It's Garbage Day!

8.8 degrees with faint moonlight.

WKTV predicts that: "Cold air will slowly retreat Tuesday, with temperatures warming into the mid 20s. Only the outside threat of snow showers remains, mainly north.

The next storm is likely not going to look anything at all like the last two. It will arrive Tuesday night into Wednesday. It may start out as a brief period of snow and sleet, but quickly change over to plain rain. Temperatures will likely climb well above freezing, melting some of our snowpack. With the deep snowpack across the region, the current thinking is that this storm will only chew away a fraction of the snow out there. Snow showers are expected on Christmas Day.
Another storm may impact us Friday-Saturday, again with a mix."

YESTERDAY

Plenty of Foodking customers paused at the The Brothertown Music Boosters Bake Sale tables, picking out goodies to take home with them or buying raffle tickets for the Everything Disney Basket. The drawing was to take place around noon: perhaps someone will let me know who the winner was!

We had had another few inches of snow, on Saturday night, and it certainly felt like Winter. There was just a tiny patch of open water on the Grant Hill Pond attracting a conglomeration of Canada Geese and ducks.

At the Park, one of the very few remaining Christmas trees was being taken to a new home......

......... and, near Deansboro, the Frost family's front yard is completely filled with Christmas!

Snowblowers make cleanup easy ............

............ and, on Madison Street, Joe Nolan actually looked as if he were having fun!

At Nice 'n Easy, in Sangerfield, some snomobilers were headed North ...........

............. and others just pulled in off local trails to gas up, delighting in the double treat of new snow and ............

Whatever you do,

Drive Safely,

Shovel sensibly,

Stay Warm

and Have a Great Day!


In his 1856 Journal, Henry David Thoreau wrote, "How full of the creative genius is the air in which these are generated! I should hardly admire more if real stars fell and lodged on my coat."
