Among things being dropped from New York tonight: WISH-TV‘s CBS affiliation. Mrs. Poteet has changed her 12:30pm DVR setup from 8 to 4, so I guess our switch is complete around here. I was excited at first to read about a new WISH prime-time show called “Jane The Virgin,” because I thought they were bringing […]
March 29, 1848 – Niagara Falls eased to a trickle during the late afternoon, then was “silent” for 30 hours. An ice jam at the neck of Lake Erie and the Niagara River entrance between Fort Erie, Ontario, and Buffalo, New York, was caused by wind, waves, and lake currents. March 29, 1921 – The […]
If you thought that ball dropping in New York City was spectacular – wait ’til you see our temperatures next week. The coldest air in 20 years will ride the Siberian Express into central Indiana Monday through Wednesday. Before that happens: there WILL be shoveling. Here are some updated totals from the first snow of […]
Today’s Indiana weather will be suddenly colder, but the near future is much milder. I think the great philosopher Paula Abdul put it best in 1990: “Two steps forward, two steps back.” Dry air builds in behind the weather maker that made some snow showers appear for awhile Monday night. The Indy Airport reported a […]
Fog is a factor again Friday morning, but the fog and low clouds shouldn’t last as long today. One reason will be an increase in wind speed by midday and afternoon. It will be a gusty weekend, with Saturday afternoon breezes to 25mph, and Sunday wind gusts up to 30mph. Expect warmer degrees in the […]
November begins with more sun and less wind. So far, I like it. The Sandy/SuperStorm remains are sliding into Canada, leaving us with a clear morning start and the possibility of a few afternoon and evening clouds. Friday is looking good. If you’re running the Indy Monumental Saturday…sorry. I am now putting in a slight […]
You can fly with me and Mrs. P. and Patty Spitler to NYC to see the Best In Show! Pet Pals TV is working with Ambassadair on this special trip. We’ll go to the Westminster Kennel Club 137th Annual Dog Show in February 2013. This all-breed show is the second longest continuously held sporting event […]
Tuesday morning fog is connected to good news. More recent rain. (Combined with a light wind and a clearing sky above the cloud at ground level.) As promised, yesterday’s makes August the (TA DA!) wettest month of 2012, so far! The .28″ of an inch at the Airport gives us a 4.20″ total for August. […]
What was your longest run in preparation for the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon Saturday? If you think that training for a marathon is hard, what would you say to running 250 miles a week? That is what it takes to become a three-time winner of the world’s best-known ultra-marathon, the Comrades race in South Africa. Stephen […]
