Imagine my surprise when I encountered this scene while passing through Walmart on the way to my office this morning! Click to enlarge.





Coldest Day in History for Corning! Yet another record was broken this morning when the temperature was 3 degrees lower than the record-setting low temperature of 19° yesterday morning.
