Wednesday morning

It's 1.9 degrees, aiming for a scorching 17!


There's nothing on the doppler, right now, but WKTV's forecast calls for some snow showers or flurries later on:


  • Wednesday: Occasional light snow or flurries, especially south of Route 20. Accumulation of an inch or less in most spots. High in the mid to upper teens.
  • Wednesday night: Becoming breezy and cold again, with occasional snow showers, some locally heavy late. Conditions may be treacherous, but should not be as bad as we saw Monday. Low in the low single digits above zero."

I have E-mail, this morning, from Edie Eastman who lives on Route 315 and "recognized" the photo taken between whiteouts:


"I think the photo of the blizzard conditions on Route 315 must have been close to my house as that's the way it looked most of Monday."

Wasn't it most fortunate that the weather was much better for last Saturday's Heart Run & Walk?
I got this E-note, yesterday, from Becky Maggio, who was there:


"We had a great time Sat. at the Heart Walk … What a beautiful day that we had. We ended up with 8 members on our Team- Rebecca & Dave Maggio, Tina Ondrako, Kathy Pare’, Stephanie & Ryan Tabolt, Jackie Amacher & Ben Knox."

" All together our Post #92 Members & Our Team Walkers raised $1,005.00!!!! I am already planning for next year!"

Many in this part of New York State continue to be fascinated with the story of Grace Brown's murder at Big Moose Lake in 1906. In this morning's issue of the Observer-Dispatch, there is an article about the diary that was kept by her killer, Chester Gillette, while he was in proson. That diary has just been given to Hamilton College.



It was the story of the murder, of course, that inspired first a book and then a movie - "A Place in the Sun," starring Elizabeth Taylor, who (can this be true?) celebrated her 75th birthday just a week ago!
