🌨 Signals are increasing that winter will return in a more notable fashion shortly after the mid-way point of January.

This set up will feature more frequent shots of cold air and increased snow potential. We'll be monitoring very careful for more specifics as we get closer but certainly should become busier again from a winter perspective.

Thousands of people, especially children and teens, are injured each year by fireworks—resulting in burns, fires, and even death. Despite the risks, many don’t understand the dangers.

This year, choose safer alternatives like glow sticks and silly string to celebrate this without the risks!
