This time next week, we wake up to see what Santa brought, and 2 weeks from today, we celebrate the beginning of a new year…
One more reminder … Your property taxes, due September 2021, will have a penalty added to the bottom line if paid after January 5th or 6th … No taxes due at Christmas … but if not paid by that date, a penalty will be added … Folks at Bladen County Tax Office can provide the details…
Back to Christmas from long ago … Last White Christmas in Bladen, according to my sources … 1989 … 12 to 15 inches fell on December 22nd thru 24th … Snow was just in eastern N.C. and totals were greater in southeastern NC … Chance of snow in 2021 … 0% … 80 degrees yesterday and 79 to 80 degrees today…
61 degrees at 4 a.m. today … Forecast for today, areas of dense fog before 11 a.m. Otherwise mostly cloudy, with a high near 75, wind gusts as high as 15 mph. Tonight, a 40% chance of showers mainly after 1 a.m. with a low around 59 … Sunday, a 90% chance of rain, high near 66 and windy, gusts as high as 21 mph.
Plan accordingly…
For the record … Thanks for request from friends on numerous social platforms … I am the world’s worst social media friend … keep getting ‘hacked’…
If you want to make a contribution to a worthy cause, maybe to make Christmas better for a less fortunate individual, group or cause, donate to one of the many local efforts…
