The latest WKTV Weather Forecast: "The first half of Monday looks relatively quiet with clouds and a few light showers. Rain will become more steady by the afternoon and evening as Hurricane Sandy edges closer to the Northeast. The storm likely makes landfall late Monday along the coast of New Jersey. Overnight Monday into Tuesday, rain will become more moderate to heavy. The wind intensity will also increase, with sustained winds of 35-45MPH, with gusts over 50MPH Monday night into Tuesday. Light rain continues on Tuesday with windy conditions during the morning. The wind and rain will slowly taper off by Tuesday night.
At this point it appears that the biggest threat is going to be high wind. Because of the extended period of high winds, power outages are possible to make sure you have flashlights, batteries and nonperishable foods ready. As for rainfall, the heaviest rain looks to stay to the west and south of Central NY but still expect steady, moderate rain, with rainfall totals between 1"-3" by Tuesday evening."

I have several more notices of upcoming events, but I will post those a bit later today.
In the meantime, here are some pictures that I took over the weekend.
Tamaracs - or larches - are turning gold.
Lots of folks have been raking and the sides of streets are bordered with heaps of leaves ...
...... waiting for the DPW "leaf vacuum" to pick them up.
The Jack o' Lanterns in the Jurczaks' display on Sanger Avenue were glowing, even in mid-afternoon.
This is just part of the Hallowe'en display at the Frost residence across from California Road on Route 315!
I didn't realize how cloudy / foggy it was yesterday afternoon until I was on Gridley-Paige Road looking toward West Hill!
Driving south on Hanover Road near the Zweifels' house.
The Hanover Cemetery.
In fields between Hanover and Fuess-Cleary Roads hundreds - or thousands - of Canada Geese were wandering around, "grounded," perhaps, by the fog.
There was just one Snow Goose in the crowd.

FOR THE RECORD
The "friendship lights" are lit at the house in the Hollow.
More later.....
