A note from Jill Getman, at the Waterville Public Library:

" Due to the lovely weather we had yesterday, we decided to reschedule the

"Healthy Comfort Food" class

to

Tuesday, January 13th @ 5:30,

and there are still a couple of spots available if anyone is interested.


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

It's 16.5 degrees; no precipitation.

WKTV predicts that: "It will turn much colder Friday, with lows by morning ranging from zero where skies clear out to the low teens under the lake clouds, and highs Friday only in the upper teens to perhaps near 20 degrees. Outside of lingering lake flurries south of Utica Friday, it will be partly sunny.
Clouds will increase Friday night ahead of another approaching storm system. This one will yet again be complex. What falls will be all snow, but this time, our question is regarding how much falls. We have some computer models bringing us merely flurries, not starting until Saturday afternoon. Other models are calling for heavy snow, starting as early as daybreak Saturday. Either way, expect clouds and at least some snow for Saturday."

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

It snowed off and on all day yesterday.
Out in the country, portions of roads like Fuess-Cleary seemed to disappear.

In the village, the green lights said "Go!" but there wasn't much moving!

I think that it was the first day in a long, long time that Tom's sidewalk display room wasn't filled with bright whirlagigs!

State plows were busy on Routes 12, 20 and 315 ................

......... County plows were here and there ............

............ and the Town of Sangerfield plow kept Village streets clear.

The "intrepid" Sidewalk Plow went on its fifteen-mile route........


............. and everything that could move snow was pressed into service.

******

Men like Tom Ireland, with plows mounted on pickup trucks, spent the afternoon clearing driveways ...........

........ while residents with snowblowers (George Reynolds, above, and Don Brown, below)
dealt with their own sidewalks and driveways, and ...........

Berrill Avenue

just plain old-fashioned snow shovels saw plenty of action.

W. Bacon Street

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

Of course different villagers have different views of Winter:

"What snow?"

(that even made my camera shiver!)

and the blogger's own




"But it's so pretty!"
