Do you know what a Blue Moon means?

  1. The moon appears to have a blue cast on it.
  2. The full moon appears a second time in the same calendar month.
  3. When the moon is full, more people are likely to feel "blue" or depressed.

If you guessed B, you are correct. There will be two blue moons in 1999. We had two full moons in January and two in March. (January 31st and March 31st) The last time there were two full moons in a year was in 1980 and the next time will be in the year 2018.
Q & A

What part of a lightning storm is the most dangerous?

The largest number of lightning strikes occur just as the storm is ending not during its most intense part, according to a study of Florida lightning-strike casualties. Most people think the storm is over and head outside only to get hit by the storm's last flashes. When your little leaguers are anxious to get back to the game...remember "you're not home-free 'til the storm subsides."

 


WITN
WITN - TV's new Greenville Bureau is the newest home for a Weather Metrics' electronic messaging center. The scrolling display is hooked to a weather station on the roof of the Bureau and will display LIVE real-time weather conditions. The message center will become an advertising tool by displaying a message that WITN will change daily, promoting programming and WITN-TV 7.

     "This studio will be unlike any other in the area. It will offer a front window view of WITN-TV personalities on the set, producing selected local news and information programs broadcast over the air. Greenville visitors can be a part of the live television experience much like that brought to us every day by Katie Couric, Matt Lauer, and Al Roker on the Today Show."

--Mike Weeks - General Manager WITN
