What's the temperature in Ada?

All depends on which one
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, December 21, 2017

By Monty Siekerman
Just checking Ada weather about 11 p.m. last night and found I'd rather live here than in Ada, Minn.

Our temp was 28 degrees while Ada, Minn., folks were reeling with a temp of 13 degrees and facing a winter storm warning.

Adak (they spell it wrong) Alaska, was warmer than here, 35 compared to 28.

And, there is an Adah, Pa., but they spell it wrong, too

There is also an Ada in Kansas, Michigan, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and West Virginia.

Ada police, fire-rescue, ambulance-EMT, and the sheriff were all on hand Wednesday afternoon for a send off to all Ada School students at dismissal for the Christmas-New Year's break.

Emergency personnel from the several agencies handed out candy canes near the north door while Santa (even the Grinch) and fire personnel were on hand for those who headed out the south door. 

The send off was orchestrated by the counseling office.

Richard the Rooster lives!

Spotted Tuesday (Dec. 19) in 500 block of South Johnson

Richard the Rooster lives!

He was spotted today (Tuesday) in the 500 block of South Johnson where he has taken up residence since July.

The fancy click is alert, fast running, and high flying, which helps him escape predators. He survived Thanksgiving....turkeys are the favorite food then. He has weathered wind, snow, and cold the past couple of weeks.

Richard the Rooster just goes about his usual morning routine, pecking at grass in front yards for food, and keeping a mindful eye out for predators and photographers.

Will he survive the winter?
