LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING

 At 7pm we are starting to have some wind gusts and the R has changed over to light snow.  I'm hoping the power stays on.  With no frost in the ground, trees will come down easy if we get the 50 mph winds that are in the forecast.

Old Man Winter fliped the switch!

 Temps have dropped, just like everywhere else and it's starting to look like winter in the north country.  

I made a call to the snowmobile trail dept. and asked about the Brantingham trail for the upcoming season.  If everything goes as planned the trail will be open for this riding season.  Cross your fingers they get everything buttoned up and we can start using it again.

Not much else going on.  Hope you have some fun plans for Thanksgiving and don't forget about Christmas on Main Street here in Old Forge if you're in the area.
