Thursday



It's Recyclables Day!


41 degrees and soggy.

  • Today: Morning rain, gradually mixing with and changing to wet snow from high elevations down throughout the afternoon. Little to no accumulation expected, except in Northern Herkimer and Hamilton Counties where as much as 1" of new snow may accumulate by evening. Morning high in the mid 40s, but turning cooler throughout the day.
  • Thursday Night: Snow showers. Accumulations by morning in the Mohawk Valley will be just a slushy coating to perhaps an inch. On the hilltops surrounding the valley 1"-2" amounts are expected, with total snowfall of 3"-7" for Northern Herkimer and Hamilton Counties. Lows 28-33.
  • Friday: Scattered snow showers, especially late in the day. Some accumulation possible. High: 36, Low: 27

When I visited the ACCESS branch office on Hallowe'en, I wasn't particularly aware of any decorations that weren't cobwebby or creepy. Those are all gone, now, and in their place - in both lobby and offices - hang five or six very large photographic prints of Waterville, "once-upon-a-time."

The enlargements are the work of Skip Foppes with matting and framing by Maple Leaf Construction.

Their size and clarity of the pictures make them all a "must see!" and the ACCESS staff will be delighted to show them to you!


This enlargement of a fifty-year-old photograph of the Olde American Hotel, is so clear that you can read all of the signs and see all of the details of that building and the now-ACCESS Federal Credit Union bank.


Main Street, just the way some of you remember it.


If you belonged to the Waterville Central School Camera Club around 1940 or remember M.L. "Pete" (or "Professor") Peterson, you need to take a close look at this print.

Take a close look at the front door on the St. John Apartment building, too!
The new paint brings out details that never showed up, before.


I noticed this for the first time, yesterday. It's on E. Main Street; a fine surprise!


The groundwork's laid; the design drawn. I think it's safe to say that the WCS Art Club will be at the Post Office on Saturday!
