Snow Pic and Odds/Ends
NOTE: You can click on this image for a larger version.
* Here's a snow shot from our old friend Renny Vandewege up in Kansas City, MO. Renny served as weekend meteorologist here, doing a fantastic job, and is now a Weather Producer at KCTV in Kansas City, MO. I should probably note that Renny absolutely nailed this storm system; his forecasting skills are outstanding.
Renny is returning to Mississippi soon to serve as Director of the Broadcast Meteorology Program at Mississippi State. Talk about a fast riser! It's wonderful to see great things happen to great people who have worked hard like Renny.
* RADAR ISSUE STRIKES AGAIN: The lack of Doppler Radar here is going to cost someone their life one day. Due in large part to no good radar data on the storm in question, there was no tornado warning (or any warning) in place before the possible tornado struck the city of Demopolis. Damage was significant in the city, and it's nothing short of miraculous that no one was badly injured or killed. Still, our thoughts are with those who lost their belongings.
* Live truck arrives - WTOK has received our satellite/microwave truck. This will allow us to do live broadcasts from almost anywhere in our area...Pretty cool stuff!
