The United States Weather Service
says area temperatures should
average slightly above normal, with
above normal amounts of precipita-
tion, during the coming winter months.
As if to reinforce this outlook the
same prediction comes from Jeffemon
County weather observer Laurence
Lloyd, Sr., after he carefully studied
the weather service predictions and
conferred with the weather exports.
In the overall picture, snow or rain

Looking closer to home, Lloyd says
that Berkeley, Morgan and Jefferson
counties, along with Virginia counties
along the Blue Ridge Mountains to the
east, should experience temperatures
a degree or so warmer than normal,
with December the warmest, January
and February close to seasonal
averages.
As for precipitation, Lloyd and the

Next Wednesday, December 7, is

strumental in staging memorial ser-
vices for veterans in the past, offer a
prayer for those who died; ask for con-
tinued peace; and support those who
are now in the service of our nation,
in the many branches of the armed
services.
