Waterville Girls' Basketball

- the score of last night's game -

56 - 54 over Fabius-Pompey!

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

This morning it's 15.6 degrees

and there's just a scant covering of new snow.

From WKTV: An Alberta Clipper type system will pass well to our south, but clouds and a few flurries are possible. Temperatures will remain cool...in the 20s for highs. Lake snows will sink south as that system pulls away tomorrow night, and as northwest winds set up, multiple bands of flurries and a few squalls are expected southeast of Lake Ontario. Light accumulation is possible from the Mohawk Valley points south and west. Also, keep in mind that a total lunar eclipse occurs tomorrow night, beginning around 8:30 PM and ending around Midnight.
A nice day is expected Thursday, with seasonable temperatures and hopefully some sunshine.

VILLAGE BOARD MEETING TONIGHT AT 7:00

at the Municipal Hall.

At the Cleary Farm on Route 315.

The snow that fell early yesterday morning didn't last long at all ......

At the foot of Grant Hill.

............. and by afternoon it seemed Springlike, again.

I understand that "Roc" entertained the ladies of the Waterville Women's Club, yesterday, with a tour of his ice cream manufactory!

I needed to go to Hamilton, however, and then wound my way home on back roads.

Where do the swans go in Winter?


Yes: I love my car! The navigational system always knows where I am, and - I admit it - I enjoy listening to "The Lone Ranger," "The Shadow" and "Sgt. Preston" as much now as I did sixty years ago!

I drove through Poolville, where there are some lovely old buildings .....

painted with bold combinations of colors.

This house is in Hubbardsville.

(I wonder if the community was named for - or by - the Hubbard who built the America Hotel and the building that is now the "Red Lion Pub.")

Speaking of famous buildings: have you ever been to Unity Hall?

(It has the most awesome acoustics!)

Speaking of History:

A blog-reader in New Jersey is searching for
descendants of
STEPHEN EDGERTON
d. Dec, 11, 1823 - buried in Sangerfield -
and/or his son
GUY EARL EDGERTON
d. April 23, 1871 - buried in Sangerfield.

Can any other blog-reader help?

Heading northward, over the Sangerfield River at the "orange bridge."


A snow squall and I arrived in Waterville at the same time .....

... a good time to head home!

Have a good day!!
