Springlike Temps & An Awesome Telethon

If you have walked outside at any point of the day over the last several days... it has been fantastic!
When you can wear shorts and short sleeves like I have been during my off time... that says a lot about how warm March really has been here in East KY. These days have been absolutely awesome! Now we will have to throw in some rain chances here and there... but the temps will remain on the other side of awesome.
Here's a great image to keep up with the temps.
In all honesty... this is the main story this week. Sure we'll see some showers and storms... but I don't think it will be anything too serious!
I personally want to say a big thank you to the folks here in southeastern Kentucky and all of the other states that called in donations during our telethon. As of this post we raised around $180,000. When I say we... I am not talking about WYMT and all of the people here working... I am talking about all of you that have contributed to this cause. So thank you so much!
I'll have another update later!
C-Ya Bye
