Brrrr!
It's just Zero, here in the Hollow.

WKTV's meteorologist says: "This morning is the coldest start to the morning all winter long. Temperatures are starting out well below zero this morning, with locations across the North Country and Adirondacks -10 to -20! Look for temperatures to quickly rise into the single digits this morning with plenty of sunshine. High clouds will move in throughout the late morning and early afternoon, as our next weather maker moves in.
Light snow will break out as early as the mid to late afternoon. The evening commute will feature light snow, with perhaps a dusting to an inch on the ground. Snow will continue tonight, with the heaviest and steadiest accumulations across the North Country. By the time all is said and done, 1-3" is possible in the Mohawk Valley, 3-5" elsewhere, with higher amounts in the North Country."
I had an E-note from Lyn in Arkansas, who wrote:
"A friend of mine sent me the pictures of your recent snow. For a Southerner who rarely sees this much snow, it is awesome!! Wish we could enjoy it for just one day. Pictures are great." (Thanks, Lyn!)
And thanks, too, to Kristin Strohmeyer who wrote to say that she'd seen "a flock of apparently misguided robins" on Route 315!

To any blog-readers who have ever "winter camped," it's a perfect Chubb Pond Morning!
The most important thing to know about today is:
St. Bridget's Complaint
It is believed this tradition was started in 5th century Ireland when St. Bridget complained to St. Patrick about women having to wait for so long for a man to propose. According to legend, St. Patrick said the yearning females could propose on this one day in February during the leap year. (St. Bridget was five years old, at the time!)
Go for it, Girl!!!!

From this week's issue of the Clinton Courier: "The Kirkland Planning Board voted 4-0 Monday night to approve three wind energy turbines for Spring Farm Cares on Route 12 after two years of often tense deliberations and a lawsuit filed agfrieved neighbors. The final deliberation on the project was acrried out under the watchful eye of a Kirkland police officer."

I'm having a particularly hard time getting Blogspot's attention, this morning, and am not able to upload any more photographs at this time. I'll add them as soon as the situation improves.
I can tell you that I saw lots and lots of snowmobile trails, yesterday, and there'll no doubt be a great many riders out this weekend.
Please Drive Safely, everyone!
