Winter Storm Expected Jan. 24-26
Though much uncertainty remains regarding the type of precipitation our area will receive and how much, we encourage our residents to be prepared. Models continue to indicate a freezing rain event on Sunday after some snowfall Saturday night. This is subject to change.
Regardless, please make sure you have the items you need for a couple of days to avoid travel on potentially hazardous roadways. Fill up your vehicles with fuel prior to the storm's arrival. Also, be prepared for the possibility of losing electricity for several days. Consider an alternate, safe heat source, as temperatures going into next week will be extremely cold. Also, if we do lose power, it would be a good idea to cut off the water going into your home and draining your sinks/tubs to avoid busted pipes.
Again, there's no need to panic. We are still a few days out from this storm, and forecast models will continue to change. However, it never hurts to be prepared.
Gloucester County Unveils New Driving Tour Exploring the 1781 Battle of the Hook
The Gloucester Museum of History proudly announces the launch of the Battle of the Hook Driving Tour, a new self-guided driving tour exploring the events, people, and key sites of the Battle of the Hook, the largest cavalry engagement of the American Revolution and a crucial Franco-American victory. The tour brochure is available at the Museum of History and Gloucester Visitor Center, at no cost, and an online version is also available.
The driving tour guides visitors to pivotal locations throughout Gloucester County, including the historic Tavern at Gloucester Courthouse (now the Gloucester Museum of History), Ware Episcopal Church, Abingdon Episcopal Church, and Seawell’s Ordinary. Each site reveals how local landscapes became strategic military positions during the final campaign for American independence.
