The Weather

[judy]

It was in the high 30's today, and sunny. What a beautiful day! Sunny days are really precious up here because the winter is usually long and not sunny. We have had some beauties though in the past couple of weeks.

When I listen to the local weather, I still get confused. Down in Brooklyn, the weather was the same all over the city. Up here, they go by counties, there is lake effect snow (something to do with water being picked up by the air from the lakes), and the weather really differs depending upon your elevation.

So, basically, I get snow pretty much every day, at least in the morning. Then, it either snows some more, or the sun comes out. It was 19 degrees this morning, and then heated up. Once I get down the hill onto the highway, and into town, the snow has been cleared and it is warmer.

The good thing is that it is so beautiful in the mountains when it snows. They also do a really good job of cleaning the roads so getting around is fine.

Janet, I hope your ice melts soon! Stay safe!
