Wednesday morning

No: it's NOT recyclables day ----- that's TOMORROW!

Village Board Meeting

TONIGHT

at 7:00


*******

Between now and then, it's going to be

COLD!



WKTV Meteorologist Matt Lanza writes: "I could not tell you if it's a record, or where it stands all-time. I do know that it's one of the weirdest things I've ever seen in a winter, and today marks the end of it.

Today is the first time since December 8 that we have seen a below normal daily average temperature. That's 38 consecutive above normal days."

This morning, in "Whiskey Hollow," it's -2.2 degrees with just a light cover of fresh snow.

I've been reading a blog being sent by two young ladies who are on vacation and are sharing their adventures.



Oh, to be in Hawaii, on that little beach....




or out Whale Watching!


But I'm sure that there are plenty of people in the World who wish that they could see the snow and ignore the cold.

Elinor Wylie did:


Velvet Shoes



Let us walk in the white snow

In a soundless space;

With footsteps quiet and slow,

At a tranquil pace,

Under veils of white lace.



I shall go shod in silk,

And you in wool,

White as white cow's milk,

More beautiful

Than the breast of a gull.



We shall walk through the still town

In a windless peace;

We shall step upon white down,

Upon silver fleece,

Upon softer than these.



We shall walk in velvet shoes:

Wherever we go

Silence will fall like dews

On white silence below.

We shall walk in the snow.
