Dreaming of a Wet Christmas?

Jen Austin — Tue, 25 Dec 2012 12:05:40 +0000

So it's not white. It's a wet Christmas.

The rumbles of thunder make it seem more like April than December, and if you're traveling today expect the rain showers to continue until around 3pm. Rain chances decrease after that, but are still possible through tonight. If there is precipitation falling tonight when the temperatures turn even colder, a smidge of snow hasn't been ruled out.

Kids Get Ready to Track Santa

Jen Austin — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 17:00:19 +0000

If your kids are anything like mine, every time they look up into the sky right now and see anything that's not a cloud, the moon, the sun, or the stars, they think it's Santa. If they see a white tail behind an airplane, they think it must be the dust left behind by Santa's reindeer. Young kids across the globe may be hovered around a computer soon with their parents, tracking Santa's every move.

A couple of weeks ago, Amy Austin reminded us that we'll be able to track Santa today with the Official Norad Santa Tracker. How did the Santa Tracker start anyway?

City of Tyler to Offer Christmas Tree Recycling

Jen Austin — Sun, 23 Dec 2012 15:45:52 +0000

This weekend your Christmas tree is probably well-lit and gorgeous, standing watch over a multitude of neatly-wrapped gifts and providing a warm holiday glow in the living room. This is the best weekend of the year for the tree.

On Wednesday, the tree will be bare of gifts and the kids will be playing their new Wii games while you start thinking about the task of taking down the decorations and tossing the tree.

Extension agents remind us that the trees are living, breathing things (the real ones anyway, not the fake ones), and they can be turned to mulch and help landscaping this spring.

Here's how Tyler plans to recycle Christmas trees.
