Here are the top three stories in Cleveland today:

1. The holiday season is far from over at Merwin's Wharf. The restaurant will be offering holiday specials, including cocktail discounts, weekly food and drink specials, and bar snacks like their famous Big Pretzel. You can also reserve an igloo and party like it's not freezing out! Happy hour specials run from Wednesday through Friday. (Cleveland Metroparks)
2. Second District Officers received a special lunch on Dec. 18. The Oasis de Benedicion (Oasis of Blessings) Church served up a hot meal that was perfect for a cold day. The ministry randomly provides hot meals to organizations throughout the community. What a lovely way to support the hardworking members of our community! (Second District Community Relations Committee)
3. After dangerously cold temperatures last week, it looks like Cleveland is about to enjoy some warmer weather. By today, the highs will be approaching 50 degrees — a drastic change from the ice storms and flooding last weekend brought. Although the weather will be mostly cloudy with scattered shows, the temperatures will be more tolerable. The lowest the temperature is expected to drop this weekend is around 40 degrees — but for most of the time, it will remain closer to 50. (cleveland.com)
