Efforts
to prepare the Logan County Courthouse dome for bad
weather conditions have made considerable progress in
the last 10 days since LDN last offered a photo view of
the dome.
Speaking of bad weather, if predictions hold, today is
your last day to get out and gather supplies to weather
a severe snowstorm moving into the area late tonight.
If Logan County gets the snowfall predicted, it may be a
couple of days after the storm passes before anyone can
get out and about. Be sure to check needed medications
to see if you should grab a refill. Check to make sure
you have candles and flashlight batteries if the power
goes out and, of course, food.
