From WKTV as of Tuesday evening: "We won't recover much Wednesday, with highs only in the upper single digits at best. A weak storm system will pass to our south Wednesday night and Thursday morning. If we avoid the clouds, temperatures will plummet Wednesday evening. Snow amounts will be light heading through Thursday afternoon. Temperatures may recover a bit above zero Thursday, but then quickly drop downward Thursday afternoon."

Both The Waterville Times and today's Observer-Dispatch have articles regarding the Friday Dedication of the Waterville Post Office to Cpl. John Sigsbee, killed in action in Iraq a year ago on the 16th.

Snowmobiles were on the trails and on the move, yesterday.

On Main Street, there was something different:

the DPW was taking down the Christmas wreaths and garlands .....

It snowed, off and on throughout the day, but the regular walkers, joggers and runners were out.

America's Greatest Heart Run & Walk on March 7.

At the Buschor Farm on Route 315 a dozen or more wild turkeys were feeding right next to the road - but they're skittish (or shy!) and only the greediest stayed where they were.

I drove past the Grant Hill Pond, in the afternoon, but there weren't any ducks there. I think I found them a few minutes later, however, and rousted them from a cornfield at the top of the hill!

A bit of an add-on re: the Book Discussion Group's upcoming meeting - it will take place at NOON on Wednesday, the 21st.
