Jan 12, 2015 Finger Lakes Connected Enewsletter
Snow is in the forecast but we still have green grass and blue skies as I write this. I feel as if we've been spoiled by the mild weather thus far and our normal thick-skinned New Yorker exteriors have been replaced with more of a thin-skinned Southerner type outer shell. We need to build our cold weather immunities back up! I'm suddenly reminded of when I moved to Cincinnati for my first job out of college and they all called me "Yankee" for the first few months!  The entire city would shut down when we got 2 inches of snow and I found it humorous!  Enjoy this week's Finger Lakes Connected....
