We have a promise of rain today … 100% chance … The forecast is for showers, mainly before 4 p.m. High near 51 (47 degrees at 5 a.m.) New precipitation amounts are expected to be a half to three quarters of an inch. Rain all gone by late today, overnight mostly clear, with a low near 33. Thursday, mostly sunny, with a high near 54 and a northeast breeze around 6 mph.
Could have more rain Sunday night … forecast is for showers likely, 60% chance … We need it…
Remember when the temp dropped, it was hog-killin’ time? Often, it was a neighborhood event … Seldom see that today…

I enjoy seeing youngsters face ‘light up’ when they see the bright lights of the holiday season…
