Thanks to Sheri Brennan for these next shots.


Hanover Road, near Myles and Diane Cornish's home..

These next three photos of "Big Creek" are from Mary Ann Younes.


This view shows some of the "rip rap" that was put in place on the bank of the creek after a huge washout about 25 years ago.

The Wesslings, on Buell Ave., lost a huge chunk of back yard.


WCS SCHOOL DELAYED 2 HOURS

due to flooding on roads.

Check WKTV for latest closings.




As of 9:00, Route 315 was CLOSED to through traffic.




The Rt. 12 underpass.

See the little beige truck? It dove bravely in, going fast enough to make a really impressive amount of spray, made it through the water, but then stopped - dead!




Osborn Avenue.

I watched one car make it through, but saw two others turn around.

"Discretion is the better part of valour!"


The back yard at Lois Battle's home on Stafford Avenue.


Conger Avenue.



The Village Barn.

Use Caution on East Bacon Street and Conger Avenue.

More photos to follow in an hour or so.

It's Garbage Day

and it started out with a "bang!"

After a night of on and off thunderstorms and even tornado warnings, now - at 6:30 a.m. - "Big Creek" is certainly living up to its name!

I think I've only seen water this high ONCE, behind my house in Whiskey Hollow, in the last 25 years!



Please watch for flooding on roadways!

There are reports of flooding on Route 20 east of Sangerfield near Chittning Pond, south of Sangerfield on Mason Road and on Canning Factory Road.




From WKTV: "Flash Flood warnings in effect for Madison, Oneida, Herkimer, Otsego, and Chenango County until 9:30AM.

Thunderstorms overnight produced heavy rainfall and gusty winds across the area. Flash flooding will be an issue for your morning commute. There are multiple reports of road closures due to flash flooding. You'll want to check out our news section for the latest on that.

A cold front responsible for this strong weather is moving through Central New York. More rain showers are possible through about noon before the line moves out of the area. Drying out and turning breezy today with highs in the lower 70s.

Cooler weather by Friday, with sunshine returning for the first part of the weekend."

From Jody Barnes:

"MPS is accepting donations for school supplies such as #2 pencils, crayons, notebooks, glue sticks, rulers, clipboards, and folders. Items may be dropped off in the office during regular school hours on a continuous basis. We hope generous donations will decrease the financial stress on MPS families and the school."

YESTERDAY: "Suddenly Summer!"


"Raini" led her ladies on a tour of the Village.



Those who are lucky enough to have forsythia bushes - here, the Subas - are finally able to enjoy them in bloom.



Whether you call them "Adder's Tongue," "Trout Lily" or "Dog-toothed Violet," they were open yesterday!

(Click, please!)



Hardwoods are carpeted with wild leeks, ready for harvesting.

Why do that?

Two twelve-year-old "experts" will show you!
(Even if you have no intention of following their instructions, the video is delightful as well as informative!)
