It's Recyclables Day!
18 degrees with light snow.
Although there are a great many school closings,
WCS is NOT on the list as of 6:42.
8:00 A.M. A commuter has phoned to say the Route 12 is NOT in good condition!
Just when I'd begun to think that cross-country skiis, so popular twenty or thirty years ago, were being abandoned in favor of snowmobiles, this photographic proof to the contrary arrived in my mailbox, yesterday:
it's Jeff Reynolds, " shuffling around Otsego Lake." That's the Otesaga Hotel in the background - "One of the coolest hotel porches and best places on the planet to have breakfast!"
(Maybe in warmer weather!)

Doris Stephan writes to say that
"The Waterville Book Discussion Group is reading Annie Proulx's The Shipping News. "
(The book was made into a movie in 2001 starring Kevin Spacey, Julianne Moore, Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench.)
"The Group will meet on Wednesday, Feb. 18th, at 12 noon at the Library.
Bring your lunch; coffee , tea, and dessert will be served.
Call the Library at 841-4651 to reserve your copy."

From WKTV: "A winter storm will move through the region today, giving most of us heavy snow, and some of us a period of some heavy sleet. Snow will continue to intensify heading into the morning hours. Snow will fall heavy at times between 10AM - 4PM from the Mohawk Valley north. Snow will mix with and change to sleet between 10AM - 12PM for areas south of Route 20. Sleet will likely even mix in for a brief period of time in the Mohawk Valley. Total accumulations from the Mohawk Valley north are expected to be between 8" - 12". Areas that change over to sleet are expected to see 5" - 8" of total snow and sleet.
Here's our snowfall forecast for 1 AM through 11 PM Wednesday:

I rode all around the village, yesterday afternoon.
Even on Main Street there was very little activity and, on side streets like Putnam, above and Elmwood, below, the only movement was an occasional jogger.

A brand new sign on the corner of Main Street and Route 315!
Out in the country, on Daytonville Road, township crews have moved back snowbanks to make room for more!
