Friday afternoon

From WKTV:

Route 12 between New Hartford and Waterville has been closed due to weather conditions. Blowing and drifting snow has caused whiteout conditions in the area.

If you didn't click on the comment left on this morning's "travel note," a lady from Sanger Avenue in Waterville wrote that "Our intrepid Curves exercisers made it from Waterville to Clinton at 6:30 this morning as we do every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. There was a long line of cars travelling at 20 MPH the whole way. It was much improved when we came home at 8 - we got up to 30 MPH."

It's been off-and-on "lake effect" for most of the day: bright one minute and dark and squally the next. If the Street Lamps had been on this afternoon they'd have shown up wonderfully!

The State and township plows have been keeping main roads bare.........

....but side roads have needed ffrequent attention from smaller plows, which seem to be everywhere.

This little white puppy - barely tall enough to see over the snowbanks - was having a fine walk on White Street,

..and, in the large corn field across Rt. 20 from the old Mayflower Motel, scores
of wild turkeys were feasting.
