thom@denpubs.com NORTH CREEK — Less than a year after negotiating a contract with Warren County, owners of the Saratoga and North Creek Railway are seeking to re-draft the agreement to temporarily cap their ongoing payments to use the county rail line, and share the cost of about $1 mil-

lion in track upgrades with the county.

The proposal calls for the county to temporarily forego its contractual 6 percent slice of the railway revenue beyond a minimum of $81,958 — in return for Iowa Pacific investing about $1 million up front in upgrades to the county track that stretches between Corinth and North Creek.

THURMAN — AT&T recently announced the activation of a new mobile broadband cell site in Warren County. New areas of coverage for residents and businesses in Adirondack Park include Daggett Pond, Pack Forest Lake and along Route 28 between Warrensburg and Wevertown.

“Every activation means better economic opportunity and improved life saving communication here in the Adirondacks,” said Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury).

With mobile broadband speeds, AT&T customers can surf the Web, download files faster, and enjoy the latest interactive mobile applications.

"Delivering dependable wireless coverage for consumers and businesses who need to stay connected to work, family and friends is critical,” said Amy Hines Kramer, regional vice president of external affairs, AT&T New York.

The new cell site is one part of AT&T’s ongoing efforts to drive investment and innovation to deliver mobile broadband experience for customers.

“Our goal is for our customers to have an extraordinary experience throughout Adirondack Park. As part of the community, we’re always looking for new opportunities to provide enhanced coverage, and our investment in the local wireless network is just one way we’re accomplishing that and helping to drive the local economy,” said Robert Holliday, vice president and general manager Upstate New York AT&T.

Johnsburg fire contract stuck on details

By John Grybos

jgrybos@denpubs.com WEVERTOWN — The Johnsburg fire district departments still have no contract after the chiefs all gathered for a second public meeting to pass their new contract.

The town of Johnsburg introduced a new fire contract last summer after many years with the same two-page agreement. The new document was full of specific clauses demanding responses to emergencies the fire department volunteers weren't equipped for that the chiefs found dissatisfying. They wanted to return to their traditional contract, but legal advice to the town said the new contract was standard and comparable to other locales. A temporary contract was enacted last summer.

So the fire departments got a lawyer to protect their interests, and the town and fire district lawyers hammered out a contract that should have been agreeable to both parties.

But the town board didn't agree, at least not the majority. Kate Nightingale didn't make the meeting, so there were four board members to put to vote.

After the public hearing raised questions about a late payment charge of 5.5 percent to the town and what the Volunteer Firefighters' Benefit Law cited in the contract is, board member Pete Olesheski tried to force immediate action with authoritative motions to close the hearing and pass the contract. But fellow councilmen Arnold Stevens and Gene Arsenault couldn't agree with the

contract as it was presented. Without a fifth member, Town Supervisor Ron Vanselow and Olesheski's aye votes made a deadlock — twice as Vanselow tried to pass the contract later in the meeting.

The late payment fee was negotiable, said the board, though it seems to show undue distrust for a small-town fire district agreement.

“It's not a dealbreaker,” said Stevens. “It's not a hill I'm willing to die on.”

Vanselow throughout discussion on the fire contract alluded to a problem department in the district, and said the contract needed half-steps for accountability. It

shouldn't be a make-or-break contract, he said, there should be a process for airing grievances before a contract is severed.

North River Fire Chief John Donahue, who's headed the conversation with the town board for the fire district, said a chief steers their department as best he can.

“It's all snap decisions. It's all two o'clock in the morning decisions,” said Donahue.

The lack of an approved contract got to the fire chiefs, and some were markedly upset after the second failure of the meeting.

“There's absolutely no way they're going to get their payment in March,” said Olesheski, who apologized to the firefighters for

the delays.

“Every time we come to the town board it's a new issue, it's a new issue,” said Donahue.

“Now we've got five more issues.”

The contract identifies the payment due date as March 15, 2011, a figure pointed out as already late by an audience member, and probably indicative of a poorly-crafted contract. The individual departments are due $38,912.65 in March 2012, and $40,000 in March 2013 under the contract.

In other town news: •Vanselow said the town has identified several new spots to mine sand for the roads, and the town engineer found that approval for a mining permit should only take about four months. This should take care of the looming sand reserve issue.

•FrontStreet's lawyers asked the town to approve their water lines, already OK'd by Johnsburg's lawyer and engineer, and to release some of their construction bonding.

•The Tannery Pond Community Center needs a new compressor for its HVAC system at a cost of $2,500 to $2,800. The board approved the cost.

•The Bluegrass Festival use of the Ski Bowl Park was approved for 2012.

•Highway Superintendent Dan Hitchcock got early approval for posting weight limits on the roads for the freeze/thaw spring cycle.

•Denise Conti and Anne Morse were reappointed to the Library Board of Trustees.

•Water rents were raised by $115 for two buildings that have an apartment that have so far not been charged for.

Broadband access critical to Adirondack life

N

ot long ago, having a high-speed data connection to the Internet was considered a luxury. But in recent years, broadband access is not just considered a convenience, it’s a foundation of modern life. For both adults and children, it’s virtually a necessity for work, commerce and education.

In many schools, children are expected to have broadband access at home. Students are instructed to receive assignments and check homework updates on interactive websites, and to communicate with their teachers off-hours via email.

College applications are now completed on websites. People applying for jobs or college admission are expected to submit resumes and information online.

Businesses need this connectivity to stay competitive and survive, whether it’s marketing to customers, dealing with suppliers, or securing sales.

Real estate agents in the Adirondacks and other resort areas report that people seeking to relocate want to know if Internet broadband access is available before they buy property. Hotel and inn proprietors are questioned whether their accommodations have broadband connections and Wi-Fi before vacationers book a room.

Routine banking functions are conducted over the Internet. Patients are increasingly expected to obtain medical test results and communicate with their doctors over the Internet.

However, most small communities in the Adirondacks don’t have broadband access, except for satellite service, which can be unreliable and expensive. DSL service in the region is limited. Many of our area residents have only dial-up service, which isn’t practical in the modern world.

Regardless of the accelerating trend nationally to have employees work from home, it just isn’t happening here. Instead, we’ve seen a steep decline in populations of towns in the core areas of the Adirondacks. The reason, many believe, is due to the lack of broadband access.

In 2009, the Adirondack Regional Assessment Project determined that broadband access in the region was quite limited. The study revealed that only 5 percent of Adirondack communities had widespread broadband access, and these were primarily the moneyed resort towns — or situated on the perimeter of the Adirondack Park.

This and other studies have indicated that lack of broadband is hampering businesses, curbing job growth, and throttling

tourism. Development of broadband infrastructure has been identified as critical for economic vitality in the Adirondacks.

While the sparse populations scattered over wide areas of the Adirondacks presents a challenge to providing broadband through conventional technologies, recent regulatory developments and technological advances offer hope.

A small-scale broadband project in the southern Adirondacks appears to offer a promising solution that might be applicable to vast areas of the Park.

In Thurman, an entrepreneur is working with the town government to bring fast, affordable broadband to the town’s 1,200 households. The access is based on broadcasting digital signals over the “white space” between television station signals on the radio-wave spectrum. The Internet connection through this technology is up to eight times faster than satellite. The system transmits signals from dozens of existing telephone poles throughout the rural town to small antennas at households.

The technology is promising, because it works over hilly terrain, and transmits through foliage, unlike other digital broadcast options.

We at Denton Publications hail the initiative.

Now, it’s time for action from all levels of government —to go beyond mere studies and jargon-filled proclamations. Our political leaders need to step forward and encourage such initiatives like the one under way in Thurman.

Our politicians should stop giving mere lip service to expansion of rural broadband and take action to develop policies that prompt competition, encouraging local start-ups to utilize various technologies for local broadband networks that fit the requirements of the local terrain and population. This may mean simply relaxing regulations or decreasing bureaucratic permit requirements, or it may mean aggressively pursuing grant funding.

Such action is important to our region’s economic health, as well as preserving the unique culture and lifestyle of the Adirondacks.

of one or the other of these two chemical signals, caused the most dominant mouse to become the most submissive and a more submissive one to become the dominant one.

In a related study using monkeys, it has been found that housing these animals in larger groups increased the amount of nerve cell density in specific regions of their brains and that greater cell density in these areas was associated with a higher social ranking within the group. Similarly, brains of humans who have large social networks have subtle anatomical differences from those who have small social networks. The research with monkeys implies these differences may be an effect, not a cause, of the social network size of individuals.

Thus we have not only greatly advanced our understanding of the chemical and cellular underpinnings of brain functioning but are now beginning to correlate changes at that level with those at the behavioral and social levels. Hopefully, this type of research will ultimately lead to improved treatment of some of the disabling ‘mental’ disturbances that afflict our species.

Question of the Month

If you could talk to animals, what would you say?

Mrs. Knickerbocker's JCS kindergarten: “I would want to talk to a rabbit. I'd say, 'I like bunny rabbits.'”

Harley Caunter “I would want to a zebra, because zebras are my favorite animals. I would say, “Hello!”

Corbin DeGroat Mrs. Flanagan's JCS kindergarten: “I would say, 'Are you thirsty?'”

Cole Sears “I would ask if it wanted some water.'”

Brian Burkhardt “I would say, 'Are you tired?'”

Liam McGowin Mrs. Williford's MCS kindergarten: “I would ask the fishes to carry me on their backs.”

Breanna Hayes “I would ask my bunny if she would like me to play in her cage with her.”

Nathan McNally Mrs. Mosher's JCS second grade: “You look beautiful today and your fur is very soft.”

Cassie Dunbar “Do you want to walk with me in the

woods?”

Ethan Dunbar “Would you like to climb in the trees with me?”

Cameron Heffernan “Why would you eat leaves all day?”

Gage LaMott Mrs. Sherwood's JCS second grade: “I would talk to a reindeer. I would ask how they fly. I would ask another question.

I would ask how they stay awake so late on Christmas Eve.” Madison Buck “I would ask an elephant why it has a trunk.”

Evin Morehouse Mrs. Watson's JCS third grade: “If I could talk to a dolphin, I would say, 'How is life underwater?' and the dolphin would say, 'It's nice underwater.' I would say that because I would be curious about her life underwater. Then I would say, 'What do you eat?' Then she would say, 'Dolphins eat fish, squid and crabs.'

Sierra Dunkley “I would say, 'Do you have those little pads on the bottom of your paws? We can watch a movie together. Do you eat pop-

corn?'”

Madison Green “If I could talk to bears, I would tell them to be my pet. They would probably say okay.

I would say thank you. They would say you're welcome. Then they would be my pet for five years.

Dominic Brouthers “I would talk to a panda bear. I would say, 'How do you panda bears live in the forest of China? Why are you endangered animals?

Why are you in a zoo?'”

Mariya Dunkley “If I could talk to a grizzly bear, I would say, “How are you grizzly bear? What are you doing? Where do you get your food?

Where do you live?'”

Anthony Galle Mrs. Hayden's JCS fourth grade: “I would start with my pets. I always wonder what my pets say when they bark, meow or cluck. It would be cool to know what the birds are really saying when they are singing in the summer. After I talked with my pets, I would go to a zoo. Because it would also be cool to know what lions, tigers bears or even pigs say! Talking to animals would be awesome!

Hester's History (cont.)

My father, Luke Rist, worked on the farm and raised potatoes, corn, oats, rye and buckwheat. He cut hay and wood to sell; he also sold potatoes. He nearly always had horses and a nice big flock of cattle and many sheep. I was told that at one time he owned and kept two hundred sheep, although I think I never counted them, but I never doubted that with the sheep and the lambs there were two hundred. We children helped to care for them.

My father was a Christian man and had at times even preached the gospel and always through his life and the life of my mother with him. They harbored and entertained ministers and Christian workers.

In spite of his many years of manual labor, he always took time for family prayers in the home two or three times a day and did always take time to attend church and gospel services — many times taking loads of people in his wagon and sleighs to church. He often told us children, "You have got the best mother in the world."

Railroad tracks from page 1 surpass that figure, prompting the end of the temporary cap in three to four years.

Supervisors questioned whether the cap might leave a shortfall in the 2012 county budget. County Superintendent of Public Works Jeff Tennyson replied that only the $81,958 was penned into the budget as revenue. He noted that the primary impact of Iowa Pacific’s proposal was that the county’s repair reserves wouldn’t accrue as fast in the next few years.

Hors D’Oeuvres Tour slated for Feb. 16 LONG LAKE — On Thursday, Feb. 16 from 6 to 9 p.m., the Town of Long Lake and area restaurants open up the doors for the 3rd Annual Hors D’Oeuvres Tour.

Venues for 2012 are The Cellar Restaurant and Pub, The Adirondack Hotel, The Long Lake Diner & Owl’s Head Pub and Quackenbush’s Long View Wilderness Lodge.

Advanced tickets are $25/$30 day of. Reservations are requested by Feb. 13 by calling the Parks Department (518) 624-3077.

had purchased insurance to cover major bridge failures.

Simpson said that the railway hosted 52,251 passengers between July 23 and Dec. 31, and expected to reach 90,000 for the first full year of operation. Eighty percent, he said, were boarding the train in Saratoga.

The track upgrades would include about 1,170 feet of new rail, and new ties — an average of 80 per mile — as well as 84,000 feet of new ballast, or crushed stone foundation under the rails.

Crossings would also be improved.

The result, Ellis said, would be a decrease in travel time between Saratoga and North Creek by up to 15 minutes, reduced unexpected delays to the schedule and a smoother ride for passengers.

Ellis noted that the improvements wouldn’t allow the trains to move faster, however, than the 30 m.p.h. limit for Class 2 track under

federal regulations. Upgrading to allow a far higher speed wasn’t possible because of tight curves in the northern portions of the route, he said.

County officials said the upgrades were to improve the rail line for the long term and to avoid expensive short-term repairs, most likely with the expectation of carrying freight over the line.

The existing contract calls for Iowa Pacific to pay taxes on the line — about $14,000 per year — maintenance costs, as well as track repairs less than $50,000.

Iowa Pacific is also currently seeking state transportation grant money to help bankroll track improvement. A source at the county said that the track improvements were being pursued

by Iowa Pacific with the anticipation of transporting freight over the line.

Iowa Pacific has applied to federal transportation au-

Letters to the Editor More on Tahawus railroad spur

Thoughts on railroads, resort

To the News Enterprise: This is to comment on Glenn Pearsall's letter of Jan. 25 on this subject. First, my intention in my letter was not to be so presumptuous as to give anyone a "history lesson" on this subject. I did not write that headline.

Second, there are several dictionary definitions for "wanton." My use of the word when I said that the federal government wantonly violated the Forest Preserve when they took the right-of-way for the rail spur was"having no regard for justice or the rights of other persons." In fact, the feds were moving so fast that they started to cut down the Forest Preserve before bothering to initiate eminent domain proceedings, putting the State in the embarrassing position of either enforcing our State constitution, as they were sworn to do, and be accused of holding up the war effort, or just turning a blind eye. Their solution was to get the feds to speed up the eminent domain process — also embarrassing on the record.

Putting jobs over the State constitution is not the right way to go, especially when taking out waste rock (that can be obtained from quarries anywhere) and magnetite iron ore tailings from solidly frozen piles that only have a few years of life left in them will produce only about 5 or 6 jobs at most. Just a couple of NL Industry employees were needed to load the magnetite ore tailings that have been sold since the 1990s and moved by truck.

Charles C. Morrison Member, Board of Directors Protect the Adirondacks!

To the News Enterprise: When reading your most recent piece on the reopening of the D&H rail line and in thinking about the approval of the Adirondack Resort in Tupper Lake, I was reminded of the Pied Piper story. Here the children of an old township are led away by the enchanting music of the Piper ’s magic flute as their minds are filled with blissful visions.

With the Pied Piper of economic prosperity once again playing his flute I, too, listen but through the filter of skepticism.

The way I understand it we are to fully support the rail line that will require a substantial investment of time and money to fix the line, clear the track, and repair the bridges just to haul out stone from the Tahawas facility. Then when the stone runs out the line will once again stop at North River and haul garnet out from Barton Mines. All this justifies the time and expense as well as the potential impact on the experience of other users.

By the same token, Tupper Lake and Franklin County are to risk investing in the infrastructure for the resort project on the promise that home owners will beat a path to Tupper Lake; in this real estate market?

Forgive me for being skeptical, but I would like more than just the assurances of the limited piles of tailings. Oh the sweet sound of the flute!

Jeff Dickinson Indian Lake

thorities to being hauling freight across the 28.7 stretch of tracks between North Creek and Tahawus.

Based on objections by environmental groups, the federal Surface Transportation Board initially denied Iowa Pacific’s petition for an expedited permit to operate on the line, and the rail firm has appealed the decision, which is expected to prompt a full review by the agency.

The environmental groups seek to have the rail bed returned to Forest Preserve.

Ellis has said that the 29-7 mile stretch has always been privately held, and federal

endorsement of its use may not be necessary.

Iowa Pacific had announced its intent to haul thousands of tons of mine tailings away from the NL industries mine at Tahawus.

Warren County officials, support Iowa Pacific’s plan, because it would not only create needed jobs and economic activity, but clean up an expansive rock pile in what is considered a pristine area.

Jan. 20, the county Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution supporting Iowa Pacific’s intent to resume freight service along the line, and they vowed to

records: 1) those that are required to be made available pursuant to the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL); 2) and proposed resolutions, law, rules, regulations, policies or amendments thereto.

When these records are scheduled to be discussed, they must be made available to the public “to the extent practicable, either prior to or at the meeting.”

In order to comply with the amendment, copies of records must be made available to the public prior to or at the meeting for a reasonable fee or by posting them online prior to the meeting.

from page 1 its content prior to the meeting. Although the public has the right to be present, the ability to understand or contribute to the decision-making process may be minimal and frustrating.”

This change to the Open Meetings Law was made so “those interested in the work of public bodies should have the ability, within reasonable limitations, to see the records scheduled to be discussed during open meetings prior to the meetings.”

The change to the law centers around two types of

lobby legislators to enable it.

Various towns in the region, as well as the Essex County Board of Supervisors and the Intercounty Legislative Committee of the Adirondacks, have also passed resolutions supporting train travel along the line.

When the Warren County Supervisors voted for the measure, staunch railway opponent William Kenny, Glens Falls 5th Ward Supervisor, even voted for the measure — his first ever favorable vote on a railway issue. His action prompted applause and cheers from the other supervisors.

Government also defines which boards are required to put this material on their websites: “If the agency in which a public body functions (i.e., a state department, a county, city, town, village or school district) ‘maintains a regularly and routinely updated website and utilizes a high speed internet connection,’ the records described above that are scheduled to be discussed in public ‘shall be posted on the website to the extent practicable as determined by the agency…’

The state recommends that agencies put their materials online to save costs associated with requests made under FOIL.

Willsboro 48, Johnsburg 24

Indian Lake/Long Lake 36 King's School 35

JOHNSBURG — Willsboro shut out the Jaguars with a 14-0 first quarter Feb. 3 and maintained a lead in all quarters for the decisive win over the home team.

Taylor Ordway led scoring in the Jaguar effort with 10 points. Chet Prouty added 7.

HADLEY — King's opened play with a 128 first quarter, but the Orange responded with a 13-7 third that gave them the edge to win Feb. 1.

Colin Farrell led Orange scoring with 14 points. Henry Sandiford followed with 11, including a three-pointer.

Minerva/New. 58, Lake Placid 42 OLMSTEDVILLE — The Mountaineers played a solid mid-game, building a 15point lead in quarters three and four for their decisive Feb. 3 win.

M/N's Morgan Winslow led game scoring with 18 points, including two three-pointers.

Austin Williams added 16.

Lake Placid 43 Indian Lake/Long Lake 34 LAKE PLACID — The Orange opened strong with a 15-2 first quarter, but Lake Placid immediately responded with a 16-9 second and led long during the endgame for the decisive home with Feb. 6.

IL/LL's Matt Moore led team scoring with 13 points including two three-pointers. Henry Sandiford and Curtis Seaman each added 8.

Girls basketball Indian L./Long L. 52, Keene 20 INDIAN LAKE — The Orange opened play with a 15-5 first quarter, leading by 30 points by halftime in the runaway home win Feb. 1. Meg Smith led IL/LL scoring with 11 points. Jessica Bain followed closely with 10.

Schroon Lake 70, Johnsburg 34 JOHNSBURG — Johnsburg trailed distantly, 36-12, by halftime, and Schroon Lake only increased their lead in the second half Feb. 6. Chet Prouty led Jaguar scoring with 12. Taylor Ordway added 9 in the effort.

Johnsburg’s Zach Watson gets ready to pass the ball during the Feb. 7 game against Crown Point.

INDIAN LAKE/LONG LAKE — After the success of one year ago, most people were looking for a dip in the performance of the Indian Lake/Long Lake varsity girls basketball team.

After all, their leading scorer, Carli Reynolds, was off to college, along with a majority of the team’s offense. Certainly they could not come even close to repeating that 2010-11 success without those pieces.

Or could they?

The Lady Orange have been a force in the Mountain and Valley Southern Division this season, compiling a record of 12-2 and poised to once again be a top seed in the Section VII/Class D playoffs.

It’s success like this that turns basketball teams into basketball programs, and head coach John Reynolds knows that.

“I would hope that people think of us as a basketball program, certainly,” Reynolds said. “We have won our division three years in a row, been to the sectional semifinals twice and won the sectional title last season.”

Reynolds said that the success has brought in players with a desire to play winning basketball.

“Winning breeds more winning,” he said.

“I don’t think people expected us to do what we have this season, but this has been just so much fun.”

Reynolds said that offense has been a work in progress for his team, but that their commitment to the defensive end of the floor has allowed them to score a lot of key wins, including one over northern division leader Elizabethtown-Lewis.

“We are young and tall,” he said. “The girls are starting to look for their shot more and when we can get into the half court offense, we are able to run our plays.”

Reynolds said that he is very happy for the players on the 2011-12 squad, who he feels have, “paid their dues,” to get to where they are.

“One of the reasons that we have remained good is because we had good, competitive practices over the past three years,” he said.

“This is a great opportunity for those kids who have paid their dues and they are such cool kids. They are smart, they listen and they work hard. They are just fun to be around.”

NEWCOMB — The Mountaineers stayed well out of reach for the Jaguars Feb. 1, scoring a 19-0 third quarter in their decisive

home victory.

M/N's Gabriel McNally led game scoring with 15 points. Renna Yandon added 14.

Johnsburg scoring was led by Brooke Denno's 6, all three-pointers.

Westport 41, Indian L./Long L. 24 WESTPORT — The Orange couldn't keep up with the pace set by Willsboro, trailing 17 at the end of the third. They played a tied fourth Feb. 2. The Orange's Meg Smith led team scoring with 8 points.

Willsboro 47, Johnsburg 26 JOHNSBURG — Willsboro's 15-6 second and 13-5 fourth set a lead too long for the Jaguars to overcome Feb. 2.

Johnsburg's Brooke Denno led team scoring with 8 points including a three-pointer.

Astasia Myler added 5, also earning a three.

Indian Lake/Long Lake 32 Minerva/Newcomb 26 NEWCOMB — The Mountaineers played a 15-10 fourth, but after being shut out 7-0 in the second half were too far behind to catch up to the Orange Feb. 6.

The Orange's Meg Smith led game scoring with 12 points. Morgan Hinckley followed with 8.

Gabriel McNally earned 9 for the Mountaineers. Makenzie Winslow tallied 8.

Schroon Lake 46, Johnsburg 31 JOHNSBURG — Schroon Lake opened up scoring in the second half, pulling well ahead of the Jaguars for the Feb. 6 home loss.

Mikayla Glode led Jaguar scoring with 13 points. Brooke Denno tallied 7, including her team's only three-pointer.

There’s a history of Adirondack winters with little snow

F

or those who need snow for the enjoyment of their favorite winter sport, this has been a frustrating season as above normal temperatures and below normal snowfall have resulted in a lack of significant snow cover.

However, this is not an unprecedented year as there have been other years with very little snowfall. One always remembers the 1980 Winter Olympics when there was so little snow that artificial snow was made and spread on the cross-country trails at Mt. Van Hoevenberg in order for the cross-country ski race to be held there.

More recently, in the winter of 2006-2007, we had only 3 inches on the ground at the end of January. This lack of natural snow lasted until the Valentines Day storm which dumped 29.8 inches on the 14th and 15th.

During the winter of 2000-2001 there was not a lot of snow until March when we received 59.2 inches, the most for any month on record. At the end of that March we had 38 inch-

es of snow on the ground here in Riparius. Our maple sap buckets were put out directly on foot and taken down on snowshoes, the opposite of what happens most seasons. So

those who like snow may yet get their wish.

The average high temperature was 29.2 degrees and the average low was 14.6 degrees giving us an average of 21.9 degrees, 3.5 degrees above normal and the 8th warmest on record. The warmest Januarys were in 1995 and 2002 when the average was 26.9 degrees and the coldest was in 1994 when the average was 8.3 degrees. The highest temperature, 40 degrees, was recorded on the 7th and the lowest, -11 degrees, was recorded on the 16th. There were 6 days with below zero readings compared to an average of 7. There were 1335 degree days bring our seasonal total to 4096.

Melted precipitation for the month was 2.93 inches, with the greatest amount, 1.08 inches, falling on the 26th and 27th. Measurable precipitation fell on 16 days.

Snowfall was again below normal as only 13.4 inches fell, 6.4 inches below normal. We have had 11 winters with less snow in January, with only 3 inches falling in 1992. The total snowfall may be surprising to some but there was measurable snow on 14 days. However, most of the days were under 2 inches, with the largest snowfall being only 5.4 inches on the 12th. Our seasonal total is now 28 inches, 14.6 inches below the normal of 42.6 inches.

The river reached its highest level, 4.79 feet, on the 29th, and its lowest level, 3.51 feet on the 10th.
