Winter is not over yet. There's more coming (after tonight) sometime around March 8th.

Last I heard, we could get 3-5 inches of snow tonight. All the snow from last Friday has pretty much melted, but with a temp. of 15 at 7 am today, I'm sure we'll get more snow than rain tonight.

We did have more than a foot of snow on Easter 1970 (which fell on March 29th). Friends of ours got married that day, and what a mess getting to the church and then the reception. Many guests never made it. The following day we had no school -- that was the only snow day we had my senior year of high school. I sure was glad since our lovely English teacher had actually scheduled a test for that Monday after Easter. English was my 1st period class and boy was I glad to hear the fire whistle blow @ 7 am signalling "No School!".

GILFORD — The Winter Carnival activities put on by the Gilford Parks and Recreation Department have fallen victim of too much winter.

Parks and Recreation Director Herb Greene noted the cancellation of two of the events was due to poor road conditions and snow-filled parking lots at the time when the events were expected to begin.

Of the three events originally scheduled for Wednesday, the Cardboard Box Sled Derby was rescheduled to Friday beginning at 10 a.m.

For more information contact the Parks and Recreation Department by calling 524-4722.

The "Babes" Are Not Dancing!

I can attest to the fact the "The Babes" are no longer doing any kind of snow dance! The foot or so of snow currently on the ice has made snowmobile (or ATV) travel very difficult, and if we get the 8" - 12" of additional snow currently being forecast for tonight and tomorrow, conditions out there will be even worse.

QL, IG and I had kept our sleds on the ice this past week in anticipation of some fun this coming weekend, but we all took our sleds off the ice this afternoon and they are currently back on their respective trailers. Enough snow already!!!
