Early Sunday

It's 15.6 degrees.

We had three or four inches of snow, during the night. It began sleeting at around 4:30 and I can still hear it clicking on the windows.

A notice on the WKTV website:

As of 5:00 A.M.

Route 12 is CLOSED

South of Summit Rd. in Paris.

And then the WIND will start!

I need to take a nightime photo of the Verdon residence on Putnam Street. Their lighting is all computer controlled!

Our loss is Disney's gain!

If I'd known earlier, I'd have told all of you that there was going to be a Special Gathering at ECCO Video, yesterday afternoon, to say "Goodbye!" to Gene Owen (r.) and "Welcome!" to the store's new owner, Jack Giedraitis (l.) After 23 years at ECCO, Gene is leaving to do something that he's "always wanted to do!" - go to work in "The Magic Kingdom" at Disneyworld!

(That's "work"?)

But he promises to keep in touch with us: he's got the blog saved as a favorite on his laptop and will be commenting on our weather - and his - I'm sure!

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

When I was last at the Park, around 2:30 yesterday afternoon, there were only about two-dozen Christmas Trees left.

There were several Watervillians in the SRO audience at the Kirkland Art Center, later yesterday afternoon, for a performance of the medieval nativity play, "The Second Shepherd's Play," presented by Tapestry, the All-centuries Singers, of Clinton and the Grasse River Players of Canton. And what fun it was, complete with delicious warm wassail, servings of "boar's head," an assortment of Figgy Pudding cake and - as always - fine choral music !!!

Have a good, safe day!
