steve must be up in riverhead. thanks for that. we appreciate it. and along the jersey shore, we have 48. bob remembering this, today was andy williams' birthday and hearing him on the radio again. the year. and some cooler readings. let's see, i think that this is daniel with 43. but wind chill, yeah, 37. wind at 18 miles per hour. you are going to see some significant winds later. appreciate this, dana. the tree's already up. i'm going to challenge my weather watchers. send in outside light pictures. i love to see displays. i know you're up to the task. and then we will share them over the next few days if we get pretty ones. the skies will be pretty this afternoon. but it's going to be windy. we are going to see that wind fill in and intensify. seeing the bright light, not dealing with the fog. aye yai yai, the fog too much. winds out of the west at 8 miles per hour. the cool spot on the map, 37. some 50s for long island. but just 51 this afternoon. so technically, going down as 54 but it's one of those days where you hit it around midnight. and
