LIFORECAST

Three pints should do the job. And maybe next year there'll be a Christmas miracle. Christmas tree industry is pretty well known for feast and famine in terms of supply and demand. So I think things will get better. If you don't feel like cutting your own, you can always buy a pre cut tree. Prices are up, but balsams will run you less than a fur at a big box store. And of course, you can always buy an artificial one and use it year after year happy holidays. Everyone. I'm Janice Lieberman and that's the real deal. I saw a video on Instagram the other day, Sebastian Maniscalco asking what are they charging for Christmas trees by you? It's everywhere, it's going up and you know, depending on what type of tree you want. If you want the larger tree, those Frasier 1st 10 ft and higher. Yeah, those are the difficult ones to get this year. But uh you know, hey, whatever you do, no matter what the tree decorate it with the family. Have fun doing it. Enjoy the holiday season. Mostly cloudy skies today. There will be the threat of a passing rain or snow shower this afternoon and that's more of a nuisance. Most of our day will be dry and it will be cold temperature around 41 degrees for that hyper local high. And here's the other issue that northerly wind. Yeah, that's gonna make, it feels like temperatures, well, generally in the twenties and thirties. So that's what you need to dress for going throughout the day. Plus with all the clouds around and a little bit of moisture, it has a chill to the air, some snow showers and flurry north and west. And every now and then this afternoon, there may be one or two quick little rain, snow showers or flurry or Sprinkle moving on over Long Island. Take a look at this at around +343 45 there's a cold air temperatures around 38 to 39 degrees and there's that little stray flurry, snow shower, Sprinkle rain shower coming our way. Much more of a nuisance. A festive flake or two coming on through and that threat is with us through about 8 p.m. Then overnight skies clear tomorrow morning, lows are in the twenties to around 30. It's cold Thursday morning and then during the day on Thursday can't rule out once again, a quick little snow shower or a rain shower into Thursday afternoon for the start of Hanukkah. As we go towards sundown on Thursday, it's going to be cold. Temperatures are going to be in the thirties and towards sunset, a slight chance of a quick rain or snow shower and then we're dry overnight, Thursday into Friday. And by Friday afternoon we finally warm up. Now over the weekend, this is going to impact some of your plans and also will impact some of those holiday decorations because there's a threat of heavy rain, Sunday, late afternoon, Sunday evening and early Monday morning. And as the cold front approaches Long Island strong winds, there's a potential of winds, 40 to 50 MPH coming our way late Sunday afternoon through Sunday evening. So we'll have to watch this very closely and the impacts on Long Island highs today and in the low forties, lots of clouds, it's cold chance of that passing rain or snow shower, twenties for tonight. And we do have a warm up after the cold starts of Hanukkah fifties. Friday, Saturday, stormy weather near 60 on Sunday. Oh.

Blow off some steam at NY Axe Throwing Range in Selden

Alright. If you're looking for something fun to do this weekend or maybe you just want to blow off some steam. We've got the place for you. We definitely do. And this week's road trip close to home, I'll take you to New York Acts in Selden on this road trip. Close to home, we have hit the bull's eye on fun. Welcome to New York Acts in Selden ax throwing has become a popular activity over the last few years and this venue opened up in September. Everyone 11 years and older is welcome to grab an ax and give it a try. They do use real sharp axes so they offer safety training and a personal coach, especially for the larger groups. They host birthday and bachelor parties, even corporate team building events. It's been great, tremendous success from the beginning. We, we thought it would be good, but it's just taken off. This is the first digital ax throwing experience in New York. The target is digitally projected onto the wall which means you can change it up from a standard bullseye to even tic tac toe. Pretty much. There's about 10 different games to pick from So it changes the experience. You're not just throwing at the same redundant target over and over and it's not just ax throwing. You can also try your hand at Safe Archery. It has this Velcro tip but still shoots like a standard arrow. The Selden location also offers a full bar and snacks like mini pizzas and pretzels. On the weekend, we try to make it somewhat like a nightclub vibe, the music, the lights are down, the music's pumping. And for those of you in Nassau, you can still hit the target at their location in Farmingdale at New York. Acts in Selden on this road trip, close to home. I'm Mexi Egland.
