Local History Written by Billy Warren or none. The trouble with a list of 56 such rules is that it’s exhausting Did You Know? just to read them. To put all 56 into practice would probably never happen. So, we come back to the simple definition of good manners: thinking of people around us before taking an action. Etiquette So, what does all of this have to do with local history? We areThis month, let’s focus on a word that might be new to you. pleased to say that the Shoals area is known for its people whoThe word is “etiquette.” The dictionary gives its definition exhibit good manners – the result of growing up in a region ofas “rules governing socially acceptable behavior.” WOW! the United States known for what is called “Southern hospitality.”That’s a mouthful of words, isn’t it?

The short answer is that, without at leastsome guidelines, our world would be as crude as the dayswhen early humans lived in caves and fought each otherconstantly. In other words, good manners make us morecivilized because they help us to consider people around usinstead of thinking only of ourselves.A local friend recently shared a book entitled \"Hill’sManual of Social and Business Forms\" by Thomas E.Hill.

Never give a promise that you do not fulfill.2. Never fail to tell the truth. If truthful, you get yourreward. You will get your punishment if you deceive.3.

But did you know Precipitation that winter can bring other types of precipitation besides snow? Other forms of wintry precipitation include www.kidsvillenews.com/shoals freezing rain and sleet. One really cool weather fact is that water can be liquid below 32°F, when it is supposed to freeze! This is called “supercooled” water. Freezing rain can happen when snow falls through warm air (above freezing) and melts into rain before it falls into cold air right at the surface. Since it’s supercooled, it stays liquid, even through the cold air, until it hits the ground. Upon hitting the ground, freezing rain immediately turns into ice. If there is a significant amount of freezing rain, with more than ¼ inch of ice on the ground, it is known as an ice storm. When rain freezes, it can make driving or walking dangerous because it makes everything slippery. Freezing rain can also be dangerous because it is heavy and can snap tree branches and power lines, causing a power outage. Also, when it’s still falling from the sky, freezing rain can be hazardous to aircraft. Sleet is similar to freezing rain except it falls through colder air before it hits the ground. While freezing rain doesn’t actually freeze until it hits the ground, sleet freezes before hitting the ground, turning into a slushy pellet. Once it hits the ground, it can also be very slippery. If a freezing rain advisory is issued for your area from the National Weather Service, avoid walking outside and make sure you have your flashlight and NOAA Weather Radio handy! No matter what type of winter precipitation is falling from the sky, it is best to be prepared. The National Weather Service has some great winter preparedness and safety materials that will help you and your family prepare for the winter season. View them at weather.gov/wrn/winter_safety.
