# 40to BOB BELOUIN!
*************************
Today is Garbage Day.
It's 28.6 degrees. No precipitation, right now.
From WKTV: "Cooler weather is here to stay, along with some snow showers as we head into the weekend. Heavy lake effect snow will continue to fall across Western New York and across the Tug Hill to Watertown. Most of this snow will miss Central New York. A few flurries are possible along the southern extent of the band towards Old Forge and Turin. Little accumulation is expected today.
The lake band will shift south and the wind direction changes from the southwest to the northwest. Drier air and lighter winds will cause the band to weaken considerably as it moves south. Light snow showers will fall on Friday and Saturday across Central New York, with the best chance of accumulations west of Utica.
Cold weather is here to stay for the weekend. A storm system will move in from the northeast on Sunday, bringing a chance for widespread light snow and lake effect."

CLARIFICATION
It turns out that people aren't really aware of just how much the Parade of Lights Committee really takes on and/or just why they always appreciate your support!
According to Diane Marceau, "We purchase lights for the trees that are decorated in Monument Park & the lights on the firehouse swags. We usually do the 4 trees on the Barton St. side of the firehouse but due to lack of money this year, we were unable to purchase the lights for those trees. We also pay for the goodie bags from Santa & Mrs. Claus along with the prizes for the parade winners & the best decorated business."
Thanks for all of that information, Diane!

Yesterday's weather offered a bit of everything!
"Three Different Weather Whammies Hit...." from WKTV.
"Three Different Weather Whammies Hit...." from WKTV.
First it rained - hard!
I'd been to Utica, and this is what traffic on Genesee Street dealt with!

By the time I'd reached Clinton the rain had become "thick" and the Kirkland Township plow was just pulling out of its garage on Route 12B and heading up the Post Street hill.
Here in Waterville, it was definitely Winter, again, and an icy wind hurried pedestrians across the CVS parking lot.
The snow on Osborne Avenue was sort-of like oatmeal!
The Sangerfield plow was already taking care of things.
Brian Gibbons had the walkways and stairs of St. Bernard's Church all shovelled .........
................. but, out at the St. Bernard's Cemetery, one of the old Norway Spruce trees had fallen and was partly blocking one of the cemetery roadways.

This Hanover Road woodshed is filled to overflowing.
On Sally Road, a homely thicket of burdock was suddenly beautiful - transformed by the snow into what appeared to be bushes blooming with pearls!
