The Weather Forecast from TWCNY:

"Breezy & Chilly, But Quiet Through Friday
Today will be brisk and cool with intervals of sun, with more sun for northwestern sections of CNY.  Highs will be around 60.  Quiet weather continues tonight into Friday with a partly cloudy sky tonight and intervals of sun fading away to end Friday.  Lows tonight will be in the mid 30s to low 40s, and highs will be in the mid to perhaps upper 50s to end the week.

Clouds increasing to end Friday into Friday night will ironically be the result of the strong high to the north up across Southeastern Canada that will produce a stiff, raw easterly flow in the low to mid levels of the atmosphere ushering in more and more clouds and possibly even a few showers Saturday and Saturday night.  It will likely be quite chilly Saturday too with highs probably struggling to make the low 50s!  Sunday should be dry, breezy and more seasonable with highs possibly making the low 60s. 

What about Joaquin??  Well, the latest data is now suggesting a more easterly track.  The two forecast models we most rely on for longer range forecasting are still not agreeing, but are closer than they were this time yesterday.  One solution is forecasting the storm to push into NYC Monday with some limited rain and wind possible from it here too, while another set of data that has been more consistent lately and seemingly has a better handle on this storm, is still suggesting that the storm will just affect the fish mainly.  Stay tuned to your Weather On The 1s Forecast and right here for the latest updates regarding the track of Joaquin and it's impacts, if any, on us.  "



 As you can gather from yesterday's weather alert, above, it's been raining, and we don't need any more right away!

There may be a "plus-side" to the drenching, however, and 
" 'shroomers" will be on the lookout for these Autumn treasures!

"Pasture Mushrooms."


 Here's one that I found two years ago right next to Madison Street.


At first, I didn't realize how large it really was — just a hair under 8 inches across or four times normal size — and it was fully four times as delicious, too!
I've been picking these since I was a child so am quite sure I know what I'm looking at when I see it, but if you're not sure...
