Friday morning

Wet and windy.

32.4 degrees on the digital indoor/outdoor thermometer, but only 28 on the old "Wickes Building" thermometer that we've had on the back porch for thirty years or so.

Waterville Central School - 2 hour DELAY.

I just took a step out the front door and stepped right back inside: the porch has cocoa-matting on it, but what appears to be bare matting is slick as can be! There's ice on the railings and shrubbery, too, 'tho not as much as during the last ice storm that we had. (At least not so far.)




WKTV's first precipitation map looked like this:



and now they've posted another ...........




It's still too dark to tell what it's really like, outdoors, so I keep checking WKTV's
Weather and School Closings and the Weather blog, as well.

Tomorrow, on the other hand, sounds as if it will be a perfect day fo America's Greatest Heart Run & Walk WKTV's forecast: "Cloudy with light snow. Temperatures in the upper 20's to near 30."

I'm sure that there will be alot of runners and walkers from around Waterville. There's the team from the Ladies' Auxiliary from Post 92 of the American Legion; residents and volunteers of the Harding Nursing Home in Waterville will be walking for Team Helen. Helen Boratyn, a resident of Harding's for 34 years past away in November at age 89. Helen was a great supporter of the Heart Walk at the mall!

I know that Tim Francisco of ProActive Physical Therapy will be participating and Sharon Stiles will be walking with Team Colgate. If you know of others, please let me know and I'll be glad to post their names for blog-readers' thanks and applause!
