Icy Monday

The listening area was awakened by an icy glaze this morning. The few degrees of warmer air over night brought us freezing drizzle rather than and inch or two of snow. It is always a good idea to leave your home a few minutes early and leave a good amount of space between your car the one in front of you. I know that these tips are common but we can forget them when we are focused on our busy day ahead of us. Conditions improved with time. Be careful.

12.8" of Snow?

On the date in 1934, snow began to fall during the evening on the 29th and continued into the morning hours of December 1st. Snow totals added up to 12.8 inches in La Crosse. This has been the snowiest November date yet.

Toys and Tots

When you are out shopping today or tomorrow, remember that this Friday is the annual Toys for Tots collection day. The La Crosse Jaycees and the La Crosse Radio Group team up each year for this event. The location is in front of the La Crosse Center from 6am to 6pm Friday November 20th. All toys or monetary donations will be distributed by the La Crosse Jaycees prior to Christmas. We will look forward to seeing you on Friday and thanks for making a child's Christmas brighter.

Go Pack

Yesterday the Packers won a great game. I was so glad that our local fans that rode our bus got to see a great Packer victory. We had a sold out bus trip to Green Bay. I am always hoping for a Packer win however yesterday I was thinking how nice it would be for our bus group to attend such a game. Packers 17, Dallas 7. I bet you already new the score!

Thank You Veterans

Thank you for serving our country. Today is your day. Many offices and business are observing Veterans days in different ways. One business in the area is offering free car washes today. The Ship Shape car wash in Onalaska and the Quick and Clean car wash on La Crosse's South Side are offering free services today for veterans and U.S. service members. Thank for our freedom that we enjoy each day.

Warm Set Up Weekend

Do you know what all the activity is about in Riverside Park? Its time again to set up for Rotary Lights. Warm weather was welcome for volunteers as set up for Rotary Lights holiday display continues. Fair weather should continue today as well. Rotary Lights opens the day after Thanksgiving and runs through New Year's Eve.
