******************************
A storm system brings clouds to the area tonight. Temperatures will actually rise throughout the overnight. Light snow is possible before daybreak.
The center of this storm is expected to pass well to the east. The heaviest precipitation falls across New England yet again. For Central New York, a mix of light snow and sleet is in the cards, with generally light accumulations. More light snow on Wednesday.
We do get a break from the cold by Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon, with temperatures in the 30s. Back to cold weather again by Thursday."

Most of the photographs taken during the Candee Block Fire show Clinton's aerial ladder truck: Travis Bauer sent me that photograph and two more, assuring me that the Clinton Fire Department was not still using the old beauty. In fact, they recently traded in a twenty-five year old model for this:
(No more open cab!)

This is not really the twentieth anniversary of the Candee fire: not til the following week or so was it realized that the date on the newspaper pages had not been changed: these events happened in 1982.

My husband also took hundreds of pictures during the fire, and he was most determined that he was not going to miss this shot! He got it - and just a few minutes later he was back at the house in the Hollow, closing the door to the darkroom he'd built in 1971 in a pantry broom closet!

No: I don't use the Broom Closet Darkroom!
(If anyone would like the enlarger I'd be glad to let them have it!)

Usually I just ride around looking for views that record the "state of the Village" or give our "snow birds" in Florida something to chirp about!
In the winter of 1871, when the Village Diner was George M. Bright's General Store, a photographer would not have had the chemicals to produce such a cold-weather image.
And he certainly wouldn't have believed that anyone sitting at a computer (whatever that might be!) would be able to add snow, bare handed, with a storm machine paintbrush called Photoshop!
