Weather, Prohibition's Birthday, Author Visit

Good morning Holmdel and Hazlet!

Weather

It’s going to be another nice day, with temperatures in the mid 40s, partly cloudy skies, and just a 20 percent chance of rain, according to weather.com. Tonight it’ll be mostly clear and about 30.

Today in History

It’s a big day for you history buffs. On this day in history in 1919, the 18th Amendment was ratified, according to history.com.  The 18th Amendment prohibits the "manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes.” It was of course overruled by the 21st Amendment in 1933. 

Drink up and have a moment of silence for the 18th!
