11 1-Liners

* I'm going to try something a little different this morning. As you know, we are called Newscenter 11. And, I know that many people enjoy one-liners and brief pieces of information. Why not combine the two? I'll write a daily piece called "11 1-Liners" that will simply be 11 short statements - usually weather related, but you never know what might end up here.

11 1-Liners for Tuesday:

- Meridian ended up with 2.93" over the 5 day wet period.

- Our average monthly rainfall for March is 6.93".

- This makes March our wettest month of the year on average.

- This week is Flood Awareness Week - very appropriate.

- Today's emphasis is on Turn Around Don't Drown.

- I was very disappointed to see people driving through flood water yesterday.

- That video was aired all across the country on Good Morning America.

- A huge snowstorm brought parts of Nebraska almost 2 feet of snow.

- That would be 2 feet more than we saw in Meridian this winter.

- It can snow here in March or April, but that is very rare.

- One of my first memories was a big snowstorm in April 1987 (I was 4).



* Quick Forecast: The work week still looks good - cool, but dry. Highs in the upper 50's and lower 60's, lows near freezing. A small chance of rain Thursday, but nothing too signficant. Cool and dry right through the weekend.

* I'll have a full discussion posted this afternoon...
