5 Things You Need to Know, June 25

It's only 6 more months until Christmas! Have you started your shopping yet?

Weather:

  • It's going to be a scorcher with highs expected in the mid 90's! Sunrise is at 6:27 and our low of 70 will be in the 6-7 a.m. hour. Highs will be reached in the 4 p.m. hour with a chance of a stray afternoon thundershower.  We'll keep you updated with weather alerts here and on the Lilburn Patch Facebook page.

Air Quality: 

  •  Georgia's Clean Air Campaign has stepped us down from Saturday's Code Orange Smog Alert with an air quality index of 90 which is moderate: People who are unusually sensitive to air pollution should consider reducing prolonged or heavy exertion.

  • June 25 is LEON DAY ... "Leon" is "Noel" spelled backwards and that can mean only ONE THING! Christmas is exactly 6 months away! Are you one of those people who finishes shopping in June, finishes wrapping by Labor Day and has the halls decked by Thanksgiving? Or are you one of those folks who makes a mad dash in the week before Christmas to get it all done? 
  • June 25 is also National Strawberry Parfait Day - or Strawberry Sundae Day! I'm thinking the main difference is in the presentation so make the best of both worlds and layer some fresh strawberries and some French Vanilla ice cream in a beautiful wine glass and top it with whipped cream and you have the perfect strawberry treat!
