Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 4pm to 1am for Ashland, Iron, Vilas, Price and Oneida counties. 2-4 inches will be possible.

This morning I am kind of a zombie since I haven’t done the morning show in almost a month and half! While I was putting my graphics together I noticed the last time I did the show it was 80 and sunny! Oh what a September we had, and now rain has been the word we have said more times in a month then I think all year.  I will be heading down to Stevens Point to work on a few stories for my “Have you ever Wondered” series so my blog won’t be long this morning.

Some stories I am working on: Why leaves change color? and Why ducks migrate? Those two will be coming up in the next two weeks.

Wanted to share a few stories:

We did this story on Wake Up, it is about Ethiopia.  They are in desperate need emergency food because of a major drought.  This is because 80% of their population live off of the land. 

And in Paris, France some folks had a snowball fight on the Seine river.  Around 70 people participated in the event that occurred in the rain.  The snowball fight is one resorts way to mark the beginning of ski season.   Check out the video here.   

Have a fantastic Friday even if it is a bit wet!
