NOW FOR THE WEATHER



Yes - 40 degrees, yesterday afternoon!


Snomobiles were everywhere!





The Sangerfield plow was pushing back snowbanks on Babbott ......



..... and this fellow, cleaning off his Putnam Street porch, was shoveling so fast that even before one shovelful of snow had landed he was scooping up another!

WKTV's prediction for today: "Quiet and mild weather continues into Monday with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures once again into the 30s. There may be a few flurries or light snow showers in the evening as a storm system develops in the south. Based on the latest trends, the track of the coastal storm looks too far east to have a serious impact on our weather in central NY. The heaviest snow appears to fall across New England and extreme Eastern NY on Tuesday. As for central NY, we may see a general light snow throughout the day as temperatures fall into the mid to low 20s. Besides the cold temperatures, the wind will pick up throughout the day as the storm system intensifies to our east. It's too early to give snowfall forecast amounts at this time. Cold air will dive in from Canada on Wednesday, with lake effect snow. But the cold air will not last as temperatures moderate to near to above normal by next weekend."





On Saturday, Habitat for Humanity volunteers were working at the new home on Gridley-Paige Road. At least the men who were working outdoors in the cold knew that they'd be able to get warm inside the building: there was smoke coming out of the chimney - a good sign!


Meanwhile, Dave and Connie Bocko were bushwacking their way up Tassel Hill on cross-country skiis.



The road less taken.

(Thank you, Connie!)

"I get very jealous in the summer when the temps in Waterville are 75, 80 degrees and here in FL it's 90, 95. So for all my friends in Waterville right now I am sending this picture to get back at you for teasing me. Love you all and I miss the Wonderful little town of Waterville. " Jamie Bush
