Friday morning

This isn't too bad:

it's only minus 6.5 degrees!

Not a smidgen of snow

- and look at this great forecast:



Today: Mostly sunny.
Temps warming up quickly through the morning.
By noon, in the low 20s, with highs in the upper 20s.

Saturday:
Mostly cloudy. Rain or snow showers likely by late afternoon.
High: 41, Low: 29

Sunday:
A mix of sun and clouds. A flurry is possible up north.
High: 42, Low: 22

Monday: Mostly sunny and pleasant.
High: 43, Low: 26

It was pretty chilly, yesterday, but the groomer gassed
up at Fallon's and snowmobilers took to the trails.

Blog-readers may be getting tired of this sort of view -

so aren't all the drivers!


This was in my morning mail:

"Greetings from Florida"
from Missy Brouillette and the children!

****************
The "Nose"!

Just whose was it? The writer may have erred in referring to a particular bump in the landscape and curve in the road between here and Deansboro as "the Pope's Nose." John Cornelius recalled: "any of us kids from Deansboro (knew) that that was Daniel's nose. When we started to ride the bus to WCS - and that was 1940 - we had a bus driver named Dan Madden. His wife was Nellie I believe. He was a good bus driver and he said when he gets past the nose we will have good sailing, so we kids always aquaint it with Daniel's nose."

Carol Aldridge called it "Daniel's Knoll."

Perhaps, when Mr. Madden was himself a boy, it was called "the Pope's Nose"
and he didn't feel the need to explain that to his passengers.

???


Perhaps someone from WCS could add "Footloose" to this list?
