Winter and Snow Not Quite Done With Us Here In Mountaindale

Last night as I walked across Main Street here in downtown Mountaindale, saw the first large billowing snowflakes dropping down from the heavens above, and knew we were not done with winter just yet. This despite my own best efforts too speed the onset of spring by spending the past week and a half in shorts...I know, just a tad eccentric on my part, but think of it as a modern reincarnation of the rain dance, only this time calling on the heavens above to bring us spring, and bring it right now. By very early this morning, the streets of our small hamlet were covered in heavy, wet, slushy , even ugly snow that was resembling something more along the lines of a dirty gray, overly gigantic ice cone that had spilled from its cup onto our streets.

This reminder that winter was not quite ready to relinquish his cold grasp presents our little news blog with the perfect opportunity to thank our snow removal team who through the worst kinds of weather has our streets, clean and safe too travel on even after the worst winter storms...think Nor'easter. So, if you see Mike, Ken or Aaron in and around our community, be sure to thank them for a job well done.
