If the Heisman trophy voters don’t understand the significance of what Kenneth Walker did this year, the award loses credibility. Not saying he should win. But not being invited to New York is insane.

I wear a wristband that says “the prize is in the journey”. Never has that felt more fitting than today. After nearly 7 years starting as just a background meteorologist trainee, I accepted our Chief Meteorologist position at @WNEMTV5news . So excited & grateful for this chapter!

There’s a student on Jeopardy from Carnegie Melon University. It’s brought back so many memories of typing in CMU on google thousands of times, only to go to the Carnegie Mellon website. I think I started typing “CMich” by the last few weeks of my last semester.

Unexpectedly tested positive for Covid-19. No symptoms, so without some other factors causing me to get a test out of caution, I wouldn’t have known. Regardless of your medical choices and feelings, stay careful friends, especially with all of our upcoming holidays.

A sobering reminder on why tornado coverage takes priority on TV. No, it probably wouldn’t have saved a life on the highway. But it may have saved someone else’s. Feel terrible for this person’s friends and family. The damage pictures near I-96 are eye-opening.
