Around the Neighborhood - Summit - 11 January 2026

I hope 2026 is going to be a good year for everyone.

We continue to have on and off batches of snow; just enough to shovel and force some exercise. My chickens are not liking the days in the single digits or teens and wind.

Thank you to Summit Highway Department for your continued plowing and sanding.

One of the good things about winter is you can buy cold stuff in the grocery store and not have to rush home to get it in the frig as your car becomes a frig in no time.

We have gained about 15 minutes of daylight since the winter solstice on December 22; we’re getting there slow but sure.

There were quite a few ice fisherman on Summit Lake last Sunday.

My 2027 Summit history book will be on Civil War Veterans with connections to Summit. If you have any info. or photos of them please let me know at karenc@midtel.net - 518-287-1945.

So sorry to hear of the passing of my friend and history buddy Steve Lamont of Huntersland/Middleburgh last week. If I ever had a question about Middleburgh history he was my go-to guy.
