WKTV is reporting that the searching continues for Greg Williams, 47, of Stafford Avenue, who disappeared on New Year's Day after leaving a note telling his family that he was going coyote hunting. He usually hunted on Tassel Hill.


The Forest Rangers' mobile command was on site early yesterday, and the Red Cross Disaster Relief Unit arrived to take care of the searchers.


The parking lot behind the Fire House was filled with vehicles including several snowmobile trailers and some from TV stations.

Christmas trees and poinsettia are on their way out; Amaryllis and Paper Whites are blooming.


In the center of the village, the "snow mountain" in the Post Office parking lot is just starting to grow!


Two friendly "snowmen" wave to passersby at the top of Sanger Hill!


Out in the countryside, wind has whipped snow into frothy-looking banks of "meringue.

You can look from Brothertown Road across the Oriskany Valley and see huge icicles hanging on the walls of the quarry .........


........... and from Hanover, you can see beyond the Zweifel Farms all the way to Hamilton Hill.


Out a Bailey Lake, tracks made by ice fishermen pulling sleds.


Some deer found a place to forage in the sun.

Have a warm, safe weekend, everyone!
