Watertown, NY, USA . "Public Square" (vintage, date unknown) but the monument is honoring veterans of the American Civil War so the date of the image is late 1800s

(+20*F...+11*F w/wing chill...light snow)
(Mozart "Complete Church Sonatas")
  I knew that Mozart had written a group of pieces 17 in number sometimes called the Epistle Sonatas to be played between the readings of the Gospels during a mass.......but had never heard them...popped up on my recommended on Youtube.......all have organ and strings but some include winds......quite enjoyable in their own right......but then what am I saying..it's Mozart......
  I checked the radar I use just before 2PM  and the temperature had come up and so had the wind......out of the WSW...and figured maybe an hour.......glanced out the window just before 3PM and sure enough light snow......but the wind had shifted to SSW.....now that is not a big deal except when we're talking the narrow bands of lake effect snow.....WSW usually means where I live could be "in for it"......but SSW we will probably only catch the edge and just light to moderate snow fall....however the wind is fickle and just a slight shift can really affect the accumulations in your area....
  I remember several years ago a low front came in, wind died, and the storm got "caught" on the hills to thee east of Watertown......you travel anywhere outside the city a few miles they got maybe 6".....in 4 to 5 hours we got 4' of snow that fell straight down.....there were stacks of snow on top of telephone poles....what a mess........
