Snow thoughts

Well, the weather boys were close to getting one right yesterday.

I thought the way it was snowing yesterday into last evening, we were going to get the big one. But that white stuff changed to rain. Surprised it wasn't a little slicker out this morning on the roads.

Columbia boys can clinch a Lancaster-Lebanon League playoff spot with win over Pequea Valley tonight.

Was just up at the school on the hill taking pictures of the Honor Society inductees. Watch for the picture in next week's edition of the Columbia Ledger.
