IN WATERVILLE,

It's Garbage Day!

At 6:00 a.m. it's 9 degrees with thin clouds.

WKTV predicts that: "Heading into Tuesday, we'll be in a bit of a lull. A flurry or two is possible, but any lake effect should be to our west. Skies will be partly to mostly cloudy. Temperatures will be colder, with highs only near 20. Some clearing moves in Tuesday night and Wednesday. As winds shift early Wednesday, the lake snows may briefly regenerate and sneak into our area, providing a brief burst of snow. The wind shift will be in response to a new storm system that will swing through Thursday. That should bring some widespread very light snow. Temperatures will rebound a bit Thursday and Friday, with highs well into the 20s."

IN THE NEWS

Long-time residents will recall knowing Bruce McLean, who grew up in Waterville and passed away in Florida, last week.

It was a fine weekend for snowmobiling!

Groomers were out, smoothing "washboard" bumps from trails,


........ riders flew across fields .......

............ and gathered at Nice 'n Easy in Sangerfield to gas up and relax .....

.... while some took a break out at the American Legion.

In the village, snow heaps in the Foodking Parking Lot grow higher and higher!

It seemed to be Ladies' Day, shovelling!

Lynne Cope tried objecting ("Oh, NO!") to having her picture taken for the blog .....

.......... but Anne Karentz, on E. Bacon Street, was glad to take a thirty-second smile break!

There's a wonderful series of photographs of Iced-over Niagara Falls making its way around the internet. For more information on each and about the Falls, click HERE.

I wondered about our own waterfalls, and checked out both Gridley-Paige Road ......


.......... and "The Caves" in Forge Hollow.

(Yes, there was ice, but not the sort that invited exploration!)

PLANNING AHEAD

and, for your February Calendar .........

FOR THE RECORD

Have a Good Day, Everyone!
