*Winter Storm*
Hello everyone,
Hopefully, you are signed up to get emergency alerts. If not, I'm including the alert I got. We all saw what happened in Lake and Ashtabula counties in the past several days. Please be prepared for bad weather in the next 24-36 hours. Make sure your electronic devices are charged up, have plenty of food and water on hand, check on your elderly neighbors and relatives, don't travel unless necessary. If you must drive, make sure you have your Go Kit with you, including food and water. It wouldn't hurt to also have a snow shovel and/or kitty litter in your car. There may be power outages, so prepare for that also.
