I live in Burlington. WPTZ serves both markets and has newsrooms/studios both in Plattsburgh and in Colchester, Vermont.

I would star this a hundred times if I could. Vermonters drive slow under the best of conditions, but once it snows they just... crawl. I followed some panic-stricken moron on a perfectly fine, semi-snow covered road at 12-15 mph yesterday. I saw two other people get their dumb asses stuck on a hill because they were

Hey now, in the world of Northern Vermont weather forecasting, Tom Messner is a God. He gets to name his Storm Tracker radar anything he wants.

Emmit Smith prefers escape goats.

Can I get an amen? The Russians do some things very, very well. Drink. Fight brutal wars of attrition. And design stunning fighter aircraft.

Yep. They knew that bridge was approaching its end eventually. Then they did an inspection and were like "Oh shit! Everybody off the bridge!"

I'm in Vermont. That's almost the States, right? But yes, I was speaking specifically in terms of US pricing. Man, that hurts to hear that an Abarth would be that much more expensive just 30 minutes north of me.

I really don't think you'd pay $27K for a new Abarth with leather and premium wheels. I paid $19K for this same setup 9 months ago on a '13 Abarth. And from what I hear, good deals are still out there.

It ain't the cost. You can find new Abarths well below $20K. Reliability is somewhat of a concern, but really, anyone buying a VW is already rolling dice.

We just bought an '05 Mazda3 hatch to replace the Honda Fit my son mangled. For a decade-old car, it looks damn fine. Really appreciate the subdued styling.

Can I hear one for the Champlain Bridge that spans the St. Lawrence River and is a vital north-south commuter link into Montreal? That bridge—the busiest in Canada—is quite literally falling apart, and there are real concerns the span could fail catastrophically before it can be replaced. In November 2013 a crack in a

Neither Barrett nor Braxton will be available for spring ball, and Braxton's injury is a real concern. It's not guaranteed he'll be able to throw well even by fall. So Cardale Jones will be getting #1 snaps into the summer, and will likely be the default incumbent come August.

Yep. This was the result of a prank by someone at the newspaper.

Do you think the pilot would have flown through a flock of birds if he had access to a modern lidar system?

SEC will never agree to go north in December. No way.

Seriously. And let's talk a minute about Air France 447. That accident was a result of gross pilot incompetence, pure and simple.

A runway overrun is not a little thing, which I think you end up acknowledging. It's definitely a serious incident, and one that can easily result in injury or death.

Runner-up: White-on-white VW Rabbit Cabriolet. The tennis skirt of cars.

Of course not. But this is really unusual, for a single airline to have a fatal crash and then a major incident like this back to back.

If the plane flew directly through a storm cell, it absolutely could have broken up in flight. But something would have to go terribly wrong for that to happen.
