Raising Children to Weather the Storm
I remember being assigned a science project in elementary school. When the teacher asked what I had chosen, I told her I wanted to do mine on a volcano. I knew nothing about how to make a volcano or how to make it erupt. I wanted to construct a huge lava spewing mountain. Instead, I ended up…
I love covering snowstorms, but traveling in it is a whole other ball of wax. I’ve driven through so many snowstorms that I’d call myself a snow driving connoisseur. Depending on the timing and the intensity, I stay overnight. Yes, you read that right. And I’m not just talking about being at a posh hotel. Sometimes it’s…
My daughter has always been obsessed with snow. Before there was Frozen, all she wanted to do was go sledding and build a snowman. So, it didn’t come as a surprise when she asked me how to make fake snow, which ties into what I do for a living. My job as a weather anchor…

I’ve covered so many snowstorms that I’ve gotten numb at the thought of getting any of the white stuff. That said, I do love tracking snowstorms – heck, any storm for that matter. But covering storms for the news is completely different from actually traveling in it. One recent snowstorm dumped five to eight inches…
As the second snowstorm of the season approached, I knew that there was a good chance that I’d have to be away from my family.
