This is much better!

It's Garbage Day

and

27.7 degrees!

The WKTV forecast: "Lake effect snow showers and flurries will be the rule over the next two days. Clouds and snow showers will last through the majority of today, with accumulations of less than one inch for most areas. Temperatures hld steady in the upper 20s with a bit of a breeze this afternoon.

Light snow showers tonight and tomorrow, again with little accumulation.

A clipper system rolls south on Saturday, bringing a few flurries to the area. Colder weather returns early next week, with highs in the upper teens to lower 20s.

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

The DPW has spent the past two days removing snowbanks from both sides of Main Street

........... and folks like Mr. Wright on White Street keep up with the occasional flurries that leave fresh accumulations of a few inches.

The temperature reached the mid-thirties, yesterday afternoon, and Maggie took her people out for a walk ............

........... and Charlie and Scout were strolling with their mistress on Elmwood.

At 5:06 p.m. it was still light (sort-of!) on Main Street .................

.............. and a group of snomobilers was reconnoitering in the field next to Osborn Avenue.

IN THE MAIL

(Two fun letters!)

"What a great site. My Mom turned me on to this and it has really brought back a lot of memories. I was wondering if you could give a shout out to a few people I went to school with a long time ago, that I think of from time to time and more often now that I’ve found this site. I’m not really sure who’s around anymore, besides Tom Morgan, who remembered me, when I last visited. I know I’ve forgotten a few names, but here’s a few that I remember.

Tim Snyder (bowgadude buddies)

And, along the same line ..........

"Dear Huddleblogger,

Could you please assist me in obtaining information with regard to upcoming Waterville High School reunions (2011 in particular).

I am not sure who would be good contacts with regard to schedule, activities, locations. Maybe you could help with this inquiry.

I went to Waterville schools many years ago, and am planning to attend the 2011 reunion activities.

Thanks for any help.
Tim LeClair"

If someone will send messages and information to me I'll be glad to pass them along to Jim and Tim!
