LIFORECAST

All right, chilly cold that says it. All right there. We have to think of our pets too when it's this cold, you know, walking them. You see all the dogs around town with their little jackets on. You guys need your jackets. We have one more day of the really cold stuff coming up and then temperatures will rebound a little bit. So through tomorrow we have this bitter blast. Temperatures are about 10 degrees below normal. Tomorrow morning will actually be a little bit colder temps in the twenties, feeling more like 15 for most of the day today, we had chills in the twenties. So tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. 30 degrees from Glen Cove, 29 ice up feeling like 22. It will feel like 24 degrees and about 20 from orient to Montauk. So another cold day, but it's dry in the afternoon. We struggle to get to 40 for most of the day. Wind chills are in the twenties. It will be a little bit brighter than today. We have more sunshine and we got our first flurries of the season this afternoon. Any flurries right now are ending. We have some big lake effect snow bands to our north west and that's where that snow will stay. So tonight, mostly clear, sunny, start to your Wednesday. The afternoon looks fine. More of a west southwest wind late. So it won't be as cold as we head into Thursday. Thursday is my pick of the week for that sunshine, dry conditions. Very nice. And then a round of rain will come in. This is Friday evening. So Friday evening, we have rain clearing on Saturday. The weather will get a little bit unsettled after that early next week, but it's warmer. We make our way back up into the fifties.

Nature lovers take a hike, or go birdwatching in Cold Spring Harbor

1013ALIRoadTripColdSpringHarbor

on this road trip close to home, we are featuring a north shore spot that's got a lot to offer. Welcome to Cold Spring Harbor. This quaint little town along the sound is a perfect spot for nature lovers, especially Cold Spring Harbor State Park is right off the main road and it's a great place to hike. You start by climbing these stairs. It's 47 acres filled with walking trails. And one of the reasons it's a favorite in this area is because it's dog friendly. This park also offers an exciting birdwatching experience. The water is obviously a huge draw. It's the perfect place to set up a picnic with a beautiful view of the fall foliage, fishing, kayaking and paddleboarding are also very popular hobbies around here. Then take a walk down Cold Spring Harbor's Main Street. Plus there's a ton of history here. You can about it at the Whaling Museum and Education Center and after all that you'll need to pick me up at sweetie pies, one of my favorite places for coffee and a treat on this road trip close to home in Cold Spring Harbor.
