A crisp and clear weekend definitely made up for some of the rain/winds we had Thursday evening. The weather for today will be mostly sunny with a high near 52 and a low around 38. South wind 7 to 11 mph.
Here’s a photo taken by Rick Egtvedt, showing the slight dusting of snow we received during the Halloween weather we had last Thursday evening.
Before it turned cooler, I was seeing a lot of these fuzzy critters on the move all around the area (and definitely “on the move”). Check out the photo below and let us know what type of caterpillar it is and send a photo of the moth/butterfly they will come (or just a link to a photo) and if we draw your name, we will send you some Deep Creek Times “bling.” Send us your thoughts to info@deepcreektimes.com. Thanks!
Congratulations to Kathleen Green for winning the October “Where Am I?” contest … try your guess at this month’s quiz!
There is a Burnham LP Gas Boiler (130,000 BTU) for sale in our online marketplace. More details under “Miscellaneous”.
Fall is a great time to visit the Deep Creek Lake area and this past weekend was especially nice. Here’s a photo of some nice ladies that visited this weekend and got to meet the bear at Bear Creek Traders in McHenry.
In other news; there was a fatal shooting over the weekend in nearby Terra Alta and, at the time of publication, the suspect is wanted and considered armed and dangerous:
“On Sunday, November 3, 2019, the Preston County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a person shot at Shorthorns Saloon in Terra Alta, WV. The shooting resulted in the death of 38-year-old Grant Felton of Terra Alta, WV. The investigation revealed Mr. Felton was shot by Mr. Aaron Glenn Hoard, 33, of Morgantown, WV. Mr. Hoard fled the scene and is currently wanted for murder. It is believed Mr. Hoard is with his significant other, Ms. Machaela J. Jeffries, and possibly their one-year-old child. Mr. Hoard drives a 2018 black Dodge Ram, pictured below. At this time there is reason to believe Ms. Jeffries is aiding Mr. Hoard in evading arrest. They should be considered ARMED AND DANGEROUS. If seen call 911. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONTACT THEM. Any further inquires should be sent to Lt. J. G. Rodeheaver at 304-329-1611
