Welcome to 2009



It's 2.7 degrees;
no precipitation right now.


From WKTV: "Thursday, it will be a nice day if you can look past the cold. Temperatures will warm into the mid teens at best, but winds should subside a bit. Sunshine is expected for much of the day. Clouds will roll back in Thursday evening in advance of another storm system that should zip across the region Friday. This system will be starved for much moisture, but may bring a general light snow to much of the area. Behind it, a pretty fair setup for lake effect snow develops for Friday night and Saturday.
Another chance for perhaps more complex storms with more than one form of precipitation exist on Sunday night/Monday and again on Wednesday. Chilly weather and occasional storminess seems to be where we're locked in right now.

By this morning Hanover Lake may appear to be solid, but ..... slow down!

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



It was snowy and blowy on Main Street, yesterday morning.


W. Bacon Street

Most of the activity in the village involved snowplows, snowblowers and snow shovels.




I think that this is John Brouillette, who had driven a tractor to town to do some serious shovelling on Main Street.



Mark Bentz and a Sanger Avenue resident used traditional methods ....





while Al Toussaint .........



Kevin Bancroft ..........



........... and Bob Mayne maneuvered snowblowers.

(Smile, Bob! Only four months 'til Fishing Season!)


'Til then ...

Stay Warm, everyone,

and have a Great Day!
