Tuesday

It's 27 degrees, with just a bit of new snow.



From WKTV: "Light snow and flurries will continue on Tuesday, especially north of Route 20. The snow should begin to fall apart Tuesday night, leading to clearing for Wednesday."

Today is, presumably, the day on which the old Bank of America building will become the Some Other building. The auction of the property, originally scheduled to take place on the 14th but postponed due to "inclement weather," will take place at 10:00 A.M. with "open house" for an hour before the sale.

The Waterville DPW is still demolishing and removing snowbanks, here and there around the village, and "the state" was chipping away at the drift/bank just south of CVS, as they have already done in several spots between Waterville and New Hartford.

Now that alot of us seem to be in "Spring" mindset and are feeling adventuresome - or, at least willing to leave town more frequently - consider going down to Sherburne's Rogers Nature Center on Saturday morning - 10:00 A.M. - for a "Blizzard Walk" at the Adams Farm. (I'm not sure what a "blizzard walk" involves, but AccuWeather forecasts a mostly-cloudy morning with a high of 37 degrees: not really blizzard weather, at all!)

The Utica Curling Club, which was in the news a great deal during the Men's and Women's National Championship play, will hold an Open House next Saturday, March 3, from 1 - 5:00. If you've never watched any curling or have never been to this extraordinary facility, do go!

Or - if you just don't want to deal with any more snow or ice - there's CNY BLOOMS
opening Friday at the OnCenter in Syracuse.



Or, how about the Philadelphia Flower Show? or, opening a week later, the Boston Flower Show.

(I think I'll go and visit BOTH MerriRose AND Alcotts, today!)
