Today's Weather: Merry and Bright

By Chuck Sudo in News on Dec 24, 2010 2:30PM

For today's forecast, we look to the always reliable Tom Skilling, who always makes talking about the weather sound like the best cocktail party conversation. Skilling says that we could see the first snowfall of more than an inch on Christmas Eve in 13 years. If you're like us and traveling to be with family today, be careful on the expressways. It's nice to say "have I-Pass, will speed past toll booths." It's another thing entirely to have AAA yank your car out of a drainage ditch in the middle of Southwestern Wisconsin.

As we mentioned yesterday, we know that some of you are traveling, others might be wrapping up your Christmas shopping. But it's still a standard post days here today and tomorrow. But we're going to throw you some curves, especially tomorrow. So if you need to visit the site as an excuse to get away from that one aunt who keeps sending you racist Barack Obama spam e-mails and wants to know why you aren't forwarding them to your friends, we're here for you.
