Thursday Morning, continued

It's RECYCLABLES Day!

28.6 degrees at 6 o'clock, and there's no precipitation.



The WCS Boys' Varsity Basketball Team beat Hamilton, 50 - 47.

Everyone agrees that this weather is generally grand for traveling - whether to Basketball Games or to the far South.

These were two of the largest -and loudest - Gaggles of Geese I've ever seen!

The only local travelers who are being hampered by the currently green conditions are the members of WASTA: the Waterville Area Snow Travelers Assoc.



Teams of members have been out marking trails, but only a very few have had a chance to ride on any of them.

The WKTV Weather Room statement doesn't give snowmobilers any reason to cheer, either:

"Friday will see us under the influence of a "dirty" southwest flow, that will leave us with a good amount of cloud cover, perhaps some breaks of sun, a few showers and mild temperatures. This will lead to a second round of steadier rain on Friday night and early Saturday. Aside from an early rain or snow shower, Sunday should be dry and quiet. A weak coastal low will pass by on Monday and could touch off a few rain or snow showers. Slightly cooler air filters in for Tuesday and Wednesday, along with the chance of a few snow showers. But almost immediately, mild air starts to work back in here for the remainder of next week.

Any return to sustained chilly weather with snow chances appears to be on hold until at least next weekend, if not later. "

The blogger is glad that there's no HUGE storm in the very immediate future because Mr. B. is now able to leave the Harding Nursing Home for rides in the country, lunches out, visits to his home-based television set and OTHER favorite big chair.
