NICE START TO FALL !

WELCOME FALL...Autumn begins Monday September 22, and the weather will cooperate with the calendar. After a long hot Summer, we have now earned a nice break and it looks like we will enter a very long stretch of nice, sunny weather with cooler Fall-like temperatures. For a lot of us, this is almost the perfect setup, having had plenty of rain in recent weeks and now we can get out and enjoy all our favorite outdoor activities. A strong area of high pressure will stretch down from Canada and stay put for days on end, keeping rainstorms away from our area and setting up a cool fetch of northeasterly winds. I don't know if this weather will hold for the upcoming Fair (you'll have to pick up next Thursday's paper to find out) but it will certainly put you in the mood for vinegar fries and funnel cakes. Get out and enjoy this great weather! THE FORECAST...For our readers in New House, Cliffside and Beaver Dam Friday Through Sunday...Partly to mostly sunny, with occasional gusty northeast winds. Cool and dry. Highs upper 70's. Lows in the 50's.
