GARBAGE DAY


****************************

VILLAGE BOARD MEETING at 7:00

*****

Yesterday, when I was riding around looking for a place to take pictures of the fire in Deansboro, I passed this wonderfully bright green lawn on Lumbard Road!

The brief "January thaw" that gave me that view, also resulted in these conditions on the Marshall Trail.

Snowmobilers and Cross-country skiiers might think of heading North!

The Weather Forecast From WKTV: "*Lake effect snow warning has been issued for Lewis County from Sunday afternoon until Monday night.*

*Lake effect snow advisory has been issued for Northern Oneida County from Sunday night until Monday night.*

Lake effect snow has begun to develop across the Tug Hill and North Country. The lake effect band may shift down to Northern Oneida County Monday morning before moving back north during the afternoon. In addition, some snow showers off of Lake Erie are reaching all the way into Central NY this evening. Once the wind shifts, the snow showers will wind down, with the exception of the North Country. Outside of the lake effect snow, the weather will remain quiet with partly sunny skies and seasonable temperatures.

Another chance for light snow showers arrives on Tuesday with the potential for yet another coastal storm by the end of the work week."

A Reminder



Suggested reading!

"Horizontal Hydrofracking of Shale Gas in New York"

*************

I did a little digging of my own - online! -
and found that:

although Oneida County does not seem to have a "study" available, there is a list of 71 wells that have been dug in the past 20 years or so. Only seven have been attempted in Sangerfield Township and, of those, just a couple seem to be operating.

This, however, is interesting!

Gas / Oil Well Status in Madison County
which, of course, includes large areas to the south and west of Waterville.
