*It was a mostly overcast week with some sunshine here and there. There were brief periods of snow throughout Monday and Wednesday morning, but there wasn't any measurable precipitation as forecasters had predicted. By the weekend it cleared up, but it was still quite cold.
*With the Thanksgiving holiday in the rearview mirror, more and more Christmas decorations have come out in the last week. Houses and businesses throughout the area are covered with shiny lights and ornaments.
*The fifth annual Snowflake 5K in Lehighton, PA was held on Saturday morning. The race began and ended at the Zion United Church of Christ and wound through the streets of the town with splendid views of the surrounding area. Runners braced the cold weather for the event and were treated to a nice meal afterwards inside the Church which was followed by an awards ceremony. The event was time by Pretzel City Sports, an organization that hosts races throughout Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. The race raised money for the Dylan and Gavin Rainbow Ministry, an organization helping families dealing with the loss of a child or a child with an illness.
