“Sharon Things - Local Happenings for Sharon Springs” - 5 March 2026

Hey Neighbors!

What a shift in the weather! From single digits lows to highs in the 50s all in one week! That’s March for you! Look out for highs in the 50s with rain over the weekend and then 60s and sunny for Monday and Tuesday! How exciting! Variable lows from 50s to 20s. Lots of rain is incoming as the snow really melts and we shift into Spring.

Make sure to check your sump pumps and even if it’s working, double check it! Sometimes it is during the melt offs that it stops working! Always be prepared!
