Monday November 16

Yesterday was warm, but it actually looked like winter – gray, very windy, cloudy with some rain.  Today will be partly sunny, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high only near 41 degrees. Breezy, with a west wind 16 to 21 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Tonight we have a chance of snow showers after 1:00 am. Increasing clouds, with a low around 32. West wind 14 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Bundle-up folks.

Garrett County on Friday announced a new relief program to help restaurants in the county that have been impacted by the pandemic.  This sounds really helpful and should be welcome news for local food service establishments.  Here’s the scoop.

Here’s an interesting, heart-warming story about “Uncle Jimmy” and his move cross country to be with relatives during the age of COVID.  I know of some local friends and families, including some readers, that have or are considering combining households due to the pandemic and thought this might be useful.  Enjoy.

Here’s a cool and unique photo from Debbie Workman taken on one of our county roads in the last few days. Thanks for sharing Dot.  Nice work.
