Winter is coming back in a big way to Central New York. It's not just snow either. There's potential for heavy, accumulating sleet and freezing rain by midweek.
The latest storm may not bring a bunch of snow winter enthusiasts have been patiently waiting for. But it will bring ice; enough to cause power outages, tree damage, and make travel nearly impossible.
A home on Lake Ontario is nice during the summer but can turn into an ice house during the winter, especially if there's no protection from the wrath of Mother Nature.
"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." The words of Helen Keller have never been more true after teamwork helped save an ice fisherman who fell through the ice.
Spring may be days away but if history is any indication, Mother Nature isn't done with winter just yet. At least not in New York. Remember the ice house 5 years ago?
Whether you participate every year or you're someone looking for a new tradition, the entire family will love participating in the Millers Mills Ice Harvest.
