LIFORECAST

The, uh, forecast and looking nice and we're warming up again. We are warming up. It's been cold. But I'm telling you if you dress warm, it's just kind of nice to get out here, taking some of that fresh air. Some of our local Long Island photographers have been getting great photos. Linda was at Fire Island Lighthouse and you can see the sky nice and clear there. But I'll tell you there is quite a good breeze by the water and it has been feeling cold, but now we're going to get a little bit of a break from the cold and the breeze. So overnight 25 degrees mostly clear that cold, but the wind isn't as bad. So it's not going to have that bite in the morning. 48 tomorrow afternoon. That's about 10 degrees warmer than what we've been seeing and it won't be as windy. It's going to be nice, sunny and seasonable. So, enjoy your day. We've had some big lake effect snow bands north and west of Long Island. Those are winding down because the wind is switching to the southwest. You see the weather is quiet across the northeast into the Ohio River Valley and around the Middle Atlantic State. So good news for us. It's clear tonight in the morning at 6 a.m. we are in the upper twenties to near 30 degrees less wind for the afternoon might be a little bit of a breeze from time to time out of the southwest. Only about 5 to 15 MPH. But at three o'clock, you make it to 45 in Montauk, 47 Glen Cove and 46 in Miller Place. So we do have that warmer feel at night, partly cloudy. And then our weather starts to change on Friday. It will be mild. We are in the fifties as early as 10 o'clock in the morning, but rain is coming in late in the day. So after four o'clock, we watch some showers. This will be a fast moving front. By about midnight, the rain moves out. Saturday is dry late Sunday. We have another batch of showers coming in and some of those showers could linger early next week. So we are back up into the fifties for the weekend. Saturday is the better day early next week. Some showers clearing late and turning a little bit cooler later in the week.

East End: Krupski Farms in Peconic  

By now, you're probably done with pumpkin carving and decorating your front porch for the people who say, slow down our Dougie takes us to an east end farm where the fall continues. Well, past Halloween tractor rides plenty of pumpkins and a corn maze. You'll find the traditional Fall things here at Krupski farms also some different things. While virtually every farm stand out east has corn for people to eat, they grow corn for people to look at. Kim Krupski used to sit beside her grandmother Helen as she made arrangements out of the Indian corn grown on the farm. She's now carrying on that tradition. You definitely come up with some strategies for matching them. You want, you want them to be kind of similar, but have enough color that everybody likes something different. It'll be the, the one that I'm least proud of that. Someone's picking off the rack. First. Krupski is also well known for their wide variety of squash. There's butternut and acorn, but some lesser known varieties such as buttercup and the small quash that I recommend is roast seeds, just spread them out on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle them with some salt and put them in the oven while you're cooking the squash and that's a treat that never makes it to dinner time. Always finish those up first with all the rainy weekends. This has been a very difficult season for all the farms out east. But this is a challenging profession. It's a lot of work and we certainly stress ourselves out here, but it's, it's good to take a deep breath and say, all right, people are coming here to enjoy it because we have something so beautiful to share with them.
