Can you believe that we were in a Winter Storm Watch yesterday, and it's only the middle of October?!?!?! The county directly south, Tioga County, is in a Winter Storm Warning until Saturday…
Another busy weekend has come and gone, and even though it was a three day weekend, it sure didn't feel like it. I guess that's because I'm starting to feel the crunch of leaving in a little over two…
