It's just 33 degrees and it is SNOWING!
From WKTV: "(Sunday) night, cold air intrudes into the region. Everyone will turn over to snow, and we will see the bulk of the accumulation take place during this period. Most places will pick up around 6"-10" in addition to what has already fallen by Monday morning. Expect windy conditions to continue. The heavy wet snow coupled with the windy conditions could cause power outages in some areas. On Monday, it looks like we'll see snow showers winding down, possibly turning back over to rain by the afternoon."

In 1851, Abner Livermore sat down to write "Reminiscences of Sangerfield," in which he refers to two memorable snowstorms:
"The greatest snow storm ever known in this country before or since commenced on the last day of March. it was very cold and the storm continued a week. A great body of snow fell and drifted badly. Nearly one hundred inhabitants of the Huddle turned out with teams and shovels to break the road to the Center. About half way there they met the Center people working their way through the snow drifts to get to the Huddle. Thus it required the energies of these two villages all day to break one mile of road, the most public road in town, too.
Another cold snow storm came on the 16th day of April.
Here some one discrediting the story will say: "How do you know this and give the date so exact?" to which I answer in the scripture expression: "In those days we lived so many years and begat sons and daughters." Here I refer to my family record. James Clinton Livermore, my second son, was born on the 16th day of April, A.D. 1807."
Just 200 years ago!

I wonder if it was storming when Ron Buell was born?
The elegant Goodwin Residence on East Main Street was pressure-washed, yesterday. Will it be repainted? or left to have the original brickwork show.
There are as many scooters as skateboards, this year. This yellow one strikes my fancy!
