18 degrees and mostly clear.
While the East Coast has been hit with a memorable blizzard, the most we've seen of it has been about an inch of new snow and some fiercely strong wind.
It's been cold all day, but there's hope for a little warm-up tomorrow!

From WKTV: "Some lake effect snow will whiten the ground on Tuesday. More snow showers will linger on Wednesady and then our weather patterns take a major turn. Very mild weather makes its way into Central New York for the last few days of 2010. With high temperatures exceeding 40 degrees on Friday and Saturday, many areas will turn green. Cooler weather returns by Sunday."
And this forecast, from YNN: "Lake Effect Developing Tonight"
"Very cold and windy conditions are in store for today. While actual temperatures will be in the low to perhaps mid 20s, it is going to feel more like the single digits to below zero! Any light snow showers or flurries across the region are expected to taper. Tonight, lake effect snow showers will begin developing becoming more organized by Tuesday morning. It will be a cold and blustery night with temperatures actually climbing through the 20s.
Winds will become more westerly tomorrow shifting the steadier lake effect snow just north of Syracuse. However, lake effect snow showers will remain a threat through about midweek with quieter weather for Thursday and Friday."

From Brian Cossette, Assistant Scoutmaster, Troop 108:"Before the holiday season the Boy Scouts of Troop 108 cut down several trees to make our annual Reindeer for Troops overseas. Here is a picture of the boys showing off the trees at the Oriskany Falls Fish and Game club. Along with the trees, the boys collected and donated toiletries, games, and candy to include in the boxes. Also enclosed is a picture of Josh Tice proudly displaying the tree he received from our boys."
What a really nice project for the troop! I'm sure their efforts are greatly appreciated!
(Thank you, Brian!)

Those of you who know me know that I really detest housework and will go to some lengths to avoid any contact with dust-cloths, vacuum cleaners or flatirons. Not only do I not LIKE using these pieces of equipment, I often get injured by them ---- and it's happened again! I grabbed a broom, last evening, to sweep the light covering of snow from my back porch steps so that I could add a few shakes of "sno-melt" to bits of ice. Before I knew it ---- no, I didn't slip on the ice! ---- in giving the top step a final really good sweep, I managed to turn my left wrist 'way too far in the wrong direction. I knew right away that I should never have picked up the broom ---------------- and now, twenty-four hours later, I'm wearing a bag of frozen peas and typing with just one hand.
There's no sharp pain; no huge swelling and/or discoloration; just total, 100% aching pain and everything I do reminds me of the folly of it all! I've learned my lesson: no more brooms for me and, if you come to visit, be prepared to practice your ice-climbing technique!
