Another Monday with add-on at 8

More COLD! It's just about 2 degrees above zero.




It's still snowing, up North, and Adirondack Central School is closed.

Check the WKTV News site for the latest list of school closings as of 7:45.
No - Waterville is not on it.



The WKTV forecast for today:
Monday: Cold with lake effect snow. By tomorrow evening: 6"-12" for most of Northern Oneida County, 1-3" for the Mohawk Valley and most of southern Herkimer and Madison County. High 9 Low -1

In other numbers, it was the Colts over the Bears, 28 - 17 at the Super Bowl in Miami: the Colts' biggest victory since moving to Indianapolis in 1984, and it gave them the distinction of being the first dome team to win a Super Bowl outdoors. And then there was MVP Peyton Manning, who took about one quarter to figure out the Bears' defense. Then he carved it up. He moved Indianapolis by masterfully finding open receivers, calling runs and converting third downs, and his 53-yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne came with a Chicago defender draped around his waist.

If watching the Super Bowl wasn't your "thing," you can still start your day/week with lots of good laughs by watching some of the really wonderful Commercials!

An article in this morning's O-D quotes a Domino's Pizza owner as saying it was the "biggest day of the year!" I wonder how many pies were made at the New York Pizzeria here in Waterville. Lots, I bet!

It was a nice, sunny day here, yesterday, and we did go for a "Ride in the Country."

Actually, we set out to find the most direct route to Millers Mills, where the Annual Ice Harvest will take place next Sunday. (It was cancelled, last year, because there was no ice!)

We've been to Millers Mills, before; it shouldn't have been that hard to find our way back there - and we DID, finally - but we need to refine our mapping process before we lead too many of you astray!

Our friends in "the city" like these views.
You can see that there's not much snow cover
on these fields next to Tormey Road.

This reminds me of storm waves at sea,
but it's snow, over near Paris Station.

If I had a snowmobile, I'd head right for these hedgerow drifts!
