There are a few things going on this weekend, but the post-holiday malaise seems to still be upon us. The folks from the Douglas Animal Welfare Group will continue their good works on Saturday with an adoption event at the Petco, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. More information is available at their Web site, www.dawgrescue.com. Channel 2 meteorologist Mike Alger will be at the Douglas County Public Library at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday. Folks were supposed to RSVP on Wednesday, but if you're interested, I'll bet they won't be turning too many people away.
This weekend will be mostly clear with highs in the 40s and lows in the teens, blah, blah, blah, blah. The forecast just keeps going like that through next Friday. It's barely worth the electrons it took to report it. At 6:11 a.m. it's 10 degrees outside in Genoa.
One thing's for sure, until we get some wind, it's sure going to be smoky in the Valley. I watched a plume of smoke rise up on Thursday and it just flattened out against the inversion at about 100 feet. I heard a lot of people complaining about allergies. There's no blooms, but there's lots of dust and smoke in the air, so don't be surprised if you're a tad sneezy until something comes and cleans out the Valley.
