Hamden Support Group -- 12/6

Hi, all! There's a support group meeting in Hamden on Mon. night, 12/6, at the Senior Center (behind the Miller Library) from 6:30 till about 8 p.m. Any doctor's patients are welcome, as well as anyone considering surgery. Please come and join some of us for dinner afterward (apologies to Linda W., but some of us don't have time for dinner before and we have to eat anyway, so why not with friends). If anyone needs directions, please e-mail me. Hope to see you Mon. night, Debby

Hi, all! In case you haven't heard the weather forecast lately, here's what I just saw on weather.com: Severe Weather Alert from the National Weather Service ...NORTHERN FAIRFIELD CT-NORTHERN MIDDLESEX CT-NORTHERN NEW HAVEN CT- NORTHERN NEW LONDON CT-NORTHERN WESTCHESTER NY-ORANGE NY-PUTNAM NY- ROCKLAND NY-WESTERN PASSAIC NJ- 1013 AM EST SUN DEC 5 2004 A COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING LIGHT SNOW TO THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY AND INTERIOR CONNECTICUT DURING MONDAY MORNING. THE PRECIPITATION WILL CHANGE TO A WINTRY MIX DURING MONDAY AFTERNOON... PRIMARILY IN THE FORM OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET MONDAY AFTERNOON... THEN LIGHT FREEZING RAIN OR FREEZING DRIZZLE MONDAY EVENING. MOST OF THE AFFECTED AREA COULD RECEIVE BETWEEN A TENTH TO A QUARTER INCH OF ICE ACCUMULATION BEFORE PRECIPITATION CHANGES TO RAIN DURING MONDAY EVENING. SOME SHELTERED VALLEYS WELL INLAND... ESPECIALLY IN ORANGE COUNTY... COULD STAY BELOW FREEZING UNTIL EARLY TUESDAY MORNING AND RECEIVE MORE SUBSTANTIAL ICE ACCUMULATIONS. ANY AMOUNT OF ICE ON AREA ROADWAYS CAN CAUSE HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS.... Although Hamden is in Southern New Haven County, we're still supposed to have a wintry mix of precipitation Monday afternoon and evening. Joanie M. and I spoke this morning. She will NOT be walking before the support group meeting and we may not attend the meeting at all, depending upon the weather. If we do attend the meeting, we'll decide afterward whether or not to go to dinner. Hey, this is New England and it is December, so what can you do? Maybe the forecasters are wrong and it'll blow out to sea. Debby
