It's 28 degrees and cloudy.
The snow, which began last evening, has stopped, leaving us with an additional two or three inches of white.
This is what the little tree outside of the Pesto residence on Babbott Avenue looked like before the snow -- there's probably no sign of greenery at all, now!
The ice at "the Caves" in Forge Hollow has a lovely pale bluish tinge to it, now.
Water flowing from a nearby spring never seems to completely freeze and it's not unusual to see someone filling containers for home use. This practice has gone on for years and years, but it comes with a cautionary note: the water has NOT been found potable - that is, it may not be safe to use as drinking water.
From WKTV: Lake snows will end Saturday evening as high pressure briefly builds in, leading to a nice Sunday. Another couple inches are possible in spots before then. Then on Monday as warm air floods toward CNY, light rain may break out in the morning. Temperatures may still be below freezing at this time, so some light freezing rain is possible. Then on Tuesday and Wednesday a more substantial storm is going to come barrelling up the East Coast. This will mean rain, snow or a mix for CNY.

One of my favorite old barns - on the north side of Route 20 a bit west of Route 12B - it seems to be leaning and, probably won't be there for many more years.

From this morning's O-D: Fire Strikes Garage in Oriskany Falls.
I have this note from Mrs. Stephan: "The Waterville Book Discussion Group is reading Ann Tyler's Digging to America. The group will meet next on Wednesday, March 26th at 1:30 p.m. at the Waterville Library for refreshments and good conversation. Call the library at 841-4651 to request that a copy of the book to be reserved for you."
And Mrs. Martin writes: "The Crimson Bonnets (Waterville Red Hatters) met on February 28th at 'VJ's' in Hamilton. 'VJ's' is a fairly new diner in Hamilton across from McDonald's. The turnout was small - around 15 members. All members ordered off the menu and enjoyed comparing dishes. Everyone was very full and satified with their meal. Gail Dwyer and Vera Barnes made all the arrangements and furnished sweet treats for all."

If you're a regular viewer of "Mohawk Valley Living," you won't need this link, but you can catch up with many of their shows by going to their page Youtube, or you can - for instance - watch just one of their visits to neaby communities, like West Winfield.

Yankee Fans get their turn to cheer, today, when the Yanks open their Grapefruit League Season with a visit to the Philadelphia Phillies.
