How big can snowflakes get? Snowflakes are agglomerates of many snow crystals. Most snowflakes are less thanone-half inch across. Under certain conditions, usually requiring near -freezing temperatures, l i g h t winds, and unstable, convective atmospheric conditions, much larger and irregular flakes close to two inches across in the longest dimension can form. No routine measure of snowflake dimensions are taken, so the exact answer is not known.
Why do weather forecasters seem to have so much trouble forecasting snow? Snow forecasts are better than they used to be and they continue to improve, but snow forecasting remains one of the more difficult challenges for meteorologists. One reason is that for many of the more intense snows,
the heaviest snow amounts fall in surprisingly narrow bands that are on a smaller scale than observing networks and forecast zones. Also, extremely small temperature differences that define the boundary line between rain and snow make nightand-day dif ferences in snow forecasts. This is part of the fun and frustration that makes snow forecasting so interesting.
Is it ever too cold to snow? No, it can snow even at incredibly cold temperatures as long as there is some source of moisture and some way to lift or cool the air. It is true, however, that most heavy snowfalls occur with relatively warm air temperatures near the ground—typically 15° F or warmer—since air can hold more water vapor at warmer temperatures.

Hello Again, Are you suffering from the “Oh, woe is me” boredom or mid-season cabin fever? Just can’t wait for the spring? Grandpa had a cure he was sure proud of. His concoction was part 1/3 apple cider, a generous teaspoon of pure vinegar, a tablespoon full of clover honey, mixed with a ten-minute trip to the woodshed or cellar depending on the season. He claimed his cure was laced with an old traditional secret family formula. Grandma, faithful to her marriage vows to obey, guarded the secret and swore it worked the times she used it, swearing it would cure everything from hang nails, short arms, to gout, and midseason crank. Grandpa had several close pals who would visit in the woodshed. Naturally Grandpa would never charge, but he always seemed to have a bib-overalls pocket well supplied with silver and paper dollar bills. It was said that no one ever heard of a divorce near Grandpa’s farm. If a married man got a little ornery, his wife would send him for a dose of the cure. A known revenue agent stopped at Grandpa’s complaining of some hidden ailment asking for a few days supply of the cure. Grandpa said he was sorry but his Jersey cow was dry and that he needed fresh Jersey milk to make the formula for the cure. Grandma said when the revenue agent rode away Grandpa headed for the woodshed. It appears the cure also helped settle the nerves. One morning while our dog Toby was taking me out for a walk on the lawn, a fancy expensive car stopped beside the bayberry hedge. The driver got out and walked through the hedge onto the lawn. He pointed at the house and asked, “Is that your house?” With that I said, “It is.” “Are you planning on selling your house,” he asked. “I guess every property owner considers something like that,” I said. “But no—it’s not for sale.” While I was admiring his luxury car and Brooks Brothers-type suit, sort of sizing him up, he asked, “If you were going to sell it, how much do you feel it’s worth?” Realizing this might be a rare opportunity, I said, “This is a real fine house and I would naturally be asking a very high price.” “How much?” he asked. In a soft voice I told him the exaggerated price and then asked if he was moving into our area. He replied, “No, I’m the new tax assessor.” Now I understand the old expression about putting your foot in your mouth.

Yesterday’s news of the day was about a high school shooting. Everyone was asking why would anyone do something like that? What is happening to our youth in this country? And if that is an example of our youth—who will be the leaders in the future? This chatter could open a thousand questions, possibly with few answers. But then…. Last night a small group from our campgrounds drove up to the Hobe Sound Christian College. The college students were presenting the famous Roger and Hammerstein stage show, “The Sound of Music.” I wish every American could have been there. These young college students exemplified exactly what is and who is our real American youth. Not one missed cue. Every song and speaking part was flawless. Give our youth a proper chance with proper teaching and direction and you will quickly learn who our next leaders will be. Thank you Hobe Sound students, faculty, and college. You are America’s future. In later years my father met and talked with one of Grandpa’s old friends and asked, “Did Dad’s cure really work?” “Well,” he said, “I—we used the cure as an excuse so we would talk to your father. He had a wonderful ability to help us see through our problems and then he would pray with us and give us a few Bible scripture verses to memorize. As you know, he was not a minister. He was a man who believed, thought and lived what he believed—we all called him our friend.” He continued, “Your Dad was always willing to reach into the pocket of his bib-overalls and lend a few bucks to someone in need.” If you are a reader of “Hello, Again” you certainly can remember tales or chatter about the men sitting around the old chunk stove at Charlie Hearn’s store. I believe that each of those men—in their own way—was like Grandpa, dispensing help through friendship. Each received a dose of the cure without realizing it. A group of friends is like a cure that will last a lifetime. And someday you will have a chance to hand down the cure to someone in need. After Grandpa left us, we looked in the woodshed. We did not find a bottle. We found a King James Bible in the cordwood. Someday we will meet again and I know that I need friends. Remember to say hi to your neighbor, take time to have a chat with a stranger, and Grandpa’s real cure will still be working. You can pray for a friend or a stranger. They do not need to know, their Heavenly Father will. See you in a few weeks and may God continue in your life,
Fred Lee and the Lee Family

Bob Gould & the Bobcats join Schoharie Flood Relief cause
by Elizabeth A. Tomlin Bob Gould & the Bobcats donated their musical talents at St. John’s - St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Canajoharie, on Feb. 26, to benefit Schoharie Valley flood victims. Gould, who plays the piano and keyboard, reports that the Bobcats group began about 21 years ago when he and a few gals got together to entertain at a Christmas event and then learned some Irish tunes to sing for St. Patrick’s Day. “We don’t do much of the Irish tunes anymore,” he said. “But we do have 25 - 30 dates a year to play.” The group’s vocalists included Elizabeth Custer, Linda Mittler, Irena Garin, Connie Chamberlain, Helen Thompson, Linda Bumpus, Deb Hutchinson, Sandra Wiese, Ruth Carey and Audrey Goebel, all from Fulton County. Gould and the Bobcats performed their renditions of a number of tunes including the early 50’s ‘Sha-boom Shaboom’, the classic ‘Blue Moon’, ‘Side by Side’, Paul Mauriat’s ‘Love is Blue’, and a score of other standards- as well as tunes from the Walt Disney movie Mary Poppins. “We sing for the fun of it!” Gould said. The coffeehouse was well attended and
among the attendees was the ViceChairman for the Schoharie Area LongTerm recovery team (SALT), Vern Hall. Hall spoke to the crowd assembled for the benefit and told them of the disaster he had witnessed throughout the Schoharie Valley. “There is fear that some of the people who have lost so much are just falling through the cracks,” he said. “It looks like it may even take as long as 10 years for the recovery to take place.” Hall explained how the SALT team came about and what their mission and goals are. Communication, collaboration, coordination, cooperation and compassion are words that carry the true meaning of SALT’s mission. “We are here to help people through this disaster,” Hall stated simply. Bob Gould and the
Schoharie Lutheran Disaster Response Team leaders Reverend Elaine Berg and Vern Hall met with LDR Construction Coordinators and disaster workshop leaders Jean and Dale Peercy, Patsy Glista, intern Kim Kimball, and FEMA Voluntary Agency Liaison Specialist Malcolm Hardy. Photos by Elizabeth A. Tomlin
Bobcats was the second in a series of coffeehouses at the church to benefit the Schoharie Valley flood victims. A third coffeehouse will take place on Sunday, March 25, with Eddie Reese and the Empty Pockets Band performing from
3-5 p.m. There will be a $5 cover charge at the door. Refreshments will be available. Call 518673-2224 for more information. Donate to SALT at PO Box 777, Schoharie, NY 12157 or phone: 518-7025017.

Whatchmacallits Modern treatment methods, technologies and medications have made trips to the dentist nearly painless. However, few people attend these appointments without at least a little apprehension. Better oral hygiene in the past century has reduced the need for extractions due to tooth decay. In the 19th Century, preventive dental care was all but nonexistent, rotten teeth and malodorous breath were common. At that time, the usual dental practitioners were barbers. They would perform tooth extractions with a device like the one show here, owned by Willis “Skip” Barshied Jr. The turnkey was used to grasp and twist a tooth to separate it from the jaw. The use of a pain killer was uncommon. In an 1841 letter, Abraham
Lincoln wrote of having a painful experience with a dentist while having a tooth extracted. “I had it torn out, bringing with it a bit of the jawbone; the consequence of which is that my mouth is now so sore that I can neither talk, nor
eat,” the future president wrote. During his years in the White House, Lincoln was known to bring a small bottle of chloroform with him to his dentist’s office and administer the analgesic to himself before procedures.

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report for 2011 Village of Canajoharie 75 Erie Boulevard, Canajoharie, NY 13317 Public Water Supply ID# NY2800137 INTRODUCTION To comply with State regulations, the Village of Canajoharie will be annually issuing a report describing the quality of your drinking water. The purpose of this report is to raise your understanding of drinking water and awareness of the need to protect our drinking water sources. Last year, your tap water met all State drinking water health standards. We are proud to report that our system did not violate a maximum contaminant level or any other water quality standard. This report provides an overview of last year's water quality. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to State standards. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your drinking water, please contact: Mr. Jeff Swartz, Supt. of Water, 75 Erie Blvd, Canajoharie, NY 13317; Telephone (518) 673-2007. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled village board meetings. The meetings are held on the 1st Tuesday of each month at the Village Office Building, 75 Erie Blvd., Canajoharie, NY 13317 at 7:00 PM. WHERE DOES OUR WATER COME FROM? In general, the sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activities. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: microbial contaminants; inorganic contaminants; pesticides and herbicides; organic chemical contaminants; and radioactive contaminants. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the State and the EPA prescribe regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The State Health Department's and the FDA's regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Our water source is a surface water source consisting of several upland springs. The Hill, Gray, Sand, Young, and Plank Springs comprise the "springline" in addition to the Sprite Creek which feeds water to our reservoir. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 93 million gallons. The Lost Lake impoundment serves as an emergency water source. The water is filtered at our Slow Sand Filtration plant. The plant consists of three slow sand filters 44 feet by 132 feet each. Each filter has a flow-rate of 0.5 million gallons per day. After passing through the filters the finished water is disinfected by injection of a sodium hypochlorite solution. Water not consumed by our customers is stored at the Smith Street Reservoir, East Hill Tank, and Palatine Clearwell, providing us with 2.63 million gallons of water storage to meet consumer demand and to provide adequate fire protection. The NYS DOH has completed a source water assessment for this system, based on available information. Possible and actual threats to this drinking water source were evaluated. The source water assessment includes a susceptibility rating based on the risk posed by each potential source of contamination and how rapidly contaminants can move through the subsurface. The susceptibility of a water supply source to contamination is
dependent upon both the presence of potential sources of contamination within the contributing area and the likelihood that the contamination can travel through the environment to reach the source. The susceptibility rating is an estimate of the potential for contamination of the source water, it does not mean that the water delivered to consumers is, or will become contaminated. See section "Are there contaminants in our drinking water?" for a list of the contaminants that have been detected. The source water assessments provide resource managers with additional information for protecting source waters into the future. Our water is derived from several spring sources and a reservoir. Lost Lake is used as an emergency supply. Based on the analysis of available information for these spring sources, there are no water quality concerns found in the assessment area. No land cover water quality concerns, permitted discharges, or other discrete facilities were identified in the assessment area using GIS. It should be noted that springs in general can be highly sensitive to petroleum products and solvents. An assessment of the reservoir and Lost Lake found no noteworthy risks to source water quality. It should be noted that reservoirs in general are highly sensitive to phosphorus and microbial contaminants. Please note that our water is filtered and disinfected to ensure that that the finished water delivered into your home meets New York State's drinking water standards for microbial contamination. FACTS AND FIGURES Our water system serves approximately 2,300 people through 868 service connections. The total amount of water produced in 2011 was 346,855,856 gallons. The daily average of water treated and pumped into the distribution system was 950,000 gallons per day. Our single highest day was 1,430,000 gallons. ARE THERE CONTAMINANTS IN OUR DRINKING WATER? As the State regulations require, we routinely test your drinking water for numerous contaminants. These contaminants include: inorganic compounds, nitrate, nitrite, lead and copper, volatile organic compounds, total trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, radiological and synthetic organic compounds In addition, we test 2 samples for coliform bacteria monthly. The table presented below depicts which compounds were detected in your drinking water. The State allows us to test for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. Some of our data, though representative, are more than one year old. It should be noted that all drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline 800-426-4791 or the New York State Department of Health Herkimer District Office at (315) 866-6879. WHAT DOES THIS INFORMATION MEAN? As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. We have learned through our testing that some contaminants have been detected; however, these contaminants were detected below the level allowed by the State. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated constituents, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect. IS OUR WATER SYSTEM MEETING OTHER RULES THAT GOVERN OPERATIONS? During 2011, our system was in compliance with applicable State drinking water operating and monitoring requirements. We constantly test for various contaminants in the water supply to comply with regulatory requirements. This past year we failed to monitor for total coliform in June 2011 and received a notice of violation for that deficiency. DO I NEED TO TAKE SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS? Although our drinking water met or exceeded state and federal regulations, some people may be more vulnerable to disease causing microorganisms or pathogens in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice from their health care provider about their drinking water. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium, Giardia and other microbial pathogens are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater. INFORMATION ON LEAD If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The Village of Canajoharie is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead WHY SAVE WATER AND HOW TO AVOID WASTING IT? You can play a role in conserving water by becoming conscious of the amount of water your household is using, and by looking for ways to use less whenever you can. It is not hard to conserve water. Conservation tips include: * Automatic dishwashers use 15 gallons for every cycle, regardless of how many dishes are loaded. So get a run for your money and load it to capacity. * Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. * Check every faucet in your home for leaks. Just a slow drip can waste 15 to 20 gallons a day. Fix it and you can save almost 6,000 gallons per year. * Check your toilets for leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank, watch for a few minutes to see if the color shows up in the bowl. It is not uncommon to lose up to 100 gallons a day from one of these otherwise invisible toilet leaks. Fix it and you save more than 30,000 gallons a year. * Use your water meter to detect hidden leaks. Simply turn off all taps and water using appliances, then check the meter after 15 minutes. If it moved, you have a leak. CLOSING Thank you for allowing us to continue to provide your family with quality drinking water this year.
