Tuesday

***********

It's either 34 or 37 degrees, here in the Hollow - depending on digital vs. the classic WICKES thermometer - and it might be icey up in Paris Hill, so drive carefully!

• Tuesday: Occasional rain and snow showers. Turning a bit cooler late, with some steadier snow possible toward the evening rush hour. High near 40.

• Tuesday night: Occasional snow showers. Light accumulation possible. Low in the low 20s.
• Wednesday: Mostly sunny with increasing clouds late. High: 40, Low: 27

While half of Waterville was going back and forth between CVS and the High School parking lot to see the huge flock of Snow Geese that had landed in the field between, Library Director Jeff Reynolds - and a few of the Gallagher's "Girls" - were watching another gaggle out on Osborn Avenue.

Jeff said that the "Girls" just didn't quite seem to know what to make of the interlopers and that when geese rose in flight there was a decided "din of honking and mooing!"

Here are his pictures: all "clickable."

Ann Ingersoll's brother, Paul Fleischman, E-wrote to say that he and his wife had seen a similar gaggle a few years ago near Cato Meridian and that he recalled that, in flight, they gave the appearance of confetti!

I went uptown, quite late in the afternoon, and drove out and around hoping to spot them ...

Yes! back on the field adjacent to Bogan Road near Madison Street: thousand of them, hunkered down for the night, it seemed.

Several vehicles came along, slowed and stopped, and we drivers stood talking quietly for quite a while amazed that the travelers didn't seem to mind.

But then some (expletive deleted!) got out of his/her car and decided to get a little closer, and - in a flash - the geese rose and flew off into the night.

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

More and more Christmas Lights are on in the Village: Sanger Avenue seemed to be shining the most brightly, last evening, but - with two mild days in the forecast -perhaps that will change within the next day or two!
