As I write this, it is raining and relatively warm. But predictions are for some of the coldest weather of the year, if not several years, following the rain. Pretty much everyone I know is crossing their fingers and hoping for snow.
The WCTV meteorologists are being cagey, and hedging their bets…we have predictions for every kind of winter precipitation, except snow. Rain, freezing rain, sleet, melting ice, hail, but honest to goodness, actual snow is low on the list of possibilities.
I know some folks who are seriously considering driving to the “snow line” just so the kids can experience the white fluffy stuff.
If you haven’t bought a ticket for the 4-H Gala, now is the time. Save the date for January 30th, at Wakulla Springs Lodge, and come out for a great evening of food, music and a celebration of a great organization that serves the youth of our county. Call the Extension Office for more information.
Speaking of the Extension Office, the Arbor Day celebration in the park was a great success, despite threatening skies. Trees were given out, and folks enjoyed a variety of vendors and activities. What a great program!
Please continue to hold our neighbors to the west in your prayers as they begin the difficult task of coping with the aftermath of widespread wildfires.
Remember all the hostages and victims of the wars in Gaza and Ukraine also, as progress towards peace is made.
