Galeton Weather Report for July 2024
Galeton had another very nice summer month. It was somewhat warmer than normal and drier. Morning temperatures were in the 50’s and 60’s. Most afternoons warmed up with readings in the 80’s. A few days it approached 90 degrees.
Rainfall for this year was 2.67″. This is about 1.33″ below the average. The rain arrived thanks to the 4 thunderstorms during the month. Most of the month was rain free. Last year we received 4.37″Pine Creek looks good, however, lawns were starting to look dry. We had 13 foggy mornings and above average humidity.
Keep mowing. It is amazing to see that even camp lawns keep being mowed down just like golf courses. I guess that’s what you do these days when you come to Potter Co. for the weekend.
Before you know it we will be getting the snow shovels out.

John Alfred Mascioni, Jr., 59, of Bolivar Drive, Bradford, PA
John Alfred Mascioni, Jr., 59, of Bolivar Drive, Bradford, passed away Tuesday, July 30, 2024, at the Olean General Hospital, surrounded by his loving family.
Born on July 22, 1965, in Olean, NY, he was a son of Gail Liane (Tice) Dunkle, of Bradford and John A. Mascioni, Sr., of Limestone.
He was a 1983 graduate of Bradford Area High School.
After high school he apprenticed at McCourt Label which led to a 20-year career there. He later worked in the Electronics Department at Walmart, until his health failed, and he was unable to be employed. John courageously battled significant health issues for years and was the recipient of a heart transplant. Over the course of his treatment, he became more than a patient to many of his providers – he also became a friend.
He formerly volunteered at the Bradford Regional Medical Center and at the SPCA where he also served on the board. He loved tinkering with electronics and computers.
