This morning actually had some breaks of sun, before the first bands of the Tropical Storm pushed north and started to bring some rain.
Not much rain from it locally, but lots of gray skies.
Fort Hunter is located where the Schoharie Creek and Mohawk River come together. A point of land, jutted out into the river valley, this small town often floodafter hurricanes and heavy springtime rains. You can see the Canal Trail and NY 5S bridge, which gets swapped occassionally for maintance work. Also visible is the remains of the Schoharie Crossing and the old Erie Canal, which once ran directly through Fort Hunter.
No rain here locally but there looks to be more bands of rain around.
As you can see on this clear day after the rain, a lot of snow has melted away.
We are looking at a 3/4rd inch of rain Friday night into Saturday, although I expect to be home by then. Hopefully it will wash the salt of the roads. Maybe more sun come the end of the holiday weekend, at least Tuesday and Wednesday. The following weekend looks sunny but cold. It looks like if anything, we are heading into a period of more sun but colder.
