Very early Friday

It's 36 degrees at 5:45.

We had a beautifully "white Christmas," but it looks as if we could have at least a partly green New Year's Day!

I took this picture on the last day of 2006. It might happen again!

The WKTV forecast: "The warmup is still on track to take place (Friday) and Saturday. Temperatures warm up into the low 40s on Friday, and upper 40s on Saturday. The weather stays cloudy but dry through Friday, Friday night, and most of Saturday. A cold front will bring some light rain showers Saturday night. These rain showers may briefly turn over to snow showers late Saturday night.

A generally quiet stretch of weather takes place Sunday through Wednesday. Some light snow showers will be possible on Monday, but nothing significant is in the forecast for the foreseeable future."

Lisa Rider Pardee, who lives in Ilion, sent me this picture that she took yesterday morning. Her comment, referring to the sky filled with contrails: "The planes are flying!"

Great news for travelers!

Tomorrow is New Year's Day

and that means that

Tonight is New Year's Eve.

Once a year we sing it, and wonder where it came from, and why:
"Auld Lang Syne"

Have a great day and a Happy New Year's Eve!
