Been away so no personal observations...

Being out of town I have to rely on other reports. A dusting of snow? Well since my car is out in the open that's just fine with me.

Brrrrr.... Chilly Week Head

It's cold out there this AM. My trusty car's thermometer reading 22 degrees this morning. Cold but not record cold (see below).

Flurries...

Not much that I saw in the way of snow. But it's only the middle of November. I love to watch snow fall. Not so much for shoveling or driving in it. And, I heard a Christmas preview weekend on the radio, so the snow was a nice touch.

Best Local Weather

I am new to Dayton, but here are my first impressions of the local media outlet's on-line weather resources.

1. WHIO - (CBS) Grade B- There is a lot of information but it's not exactly easy to get to and takes a while to load. At least there is some info on the station's home page.
2. WRCX - (ION) Grade D- Just a link to AccuWeather. Zero effort there.
3. WDTN (NBC) Grade C - Tabbed information that just shoots you down a long page of graphics? Pretty lame.
4. FOX45 - (FOX) Grade A- : Not bad at all, lots of information, easy to get at.

After I spend some more time watching the various on-air personalities I'll do another review at that time.

Any thoughts on these outlets or other local ones I may have missed?
