Sights Seen in January's First Week

After the Boxing Day blizzard, a "nuisance" snowfall just dusted the city last week. Coming our way according to the National Weather Service: A mid-week storm with possibly eight inches of snow.

Seen on the walk home from the Democratic City Committee meeting: Blue and white lights twinkle on the evergreens at the new Police Memorial.

If life (or your local supermarket) gives you lemons like these, don't make lemonade - make a call to the Health Division. Only trouble, markets normally just get checked once a year, leaving plenty of time to diss the urban consumer with bad produce.

Steam in the snow? Credit the big press that was smoothing out fill for potholes in the Twin City parking lot.

Walking around the city is always interesting, though snow and ice add perhaps a little too much drama for the average elder pedestrian.

  1. FYI - the machine working on the pothole repair is an infra-red heater. The device heats up the entire road surface around the pothole so the repair becomes integrated with the existing road surface. This makes for a much more permanent repair than simply filling the hole and tamping it into place.
