    Winter weather is moving in today 1/5/25, and it looks like it will be with us throughout the week. Weather.gov and KXII are predicting overnight lows in the 20s all week, and a chance of rain and snow starting on Thursday.

    If you need any assistance with heaters, blankets, food, or anything else, please contact us at officers@wb5rdd.org and we will be glad to help. You can also call, text, or email me directly. I will also monitor the repeater when I’m mobile or around the house. Unfortunately, my radio doesn’t really work inside my workplace. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need anything.

    I hope everyone has a safe week and stays warm.
