WEEKLY UPDATE December 14, 2020
It is starting to look a lot like Christmas! With unseasonably warm December temperatures, we may have lost sight of the fact that this is, in fact, December in Nebraska. The past weekend certainly reminded us in short order. Remember to drive safely as snow and ice accumulate periodically and to dress for the cold weather. Sledding and playing in the snow can be a lot of fun with proper clothing. Children just want to get out into it, so if you can, donate winter coats and other clothing to local charities that want to make sure every child is able to stay warm. As the holiday approaches, look in on vulnerable family members and neighbors to make sure they are okay.
