You can go back to bed! (Updated at 7:30)

Punxsutawney Phil has just predicted that:

"Spring is just around the corner!"

*****************

However, here in Waterville ...................

WATERVILLE CENTRAL SCHOOL

CLOSED

See complete list of closings on WKTV

and on the O-D website.


At 6:10 A.M. - 18.3 degrees

about three inches of new snow on my front porch,
but now it is really raining/sleeting!

Traffic is moving very slowly: that's good!

Check ROAD CONDITIONS for everywhere
EXCEPT southern Oneida County.
(Check boxes 1, 2 & 8 in left-hand list.)

************

The WKTV forecast: "Traveling conditions are extremely difficult this morning with blowing snow. Heavy snow transitions to sleet through the course of the morning from south to north. The worst of the storm will last through late morning. Sleet turns back to snow early this afternoon with light snow lingering throughout the day. Total accumulations of snow and sleet from this storm can be found on the snowfall map below.

No organized lake effect behind the storm, though we could see a flake or flurry on Thursday. Temperatures rise close to 30 by the weekend, with the potential for more light snow on Saturday."

IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY!
