There is NO collection today.
Tomorrow is Recyclables.
It's exactly 0.0 degrees here in the Hollow at 7:00 with an inch or so of new snow beneath clear blue sky.
Some local Facebook postings indicate that it is somewhat colder - -6, -7, even -11 degrees - in the center of the village or out in the country.

The YNN Weather Forecast:
"VERY COLD Today; Still Some Lake Effect to Deal With
Today is going to be a very cold one for us across Central NY as temperatures will be about 20 degrees below average with highs only in the single digits to near 10. You’ll definitely want the extra layers today! There continues to be a few lake effect snow showers southeast of Lake Ontario; however, no significant snow accumulation is expected. A few more snow showers continue into tonight and it will be absolutely frigid as temperatures drop within a few degrees of zero (outlying areas will likely bottom out between -5 and -10 degrees).
High pressure builds in from the west tomorrow allowing for any lingering lake effect to taper off. Unfortunately, we’ll still be left with the bitter cold air mass. Highs are forecast to be in the low teens at best. Our attention turns to a new system on Friday which will provide a more widespread snow Friday afternoon/evening. Although temperatures won’t be as cold they’ll still be below average with highs near 20 degrees. Outside of a spotty flurry/snow shower this weekend, quiet conditions are expected to prevail with highs in the 20s.."

FOR THE RECORD
Over the past several days "Tug Hill," the area roughly between Rome and Watertown, has been getting its usual super-snowy, bitter cold and blowy hit from Winter.
I was curious about the origin of the name, "Tug Hill," and found the following paragraph in an interesting online article posted by
"A best guess on the origin of the name for the Tug Hill region is that 'Tug Hill' was a frequently used name in the 18th and 19th centuries for
many areas reached by horses or oxen 'tugging' a wagon up a long road
to get to a high area. H.E. Krueger in his article 'The Lesser
Wilderness – Tug Hill' in a 1966-1967 article in The Conservationist was
named Tug Hill by two early settlers, Isaac Perry and a Mr. Buell when
traveling up the hill west of Turin."

I didn't go out at all, yesterday - other than to fill the bird feeders - and may not go out today!
If you do, drive safely and try to keep warm!
