AT 3 MILE POINT, ICE-MAKER

Wind, Warm Weather

Open Up Otsego Lake

This week’s wind and temperatures in the low 60s broke up the ice block on Otsego Lake Tuesday, and Wednesday – with the lake open but the coves still iced up – folks, inset, headed down to Cooperstown’s Lakefront Park to take in the Sleeping Lion, considered by some to be among the most famous views in the world.   This afternoon, high winds pushed the remaining ice onto the beach at the village’s Three Mile Point Park, giving it the look of a giant icemaker.  Thad Wheeler and spouse Francesca Vanasco, Town of Middlefield, were up there checking it out.  (Tara Barnwell, Jim Kevlin/AllOTSEGO.com
