Sunday for Monday




ALSO:

a belated

to Roger "Pa" Nichols!


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

Saturday morning was COLD!

It was 4.4 degrees in "the Hollow" and
1.2 degrees just south of the village,
1.5 in Hanover,
1.0 in Forge Hollow,
0 degrees on Mt. Hunger and -2 on Barton Avenue in the village!

BRRRrrrr!

But it's warmer Monday morning: 27 degrees and dry at 5:30.

The weather forecast from YNN: "As a warm front lifts to the north, skies will become partly to mostly cloudy with temperatures actually climbing into the 30s overnight. It should be a dry start to the day Monday but around midday and through the afternoon we’ll increase our chances for a few rain and snow showers. Temperatures will be milder but it will be breezy with highs in the low 40s.

The passage of a cold front will temporarily allow for a drier, more seasonable air mass Tuesday. Aside from a few lingering clouds Tuesday morning, expect more in the way of sunshine with temperatures topping out in the mid 30s.

Another storm system will work through the region midweek with scattered rain/wet snow showers as temperatures are forecast to climb well into the 40s."

IN THE MAIL



FROM THE PARADE OF LIGHTS COMMITTEE

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who came out and supported the Parade of Lights this year. This year's parade and attendance, both on the street and at the
firehouse, was larger than normal. Thank you to the Waterville Fire Department,
Village of Waterville Board and the Oneida County Sheriff's Department. Also,
thanks go out to John Savage for filling the air at the firehouse with his
awesome live holiday music, and to Santa and Mrs. Claus for making the long trip
from the North Pole so they could hear the Christmas wishes from a long line of
kids. We know how busy this time of year is for you. We would also like to send
a special thank you to Patty Louise and The Waterville Times for the generous
donation from the cake sales during the Cruisin', this was greatly appreciated.

The Parade of Lights pizza party winners are the Village of Oriskany Falls, Waterville Baptist Church and Tom & T.O.M. The $25 gift card to Nice and Easy business winner was Red Lion Pub.

We would like to remind everyone The Parade of Lights has an open account at
Nickelback Redemption Center. Anyone wishing to donate their bottles and cans
can simply drop them off at Nickelback and ask for the proceeds to be added to
our account.

Again, thank you to everyone for making this year's Parade of Lights extra
special. Until next year, Happy Holidays!"


(And Thanks right back to the Committee for all that they do!)

The following E-letter from Deansboro native Charles Thompson, photographer / web designer / videographer / and now, TV Producer:

New TV Show called "CNY Flavor" to feature Michael Latreille of "Michael's Fine Food & Spirits" on Tuesday at 1:30 on Time-Warner Ch. 11 (Ch. 3 on DirecTV.)

Charles wrote: "I don't know if you're interested, but I'm filming a cooking show all about Central New York. It's called CNY Flavor and it's on Tuesdays at 1:30 on Time Warner channel 11, which is The CW11. DirecTV customers can also catch the show on channel 3 if they have the local package with Utica channels.

The show consists of the host Scott Tranter showing the audience how to make a delicious, low-cost meal followed by an interview with a local restaurant owner or food producer. You can view all of the past episodes at www.cnyflavor.com.

Our 5th episode will air this Tuesday, the 20th and the featured interview is Michael Latreille of Michael's Fine Food and Spirits. I thought that the readers of your blog might like to see one of our wonderful local restaurants get some screen-time." (Sounds great! Thank you, Charles!)
