Early Wednesday

It's Recyclables Day!

27.5 degrees at 5:50

Strange Weather!

Here's the link to the WIBX School Closings list:

just up, at 6:07

WATERVILLE CLOSED


The headline on today's Observer-Dispatch reads: "Slippery Roads ahead: Morning Storm Expected."

From WKTV, as of Tuesday evening: "South of Route 20: Snow tonight, mixing with sleet by Midnight. Becoming all sleet and freezing rain overnight. A couple inches of snow and sleet possible, followed by some light to moderate icing. Freezing rain will continue into the morning and early afternoon. Temperature and daylight may limit ice accumulation on some roadways, but ice should build up on trees and powerlines, perhaps in excess of 1/2" in spots, before transitioning back to snow after dark.
Between Route 20 and I-90: Snow tonight, mixing with sleet just after Midnight. Precipitation will become mainly sleet and freezing rain later in the overnight. Sleet and freezing rain will continue through the morning and early afternoon. Temperatures may briefly warm above freezing during the early-mid afternoon. Ice buildup will continue on trees and powerlines, as well as some roadways, and could reach as much as 1/2". Precipitation will transition back to snow and some plain rain after dark."

Midnight update:
Snow has moved into the region. To the south snow is beginning to mix with sleet and even freezing rain. That mix will spread north through the night and most folks should see a mix by 3-4 AM, except the Tug Hill and Adirondacks. Snow accumulation by daybreak should be a coating to 2" south of the Mohawk Valley. And perhaps 2-4" elsewhere, with isolated higher amounts possible north of the Mohawk Valley. Ice accretion should be 1/10" to 1/4" in most areas, with slightly higher amounts possible south of I-90. Temperatures should remain steady or rise a few degrees.

Despite the cold, Tom climbed the ladder to change the sign!




It was still icy-crunchy under foot, yesterday, but the sidewalk was clean in front of Morgan's and the sidewalk display was in place!



Afternoon runners were out in force!



Something's happening, and

I'm just waiting for confirmation!




It appears that ALL of the units at the Pumilia Townhouses on Madison Street have been spoken for and more people are investing in the future of Waterville!

This Sanger Avenue building, damaged by fire last year, is being renovated by its new owner, Mr. Wayne Brouillette.



Extensive refurbishments are also under way at this residence on Madison Street.

**************************


I happened to be on Osborn Avenue, yesterday afternoon, when a train came through.
Whistles sounded, bells rang and gates came down.

I couldn't help but think that a train coming through Waterville 100 years ago would have stopped at the depot.


I'm sure that many of you have read the account of the arrival, in 1867, of the very first train to come to Waterville - but if you haven't or if you're curious about what it took to feed the 10,000 guests, click here!
