  • Ground Hog Day is on Saturday! The forecast for Groundhog day 2013 in Johnston calls for cloudy skies, a high of 31 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.    The forecast that matters on Groundhog Day—the one at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Penn.—calls for snow showers and a high of 22 degrees. That means there’s a good chance of cloudy skies, and that means Punxsutawney Phil will not see his shadow. Not seeing his shadow means we may get an early spring after all!

  • Give the gift of life this weekend.  The American Red Cross and The Greater Rhode Island Baptist Temple are holding a blood drive on Sat. February 2nd from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM.  Click here for more information.
