Grace has found the perfect way to keep cool this summer – swim softly but carry a big stick.
After a slight reprieve over the weekend, the heat and humidity will sneak back in this week. Today’s high will be in the mid-80s. It will ‘cool’ off to about 80 Tuesday before temperatures shoot back up to the mid and upper 80s later this week. Don’t be surprised if we hit 90 again.
Monday’s high was the first time it has hit 90 degrees since Aug. 17, 2009. The city swimming pool and Lake Ontario were popular spots for man and beast to cool off. The mercury may stay above 90 for the next few days.
A balmy lake breeze blew into Oswego’s historic Maritime District this weekend bringing not only three tall ships, but hundreds of visitors as well. The West First Street Pier welcomed The Pride of Baltimore ll, America’s Privateer Lynx, and The Unicorn to the Port City’s first-ever Festival of Sail.
As the temperature hovered around 80 degrees and the humidity continued to rise on Tuesday, this trio found the ideal spot to relax and cool off – floating in the middle of Lake Ontario. Many more will likely head to the lake today as several areas of Central New York are forecasting possible record warmth.
Oswego County’s signature industry is caught in a downward spiral, according to a new report.
The study, from New York Sea Grant, predicts that fishing trips to Lake Ontario will fall off by about a third in the next few years, draining $19 million from an $80 million business and costing 330 jobs.
