. Tomorrow will be mild with clouds and sunshine. Highs will be in the low to mid 40s.
We will hold onto the milder temperatures Saturday with highs remaining within a few degrees of 40. A moisture starved cold front will arrive later Saturday with scattered flurries and lake snow showers east of Lake Ontario. Only minor accumulations are possible. High pressure will build in on Sunday with some sun and seasonably chilly temperatures. Highs Sunday will be back down in the low to mid 30s.
Temperatures will remain seasonably if not returning to mild levels through the first half of next week."
