Tuesday morning

9.7 degrees at 6 o'clock, and according to AccuWeather we'll see some sunshine and then have some more snow.





WKTV offers a list of all of the schools in this area and what their open/closed status is. Waterville is OPEN.

There was some snow, yesterday, but the wind didn't allow it to stay where it fell, and "whiteouts" occurred at the usual places:

near Allen Acres,

and on Osborn Avenue.

The wind chill made it unpleasant to stay outdoors,
and even the Carolina Wrens and Red-bellied Woodpecker
looked awfully uncomfortable.

An item in yesterday's O-D assured readers that when it's time for the Ice Harvest at Millers Mills - next Sunday - there will be signs to get you there.
Just to get you going - drive E. on Route 20 past Winfield and take Route 51 N.
Watch for a right-hand turn onto Millers Mills Road.

This is the important part:

When you get to a crossroads, make sure you turn left!
(We didn't, and spent an hour or more
getting back to where we wanted to be!
But it's very pretty countryside - not time wasted
at all!

AccuWeather predicts that it will be around 20 degrees and the sun will be shining.)
