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

[19:25 UTC-5]
[+13*F..w/wind-chill: +4*F..winds: e/s/e@6 mph..humidity: 79%..barometer: 30.41" ~ ]
[no rain or snow predicted for tomorrow daytime high temperatures  in the mid-30's F..snow changing to rain on Friday..sunny on Saturday daytime temperatures in the mid to lower 20's F]
[Now Playing: Bach "The Art of the Fugue" [listen]]..
   I get the updated from the National Weather Service regional office in Buffalo NY  to my FB news-feed..the most the overnight lows for the cities in the region..ours last night was -1*F..[-18.3*C]..now sub-zero temperatures are really no big deal in these parts in late December or January..several years we had a January that the temperatures were below 0*F at some point during all 31 days of the month..and my memory is a little fuzzy on this but it never was above 0*F for 11 or 12 straight days..Watertown is about 70 miles north of Syracuse NY..in January of '95 we took my daughter to Syracuse for a music audition..it was -25*F..and sunny..about half way there we went through a patch of very unsettled weather..when we got to Syracuse it was mid-40's F and raining lightly..when we returned in the late afternoon..in Syracuse still mid-30's F but the rain had stopped..same patch of unsettled weather..and when we got to Watertown it was still sunny and had warmed up to -15* F..true story..but sub-zero temperatures in November..that's "a different kettle of fish"[link]..it does happen but it is rare..
   Because of the cold weather today and the questionable sidewalk conditions have spent the day in my rooms..no pressing need to walk so I didn't..but will either venture out tomorrow or wait to Saturday after the Friday rains have cleared the sidewalks and hopefully my short cuts..
   Have the last chip drop on the free poker site I play on in a little over 40 minutes..and then time to close book on my online day..maybe a late snack and of to bed..nite all..
