Taking A Turn On The Ice About 60 first- and second-graders from Woodside Elementary put on some skates at Hailey’s Roberta McKercher Park to try out the ice during their winter activities time this week. The National Weather Service is predicting more of the same winter weather, with clouds moving in over the weekend. Daytime temperatures could reach above freezing during the days. Photo by David N.
