Rain now, Snow Later?

• Here we are on another Sunday with the Bengals off and the rain on. It should be the reverse.

• Talking with a friend of mine Jack Coors last night, we were both discussing the empty club seats at PBS. I know they're sold but why aren't they used. Light attendance today for sure with the rain. But, my good friends Murph & Sally will be there!

• Heads up, Umbrellas open...rainy week ahead. Rain: Today, Monday, Tuesday, In fact, I was checking the Miamitown river gauge , you folks there keep an eye out Tuesday night. Close to flood stage.

• Also, looks like our first good chance for snow showers this week. Tuesday night the 850mb temps will drop to -5 C or 23F. Love this for that.

• And on that subject, love the weather?...why not help out the National Weather Service with their snow spotter program . I recently was part of a confab with the NWS & Emergency Managers from around the area. You sometimes forget how dedicated those folks really are. Thanks for all you do!

• This is becoming a Merv Griffin theme show (Yikes! dated reference, anyway:) ......
