Are you a lover of that classic snowy White Christmas? ⛄️ While we all know that nature can be unpredictable, the odds are that the snow will fall mainly in the Central region of the U.S. this Christmastime. According to our weather predictions, most of the United States will be seeing a milder, gentler winter than average, but if you're a snow lover, there will still be plenty of skiing and sledding over the rest of the season.

❗BUYER BEWARE❗
The Kansas Highway Patrol urges you to be cautious when purchasing used vehicles.
Recently VIN Inspectors and Troopers with the Kansas Highway Patrol Troop V Auto Theft Unit in Topeka recovered a stolen 2020 Toyota Tundra.
A 2020 1794 Special Edition Tundra had been brought in for a KHP VIN inspection. During the inspection, inspectors and troopers noticed inconsistencies with the title and vehicle. Troopers thoroughly inspected the vehicle and found the VIN and other identifying labels had been replaced with counterfeit labels to hide the real VIN. The assigned VIN was located and the vehicle was identified as a 2020 SR5 Tundra reported stolen in Colorado earlier this year. This stolen vehicle had been listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace at an extremely discounted price. The seller would only accept cash for the purchase.
Don’t become a victim. If you are looking to purchase a vehicle from an individual, please visit kansashighwaypatrol.gov/y7qo for tips on how to protect yourself and research vehicles.

Outdoor forts have long been a childhood staple but are becoming a lost art. Children have a natural desire to create private spaces, and fort building offers more than just fun—it fulfills deeper needs:
🌳 Control: Kids shape their environment by choosing materials, location, and design, creating a space uniquely their own.
🌳 Privacy: Forts provide independence—a personal retreat for play and imagination, free from adult or sibling intrusion.
🌳 Imagination: Building fosters creativity, allowing kids to craft their own world and explore roles and scenarios.
🌳 Fun: It’s an enjoyable process, from designing to the pride of completion.
Fort building nurtures creativity, problem-solving, and social skills—essential for child development. So next time, join in the fun and build something together!

Beavers! Tonight, we steal the moon!🌕🦫
The November full moon has been called the "Beaver Moon" since 1778. There are a few theories as to where the name comes from, but the most prevalent is that this time of year is when beavers are most active in preparing for winter by building dams and sheltering in their lodges.
This will be the fourth and final supermoon of 2024! So, head outside tonight and check it out (as long as the beavers don't get to it first).

Tonight, the fourth and final supermoon of 2024 will be visible. Called the beaver moon, its name derives from the fact that this time of year is when beavers are most active in preparing for winter by building dams and sheltering in their lodges.

🍂 The Thanksgiving Holiday is coming quickly, which means we should go over a few reminders to practice food safety for the thanksgiving turkey thaw! Nobody wants food-borne illness during the holiday.
🦃 Fresh Turkey should be picked up 1-2 days before the meal, and should be stored in the refrigerator.
🧊 Frozen turkeys are best thawed in the refrigerator or in cold water.
🌡️ Make sure your refrigerator temperature is set between 35-38 degrees Fahrenheit.
Turkey Thawing Recommendations ⬇️
🍗 Nov. 15 for 20+ pounds
🍗 Nov. 17 for 16-20 pounds
🍗 Nov. 19 for 12-16 pounds
🍗 Nov 20 for 4-12 pounds
🔥 325 F is the lowest oven temperature to safely cook turkey. Use a food thermometer to be sure it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 F.
