"No rest for the Weary"
I just got these photographs and letter from Jan Kelley! (Thank You!)
"The DPW went to work Friday at midnite through Saturday morning to clear the snowbanks from the downtown business area. At 2 a.m. the temperature dipped to 2 degrees. There was tons of fog in the air as well as a very light snow falling and it was tough getting a clear picture. Only 2 of 12 pictures turned out clear enough. I imagine by daylight, downtown will be without snowbanks!"
THANK YOU, DPW!!
State crews must have been out, elsewhere:

An article in this morning's Utica Observer-Dispatch announces that Utica Broke the "100-year record for February Snowfall" - and there are still twelve days left in the month!
There will be no problem getting to Oriskany Falls for the John Albert Memorial Antique and Classic Snowmobile Celebration, there!
It's nippy out: either -1.5 degrees or +2.5, dependoing on which thermometer I look at, but the sky's clear, the sun's shining, and it's going to be a pretty
Winter Day!
WKTV predicts: "We'll have a dry day Saturday, but by Saturday night, we could be talking about widespread light snow overspreading the region from the west, as a weak clipper type system approaches. In general snow amounts would be 1-3" for CNY, with most places checking in on the low end. Then we'll watch lake effect for Sunday. More details in the (WKTV) Blog and the extended forecast."

Also in my morning mail,
A note from Karen Fox, the "Boxtops Coordinator" for the Memorial Park School PTA,
who writes:
"The deadline for the submission of General Mills Boxtops for Education is Feb. 28.
Any one who saves General Mills Boxtops for Memorial Park School,
please drop them off at Food King, or the Waterville Public Library.
There are collection envelopes on the bulletin boards at both locations.
Thank-you!"

Now bundle up good and enjoy the day!
