WET BEGINNING:--As the work week started, we got some more rain, which can be good or bad, depending on how you look at it. We are behind in our yearly rainfall amounts, which we need to have to keep things nice and green around here, as we certainly don't want a big burn like California just experienced! However, when the rain comes down hard, as in an atmospheric river, then it's not quite as welcome as that can cause flash flooding, erosion, mudslides, etc., so let's hope that things don't materialize in that kind of event here and that the...

Mary Stellar and Ann Parrino, pictured above, are volunteers who live in the county. These ladies' attitude is typical of most volunteers who readily accept the risks because they are communi...

SOME MOISTURE--A couple of days last week saw some raindrops around here and some cool temperatures but considering we weren't in the midst of "Nor-easter" like many states back East, nor the dry, firey conditions of California, I'd say we were doing alright! We have had quite a bit of fog though, so it's good to remember that while headlights might not make you see any better, it will certainly make it easier for others to see you, so here's hoping you'll flip them on every time you turn the key in your car/truck! TURKEY DAY--If you are...

NOT BAD--While we woke up to some very chilly temperatures last week, the sunshine that showed up on Saturday after some foggy conditions was quite nice, even though it wasn't super warm out there, as it only got up to 45 that day. By bedtime it was once again below freezing out our way so it looks like winter isn't too far away. We are supposed to have had a little more wetness by Tuesday night but then we're supposed to get dry again, so I can only hope that's true as there are a lot of acitivities coming up and it would be nice if it was...
