Yes, it really happened...ugh!
(Talk of the Town photo by Jennifer Zartman Romano) The rumors are true. Indeed, a little precipitation of the frozen variety fell in Whitley County last evening. At left, trace amounts of sleet are seen on top of a trash can in Columbia City.
Fortunately, there wasn't much and it seemed to melt quickly, creating puddling on roadways. It was, however, a stark reminder of what we're all in for in the next few weeks. It's time to dig out the ice scrapers, the dry clean your winter coat, match up your mittens, pull out your favorite cold weather gear and...get ready, Whitley County, winter is on its way!
