Thursday morning




*********************
***********

Yesterday turned out to be fairly mild - a "T-shirt day" -

There was a pick-up game of basketball in progress at Babbott Field ...

..... skateboarders worked out on Putnam Street ....

and then THIS happened!

Right now, it's 33.6 degrees and raining.

From WKTV: "Amounts will vary considerably by elevation. You stand the best chance for accumulation if you live above 1,000 feet in elevation. Expect about 2" in the Mohawk Valley (if that), 3-6" on the hilltops around the Mohawk Valley and south of Route 20, and 5-10" or more in the Adirondacks and Catskills. For more details, visit the Weather Blog, where a detailed region by region description of possibilities is posted. Leftover snow showers will pester us into Thursday night and the better part of Friday as well."

It's Garbage Day!

And it's a significant day - as pointed out by the Google logo on your monitor.

Looking ahead: "They're B-a-c-k!"

Superintendent of Public Works Mr. Ostrander - a.k.a. "Geno" - stopped at our place yesterday afternoon to show me the two brand new "Welcome to Waterville" signs --- hot off the press, as it were, from Valley Signs.

They are magnificent!!!!!

(Far more sightly and eye-catching than the designer thought they'd be!)

I don't know where he planned on taking them, but I'll try and track them down and take a good photo of one, today.

Funds for their purchase were raised by the Waterville Women's Club and the Waterville Garden Club.

(Thank You All!)
