It is currently around 18 degrees F on the west bank of the Hudson River, but with the wind chill the figures are somewhere in the negative numbers. It seems appropriate, therefore, to post this wonderful video, shot by an X-Factor Aerial drone. The footage is from about 50 miles north of New York City and features some great views of the ruins of Bannerman’s Castle on Pollepel Island. The “castle” was once a military surplus warehouse. The video also have great shots a Coast Guard cutter on the ice choked river.
Frozen Beauty – A winter morning on the Hudson River – FEB 2015 from XFactor Aerial on Vimeo.
At 5:30 this morning, 20 miles west of Cleveland, less that a mile from Lake Erie, it was minus 14F, calm winds for a change, no wind chill.
Might see a high of 12F , but not till 8pm, then drops for the night.
Highs will been in the low teens the next 5 days. Take out trash, come back in. Not going out for anything!
No new snow in over 1 week, roads are clear, but snow and ice compressed.
