An Eye On The River

A couple of Canada geese in the Farmington River are joined by a male mallard, or drake (on the ice), and a female mallard (barely visible in front of him in the water) on Thursday, Dec. 30. This photo, looking south, and the others in the gallery below were taken from the pedestrian walkways of the Sgt. Michael Dubiel Memorial Bridge (Route 179) over the river in Collinsville.

Where’d The Snow Go?

Was it 8 inches, 10 inches, 12 inches? How much snow fell in the "blizzard" earlier this week? There's certainly no way of knowing in this field at the intersection of Olson and Morgan roads: Much of the snow that fell here was blown somewhere else. Photo: dotCANTON

Sights After The Storm

The storm was gone and the sun was out Monday afternoon, Dec. 27, but high winds, frigid cold and blowing snow remained in Canton. Among the sights: Chunks of ice fill the Farmington River almost from side to side in Collinsville, the result of persistent cold weather this month. A few more photos below. Photos: dotCANTON
