Good morning, Dev Test County. Baby, it's cold outside - and The Shepherd's House in Ravenna Township is doing more than just singing about it. As temperatures plunge below 20 degrees, this local shelter is throwing open its doors to anyone seeking warmth, proving that sometimes the best neighborhood watch is the one that watches out for everyone. With dinner served at 5 p.m. and facilities available to all, they're redefining "winter hospitality."
While Bainbridge Township searches for its next zoning commissioner (think less Parks & Rec's Leslie Knope, more community superhero), Mother Nature's cooking up a mid-week winter cocktail that nobody ordered. Between Wednesday's wintry mix and Sunday's single-digit temperatures, it looks like we're all getting a crash course in extreme weather bingo. At least we can say we're winning at winter?
