Letter to the Editor: Truly Orwellian

By WP Newsroom
6/18/13 - 3:21 pm

Dear Editor,

Is it only me or does the weather feel weird these days. In late May, we had temperatures in the 40's accompanied by rain and strong wind. Usually, cold temperatures in late May are associated with clear weather and high pressure- not wind and rain. We had a few very hot days followed by 2 weeks of heavy rain-one storm after another. But instead of the wind being from the south, it's coming from the north and west. Currently, on the evening of June 11, temperatures are in the low 50's; it's windy and wet. Getting cabin fever in June, I went for a walk and there were large numbers of fireflies! It's too early and too cold for fireflies. Things just don't feel normal. Maybe I'm primed to find abnormal weather or maybe the weather really is weird. Read more

A five-month investigation into local drug activity in Delaware County has netted eight arrests, county police announced today. Five women and three men were arrested recently and charged with a variety of heroin- and prescription-drug-related offenses.

According to a statement from the Delaware County Sheriff's Office, the arrests were made after a county grand jury handed down a number of sealed indictment warrants on Friday, June 14. The investigation and arrests were carried out by sheriff's deputies along with the Delaware County Probation Department, the Walton and Sidney village police departments, the Chenango County Sheriff's Office and New York State Police.

The investigation is ongoing, and undersheriff Craig DuMond said more arrests are pending.

Storm tracking south, but flood watches still in effect

By Lissa Harris
6/13/13 - 10:26 am

A rainfall prediction issued by the National Weather Service in Binghamton early Thursday morning, calling for 2 to 3 inches of rain in the southwestern Catskills region.

The latest forecasts for a rainstorm sweeping through the area Thursday and into Friday are calling for slightly less rain than originally predicted in some areas, but flood watches remain in effect throughout the Catskills region.

As the rainstorm has moved into the area from the southwest, it has tracked slightly more south than initially expected, Hudson Valley Weather reported late Wednesday night:

Storm looks to be taking a more southerly track and also a bit weaker as well. While the HV is still under the gun for a 1-3 inch rainfall the 4-5 inches looks a bit less likely. While the 2-3 is still enough to cause some issues with flooding it is a better solution. If the storm trends any further south we may see another reduction is projected rainfall. Read more
