JOHN'S MOLONG BLOG: 11 FEBRUARY 2017 It’s time to take care — of ourselves, of our friends and families, and of our animals. The heatwave across the country is expected to worsen over the weekend, with Rural Fire Services warning of potentially catastrophic fire conditions. The Bureau of Meteorology says New South Wales could face its hottest February day on record, as temperatures are expected to reach 47ºC (that’s 116.6º on the old scale) in western parts of the state. Sporting officials around the State are warning players of potential hazards. Greg Pringle, Honorary Secretary/Treasurer of Molong Cricket, has, Molong Online believes quite rightly, cancelled today’s round of the competition.
