Good Monday Morning Neighbors, Its not snowing. Its cold, but its not snowing. The National Weather Service has dropped the winter weather advisory. Looks like we are in the clear, snow wise anyway. Still a ccccccold cccccccccouple days on tap, but nothing crazy in the 7 day forecast. At least not right now. So whats everyone doing with all that left over milk and bread? Maybe we should sponsor a French toast competition. Im sure I could dig up some judges around the station. How many kids lost the homework bet? I remember a couple (ok maybe a lot) of panicked mornings watching the news anchors read all the school delays and closings. I always seemed to lose that bet and ended up doing homework on the bus ride into school.
