Kansas City—The holiday season is here with festive lights and decorations. As families get ready to decorate,&nbsp;Evergy reminds customers to be safe with both indoor and outdoor holiday lights.<ul>
 <li>Inspect electrical decorations for damage:&nbsp;Discard decorations that are cracked or have damaged sockets or loose or bare wires.</li><li>Make sure holiday lights and decorations are properly rated for indoor or outdoor use:&nbsp;Only use indoor lights inside your home and outdoor lights outside. Not all lights are built to handle winter weather.</li><li>Don’t connect more than three strings of lights:&nbsp;This could blow a fuse and start a fire.</li><li>Look for certification labels: Decorations should have labels from independent testing laboratories such as&nbsp;Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or Intertek (ETL). If they don’t, they haven’t been tested for safety and could be a fire hazard.</li><li>Don’t overload outlets:&nbsp;Overloaded outlets are a common cause of fires. Only plug one power strip or one high-wattage appliance into each outlet at a time.</li><li>Water your real tree daily:&nbsp;Dry trees are a serious fire hazard.</li><li>Use battery-operated candles:&nbsp;Almost half of all decoration fires are started by candles. Unattended candles are the cause of one in five home candle fires.</li><li>Protect your electrical cords from damage:&nbsp;Don’t pinch them through doorways, windows or under furniture. Don’t place them under rugs or near heat sources.</li><li>When you go to sleep, so should your decorations:&nbsp;Turn off, unplug,&nbsp;and extinguish all decorations when they aren’t attended. &nbsp;Half of home fire deaths occur between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.</li>

Geary County Rural Fire Chief Garry Berges outlined plans Monday to apply for an airpack grant totaling $824,000. If the funds are received new airpacks could be obtained for the county's rural firefighters and those in Grandview Plaza and Milford.&nbsp;

The new airpacks would replace equipment that is 18-20 years old.

These grants are difficult to obtain so Berges noted that a New York grant writer will provide assistance. There is a five percent local match.

While the last week of November may not have reflected it, November was warmer than normal and much wetter than normal. While snow was seen on November 30, it arrived after the official recording time of 7:00 a.m. which means it will show up on the December precipitation totals.

The average daily high during November was 57.2, 2.9 degrees above normal. The average overnight low was 39.1, 6.6 degrees above normal. This gave us a monthly mean temperature of 48.1, 4.7 degrees above normal. During November there were only six nights where the overnight low was at or below expected daily low temperatures. There were 21 days, however, when the average daily high was at or above the expected high for that date! The highest temperature in November was 68 on the 3rd. The lowest temperature in November was the morning low of 19 on the 30th. There was one temperature record set. The overnight low of 62 on the 4th broke the record high low temperature for that date. The old record high low temperature was 61 set in 2015. While the temperatures were well above average we were a few tenths of a degree out of the top 5. The hottest November was in 1999 with a monthly mean temperature of 51.8 degrees. The coldest November came in 1985 when we had a monthly mean temperature of 35.2.

A rainy pattern that arrived at the very end of October continued into the first three weeks of November and drenched the area with 4.12 inches of rainfall, well above the long-term average November precipitation of 1.42 inches. This made November 2024 the 6th wettest November on record, dating back to 1931. The wettest November was in 1931 when 5.88 inches deluged the area. The driest November is an honor held by three different years. The Novembers of 1954, 1966, and 1989 saw no precipitation land in the rain gauges! Year to date, January through November, we have received 33.18 inches, above the long-term average for those 11 months of 32.40 inches. As stated earlier, officially there was no snow recorded in November.

December brings us the start of meteorological winter on the 1st and astronomical winter on the 21st. It also brings us our shortest daylength of the year (on the 21st) and often some of our coldest temperatures. While January is the coldest month of the year December can be brutal at times as well. Daily high temperatures in December start the month at 46 and by New Year’s Eve day they have slid to 39. Overnight lows for the month range from 26 on the 1st down to 20 on the 31st. December is one of our driest months of the year (only January and February are drier) with average liquid precipitation of 1.17 inches. While a White Christmas is unlikely in any given year, long term average December snowfall is 3.7 inches.

The Junction City Animal Shelter is back open for normal business hours.&nbsp; The animal shelter posted on social media that the suspicion of kennel cough was a false alarm.&nbsp;

The Junction City Animal Shelter announced this past Monday that the facility will be closed for a minimum of 1 week to monitor symptoms that COULD resemble Kennel Cough. Out of IMMENSE PRECAUTION, they are halting all adoptions or showings until they can verify if this is Kennel Cough or not. 

Once clear, they will send an update out. Given the nature of the shelter and how many dogs housed, this is a very common illness shelters can see. 

Dog owners in our area need to be vigilant and understand that public places can allow for this to spread.&nbsp;&nbsp;
