They weren't kidding when they said high wind warning for today! The East side of the lake is getting pummeled pretty hard. Gusts are definitely clocking in over 40 mph. Be sure to tie down any loose objects outside and be careful if you are outside. 🌬🌊

A huge shout out to CLWA volunteers, the DEC, the Finger Lakes PRISM, FLCC’s Muller Field Station, Ontario County Soil and Water Conservation District, Ontario and Yates Cornell Cooperative Extension’s, Ontario County Department of Sustainability and Solid Waste Management, retired OCSWCD educator, and CLWA Watershed Educators for running a station at this event.

Its New York State Invasive Species Awareness Week. Today we are highlighting Round Goby - an invasive fish found in nearby lakes including Seneca, Keuka, and Lake Ontario.
