Thank you ladies!

The Bates County Democrats want to thank Bates County Circuit Court Clerk Diana Rich and Bates County Recorder of Deeds Lucille Mundey. For the years of service you have given to Bates County. 

We appreciate everything you have done over the year's for the people of Bates County. You will be missed and we wish you all the best in the future.

Looking into the New Year

Today’s cold, wet, weather will not be the most pleasant way to end the year. We expect today’s rain to persist through the morning hours; finally shifting northeast out of eastern Kansas and Missouri this afternoon and evening. However, a cold, breezy wind will sweep in behind the exiting rain; pushing temperatures below freezing tonight, and for the New Year. 

This might result in a bit of freezing drizzle and/or flurries this evening as what is left of the precipitation exits, but will also most likely result in slick surfaces tonight as anything wet freezes overnight. Tuesday will be the coldest day of the week, with conditions starting to moderate as we move into the weekend. 

Otherwise, we will be watching a storm system Thursday moving across the Plains States, but currently it looks to pass through southern Missouri, thus not providing much of a chance for precipitation across northern half of the state.
