Good morning!

• Enjoy this balmy day while you can. The temperature isn’t expected to go above freezing until the weekend. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch and is expecting a snowfall of four to eight inches between noon tomorrow and 6 a.m. Wednesday, with winds up to 25 miles per hour sending the wind chill down into bitingly cold territory. Temperatures will be in the mid-20s tomorrow and aren’t expected to rise above 20 degrees on Wednesday.

• “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” — Martin Luther King, Jr.

• Celebrations of Dr. King’s life continue through the day today throughout the East End. A full list of events is here.

• This beagle pictured at right was found on River Road in Calverton yesterday. Call Nicole at 631.264.9936 if you have any idea where her home may be.

• The Eastern Long Island Audubon Society is offering four scholarships for high school students to attend state DEC summer camps this summer. Interested students have until Jan. 31 to submit a one-page essay about their interest in the environment. More information is available here.
