Good Morning!

• We’re expecting snow throughout the day today, with temperature falling to around 24 degrees by 1 p.m. and 3 to 7 inches of accumulation by the end of the day. Wind chill values will be between 15 and 20 degrees, with a north wind of 9 to 13 miles per hour.

• East Hampton’s big public hearing on aircraft noise has been rescheduled from this afternoon to 4:30 p.m. March 12 at LTV Studios in Wainscott due to the snow. Schools throughout the East End are also closed today.

• Southold and Southampton towns are hosting a joint convocation this Saturday, March 7 at 3 p.m. to celebrate both towns’ 375th anniversaries. The celebration will be held at the First Presbyterian Church at 2 South Main Street in Southampton, followed by a reception and exhibit opening at the Southampton Historical Society’s Rogers Mansion. The Beacon’s full story is online here.

• Speaking of the 375th Anniversaries, Southold’s libraries have just unveiled a website, sundaystory.org, to highlight their Sunday lecture series for the town’s anniversary year. Southold is also planning a celebration of the Benjamin Franklin mile markers. The Beacon’s full story on the mile markers is online here.
