First, today's weather:

Early morning snow, 2-4 inches, then breezy. High: 35, low: 24.

Here are the top stories in East Hampton today:

1. Marking the start of his third term, EH Town Supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc presented the 2022 "State of the Town" address at the town board's virtual organizational meeting yesterday. Highlights were past accomplishments as well as goals and initiatives such as a major focus on addressing the affordable housing crisis. He also announced that the East Hampton Airport will go 'private.' East Hampton Airport will transition to private use under a “prior-permission-required” model. (Press Release Desk)
