Good afternoon, Central New York, and welcome to another edition of Inside/Out!
This weekend will be drop-dead gorgeous, which is unusual, to say the least, around this time of year. It’s unclear how many more weekends we’ll see that resemble this level of warmth, so it’s imperative to drink it in while it’s still here. See the weather report down below for more details, or simply look out a window.
If the events below don’t entice you, there is an extensive list of fall-themed events in this year’s Autumn Times, which came out Wednesday, and a catalogue of attractions for the coming months.
