Happy [...] We started the Severe Weather Team Blog a couple of years ago, but in the last year, we made the transition to WordPress.com. One of the really nice things about WordPress is that it lets you see how many people have been on your website. Today, we hit a new milestone with our 20,000th [...] Just a quick update here as Futurecast is looking more and more like it should, I think. Still, keep in mind that this is just a computer model and it could be wrong. Also, if the wind direction shifts off of the lakes, the snow bands will set up in a different place, leading to different accumulations. If you’d like to see the updated Futurecast snow map, click in… Everybody has them in the front yards or on the porch now and Jeff Oechslein, morning meteorologist at our sister station, WTOV-9 in Steubenville, has more info on how pumpkins are affected by ‘The WX Factor.’ What fruit has edible flowers, originated in Central America, and is made up of 90 percent water?
