1. Apparently Hurricane Nicole has invited herself to our Friday afternoon. The National Weather Service at Mt. Holly, NJ, says there is a 100% chance rain, possibly thunderstorms, after 11 a.m. Wind could gust up to 25 mph and we could see between a half and three quarters of an inch of rain during the day. Then, for Friday night, we could see another half inch of rain and wind up to 35 mph. Expect a high temperature of 68 degrees during the day and a low of 63 degrees at night.
The chance of rain drops for Saturday and a high of 63 degrees. Sunday should be sunny, they say, with a high temp of 47 degrees.

Additionally, Historic Hotel Bethlehem was also voted Best Historic Hotel by USA Today this year.
