Monday

It's Garbage Day!

18.7 degrees, with a few inches of new snow
and light snow falling in the Hollow.

WKTV predicted that: "Snow accumulations will be from 3-6 inches through (Monday) morning with high amounts closer to the lake. Lake effect snow may stretch into western Otsego County and northern Chenango County late tonight into tomorrow morning. Lake effect snow will become less intense and organized in the afternoon due to the February sunshine. Snowfall Amounts for (Sunday) into (Monday) evening:


"In addition to the snow, winds will pick up ....... lasting into (Monday), creating blowing and drifting snow, along with wind chills near 0 as highs will only be in the low 20s. High pressure should promote partly sunny skies and seasonable temperatures for Tuesday and Wednesday."

When I was collecting pictures of snowmen, on Thursday, I missed this fine example ......

........... standing at attention next to the doorway of Gates-Cole in Sangerfield!

(Thanks, Jan!)

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

Over the weekend six or eight inches of new snow fell.

Wind whipped the tops of snowbanks, giving them the appearance of ocean waves .........

.............. and snowblowers spouted like whales.

Between breaks at Nice 'n Easy, snowmobilers made the most of renewed trail conditions.

*******

New York's own Iditarod took place in the Adirondacks ..........

.... and, yesterday afternoon, many of Waterville's own canines pulled their people on snowy outings.

Liska and Jane's dog ran right out of the picture!

Meanwhile, in my mailbox ........

.............. views of a sunny sort ...........

............... taken in Negril, Jamaica .........

.......... were sent to us by someone who knew that we needed something/someone bright to look at!

(Thanks, Barb!)

SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY!

I won't post Gil's Email address, here, but if you write to me
I'll forward your letter to him - O.K.?

(Thanks, Gil!)
