They were Right!

The Weather Forecasters, that is!

And We Have SNOW!



Between 8" and 9" just outside my front door.

Lines are sagging and the shrubbery - including all my ancient lilac bushes - is bowed.

Mrs. Davis just sent this!
(She has a steadier hand! or used a flash!)

You can check WKTV for School Closings:

as of 6:22 Waterville was listed as OPEN, but that could change.

I'm going to post this, but will add bits and pieces as I read the morning news, so check back!

AND, FROM WKTV:


I won't be getting right out onto the road, this morning, but if blog-readers around Waterville are taking pictures that they'd like to share, please do send them to me by clicking on "E-mail the writer" at the top of this post!

I'm sure that everyone in Florida and Arizona and Texas would love to see them!!




10:30 A.M. "jella" just sent this picture of snow on Tower Street.



They always say that there's more snow at "higher elevations" - especially at those over 1,000 feet. The elevation here, in Whiskey Hollow, is just 1,140 feet --- Tower Street must be twenty or thirty feet higher and it looks as if they have the snow to match!
