For Washington’s Birthday: wintry mix

If you have the day off for Washington’s Birthday, count your blessings: Mother Nature is not planning an appropriately respectful forecast.

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a winter weather advisory for the region from 6 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 15, through 2 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 16.

Snow is expected around 11 a.m. on Monday before turning to sleet around 4 p.n. The chance of precipitation is 80 percent with one to three inches of accumulation possible and a high temperature of 34, said the NWS.

By Monday night, the wintry mix should become all rain after 10 p.m. with a low around 33. The rain will continue on Tuesday, Feb. 16, becoming heavy at times. Between three quarters and one inch of rain is possible.

Snow showers could return on Tuesday night, but little or no accumulation is forecast. And if you’re craving sunshine, the best hope is Thursday although Wednesday may bring some partly sunny skies with a high near 44.

Free composting classes: Can you dig it?

The ground may be frozen solid, but spring is approaching; and with it comes the prospect of bountiful vegetable gardens and vibrant floral bouquets.

To improve those results for home gardeners, the Chester County Board of Commissioners, through the Chester County Solid Waste Authority, is hoping residents will dig this offering: free certified master composting classes.

The classes – attendance is required all three weeks to become certified – will be held at the Chester County Library, 450 Exton Square Parkway, Exton, from 6:30 (sharp) to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, March 2, March 9, and March 16.

Trainees will learn how to compost, how to construct various compost bins, how to grass-cycle, leaf-cycle, and how to reduce food waste by vermi-composting. The Chester County Solid Waste Authority will provide training, materials, volunteer opportunities, and support. To register or for more information, call 484-796-4041.
