With burning lungs and ice-encrusted eyebrows, John Ellis, Oneonta, Aaron Stary, Laurens, Kye Breier, Davenport, and Mike Hamlton, Oneonta, finish their run along Ford Ave early this afternoon after completing run in temperatures below 0°. The friends had turned out for the YMCA’s annual Frostbite 5K race, only to discover it had been postponed until a later date due to the weather. Not to be deterred, the group decided to run the course anyway in a race they aptly named the “Frost Spite 5K”. A new race date will be announced soon.(Ian Austin/AllOTSEGO.com)
While you would be hard-pressed to find a mathematician (or weatherman!) who would say that the temperature could be “negative zero” as it reads on the NBT Bank thermometer in Oneonta, everyone can agree that baby, it’s cold outside! More accurately, the temperature hovers around -2, with a windchill as low as -30 expected tonight. (Ian Austin/allotsego.com)
