It's Garbage Day!


19 degrees with light snow falling.

As far as yesterday's storm went, the product failed to live up to the promise: a disappointment only to those meteorologists who have to answer to some superior for their predictions!

Snow did fall, off and on, and this morning I have an 8" accumulation on my front porch. That includes a few inches that were there yesterday morning.

The top several inches are light and puffy - but then there's a layer that isn't: that portion fell as icy pellets when I was out and around the village in the early afternoon.

Many students at WCS are actually GLAD that they had school, yesterday!  Schools that were closed cancelled Regents Testing! (from the O-D.)

This morning, WKTV predicts that: "1"-3" of additional snow appears likely for most of Madison, Oneida, and Northern Herkimer Counties through noon, with a few locally higher amounts in persistent squalls.

"The lake effect snow will lift to the north by Thursday afternoon. We may even see a few breaks of sun as high temperatures climb to around 25.
Another round of snow showers will arrive later Friday as a cold front crosses the region. We'll see a cool down by Saturday."

It was an ordinary Winter day on West Main Street.

Up in the Park, the "Bobcat" forged pathways ...........

............ snowplows cleared driveways ...........

.......... and, in front of ACCESS Bank, Wayne Brouillette said that he's plowed and shovelled more snow this year than he did ALL of last winter!

Morgan's sidewalk showroom offered something for everyone:  something to slide on, a snowblower, shovels, and a mattress to rest on at the end of the day!

I've beaten the Bug!

(but it is a tough critter, so stay out of its way!)

Thanks for all your Get Well wishes!

A Special note of Appreciation to Frances Ditch who sent me a very pretty "Thinking of You" card in the "snail mail."   She had no way of knowing, of course, that I'd be sick when I received it --- so it was an especially pleasant gift!   Thank you, Frances!

Have a Good Day, Everyone!
