Grab your coffee, get ready for your day, and let's start with today's forecast. Winter Weather Advisory, in effect this morning. Wintery mix of snow and freezing rain in some areas this morning with ice accumulation.

Possible light rain early, then remaining cloudy with showers in the [00:01:00] afternoon. Currently 30 raining here at the studio in the middle of Quincy High, near 40 winds, light and variable.

In reasons to celebrate today's national Puzzle Day each year on January 29th, national Puzzle Day recognizes how exercising our brains with puzzles. It's just one of the many benefits that could be things like an actual puzzle, like a jigsaw puzzle, or things like Sudoku, crosswords, any kind of puzzle that activates your brain.

If puzzles aren't your thing, that's okay. It's National Corn chip day. So grab some queso, salsa, or whatever your favorite dip is. I like a good seven day layer dip and enjoy some corn chips today and brighten your day 'cause Who doesn't love chips and salsa today around Quincy. The city of Quincy's rec department is hosting player sized program.

It's now happening each Thursday from eight 30 to 10:30 AM and it's free for all preschool aged children at the rec department building near [00:03:00] downtown. If you're a preschool parent, hey, this is a great time to go get your kids outside 'cause the weather certainly isn't cooperating today. And give yourself a breather.

Go meet some other preschool parents and let your kids run around and play and get some of that energy out. The Quincy Senior Center has an exercise class today at 1:00 PM and p knuckle at 3:00 PM.

Remember to vote on the upcoming school levee extensions. It's not a new ad, it's not a new text, it's not a new anything. You are already paying. It's already part of our lives. It just replaces the existing levy that funds the schools. Now, I personally went through and looked at the list. Uh, Quincy has a great post, uh, on one of the school websites.

I believe it was in their school newspaper. That's right. I was reading the Quincy Jacks, uh, I think it's quarterly newspaper. And it has a full explanation of all the many things that this levy funds for our school system. It helps. [00:07:00] It helps so much, and it does so much for our community. Guys, you should have gotten your ballots in the mail by now.
