Drought Warning In Effect Northampton, Carbon, Lehigh and Monroe counties are now under a drought warning. Residents and businesses, particularly in central and eastern counties, should use water wisely and follow simple water conservation tips to ease the demand for water. Citizens are encouraged to voluntarily reduce their water use by 10-15 percent.
Data from the Commonwealth drought monitoring network shows dry conditions persisting in the middle of the state and lack of precipitation in the eastern part of the state have deepened precipitation deficits, resulting in extremely low stream flow and groundwater levels, particularly in the Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas in the Delaware River Basin. The Department of Environmental Protection encourages all citizens to take these steps to reduce their water use:
SLATE BELT WEATHER NOVEMBER 23TODAY - Mostly sunny, with a high near 45. Northwest wind around 6 mph. TONIGHT - A slight chance of freezing rain after 4am, mixing with sleet after 5am. Cloudy, with a low around 27. Calm wind. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

BRUNSWICK, Ga., Nov. 21 (UPI) -- A Georgia man who still doesn't know the results of the presidential election said his accidental art project began with a simple party invitation.
Joe Chandler, a Brunswick artist, said he found the presidential race between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump to be so stressful that he declined an invitation to an election-night party. "I was invited to an election party to stay up into the night with everybody gnawing their nails, hanging on and I thought, oh there has to be a better way," Chandler told WAGA-TV. Chandler went to bed not knowing about Trump's eventual victory and when he woke up feeling peaceful the next day, he decided to make the feeling last. "Having subtracted myself from this political fracas and all of the mayhem of the digital media, I kind of found the center of the cyclone, it is very peaceful in my bubble of ignorance," Chandler said. He said it wasn't too difficult for him to avoid having the results spoiled because he works from home and has kept clear of TV, radio, newspapers and social media. Chandler said he wears headphones when he leaves the house along with a sign reading, "I don't know who won and don't want to. Please don't tell me." "People have been very respectful of my decision," he told NBC's Today show. Chandler said he knows he can't avoid the results forever, but he hasn't yet figured out how he wants the news to be broken. "I don't really have an exact exit plan," he said. He said one idea would involve using a box of balloons like a gender reveal party -- the box would contain red balloons for a Republican victory, and blue for a Democratic win. "I am almost ready for somebody to put me out of my misery, but when they do, I have a feeling I might be stepping back into a world of even more misery," Chandler said.
Winter Prepardness...Be Prepared for Winter Weather
(BPT) -When severe weather hits this winter, the difference between being safe and stranded can often come down to how prepared you are. A recent survey by AccuWeather found that the number one weather-related concern Americans have this winter is being caught by surprise by inclement weather. People also worry about being stranded while traveling or experiencing heat or power outages at home. What's more, weather damage statistics show they have valid cause for concern.
According to the United Nations, extreme weather and natural disasters have killed more than 600,000 people and left behind trillions of dollars in damage over the last two decades. While you can't control the weather, predictive tools can help people better prepare for weather. Knowing when inclement weather is going to arrive, and what to expect, can help people avoid weather-related damage to their homes and vehicles, and stay safer and healthier throughout the winter season. Types of winter weather damage Snow, ice, wind and extreme cold are common causes of winter weather damage. Accumulated snow and ice can cause roof collapses, and bring down trees or power lines. Heavy snowfall can force road closures, leaving people in rural areas isolated for long periods of time. Even a small amount of ice can cause roads and walkways to be slick and dangerous for vehicles and pedestrians. Extreme cold can also cause pipes to burst and make furnaces worker harder to warm homes. It can cause car batteries to fail and even create cracks and fissures on paved roads and walkways. Preparedness tips The top thing you can do to prepare yourself for inclement weather is to be informed and ready, monitoring local weather information and updates. AccuWeather's new preparedness program, AccuWeather Ready, takes its commitment to keep people prepared and safe even further with the addition of weather preparedness tips and tools including in-app push notifications when bad weather is coming, personalized weather preparedness plans, and tailored emergency kits with detailed shopping lists, adding to the most accurate forecasts all available on the 24/7 AccuWeather Network, AccuWeather.com/Ready and the AccuWeather app. In addition to monitoring the weather, take these steps to ensure inclement weather never catches you by surprise: * Create emergency kits for your home and car. Your home kit should include water for drinking and cleaning, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food, a flashlight with extra batteries, first aid kit, basic tools like a wrench or pliers, a manual can opener, and a solar charger for your cell phone. Your vehicle kit should include a warm blanket, ice scraper and/or liquid deicer, a shovel, bottled water, non-perishable food, LED flashlights, flares, spare clothes, a first aid kit, basic tools, jumper cables, and an additional source of traction such as sand you can pour under the tires. * Have a family emergency communication plan. Inclement weather that moves in quickly can leave loved ones separated. Discuss how everyone will contact each other if you're separated, and where family members caught away from home will go for shelter. * Winterize your home and vehicle to ensure both are in top condition to weather the winter. * Keep backup materials on hand, such as extra clothing and blankets, non-perishable food, bottled water and a backup generator with plenty of fuel in case the power goes out. Winter weather is nothing to overlook - taking easy, proactive steps to prepare before bad weather arrives, in addition to monitoring AccuWeather for trusted information, is critical to keep you, your home and your loved ones safe throughout the season.

Wendy’s Restaurant, route 512, Wind Gap, PA will generously donate a portion of all sales that night to the Library in Pen Argyl. The fundraiser will include dine-in, take-out and drive-through orders. Please consider supporting the Blue Mountain Community Library by purchasing a meal from Wendy’s. The money will be used to purchase new books and to meet the many expenses associated with maintaining the building. Membership to the library is free to all residents of the Pen Argyl School District and non-residents may join for a small yearly fee.
A Christmas Tree Fundraiser is currently being offered at the library for anyone wishing to honor or memorialize a loved one or pet. Please consider purchasing an ornament for $5.00 to decorate the tree. The library has many Pen Argyl High School yearbooks for sale, as well as books on local history.
