What Spring?

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Wednesday, March 21, 2018

Ken Collins’ camera caught some snow scenes this morning after a 3-inch snow fell on the first day of Spring. Slippery roads early this morning caused school cancellation. Ken’s photos catch a few robins hunkering down, probably wishing they stayed longer in the South. In the last photo the blue jay seems to be saying, “Why all the fuss, I live here year round.” Village employees and ONU personnel were out early clearing roadways and sidewalks.
