Freezing rain, sleet and snow pummel St. Louis area, making travel dangerous and prompting closings Some areas north of Interstate 70 could see a foot of snow by the time the storm moves out Monday morning.

Aren’t you glad you waited in those long lines at the grocery store Friday and Saturday?

My report today for @stlpublicradio.bsky.social:

The opening monologue of an awards show is such a tough challenge and Nikki Glaser rocked it at the #goldenglobes.

The Chalamet / Sandler bit was among the best.

Oh yeah, I know a couple people in that running club. Running clubs/local running stores are where it’s at.

Meet the new prophet, about the same as the old prophet (just with a new name and a different elaborate face covering.)

On the other site, Grok is kinda fun. But I’m not going to post there.

Instructions: Have a happy journalist broadcasting beneath the Gateway Arch in a blizzard with a vintage microphone.

Food delivery, flowers, Amazon: How Keisha Scarlett spent $141K of St. Louis Public Schools money St. Louis Public Radio obtained credit card statements from former St. Louis Public Schools Superintendent Keisha Scarlett that are at the center of a new district investigation.

Let's face it: Submitting reimbursement requests is a pain. I'm dealing w/ the minutia of whether I get a full meal reimbursed or 1/2 of the state per diem for an extended travel day.

Stories like these are a good reminder about the importance of internal controls. www.stlpr.org/education/20...

The Continental Building in St. Louis is one of my favorites in the city. Completed in 1930, the Art Deco skyscraper has truly stunning detail.

It’s right by where I work at @stlpublicradio.bsky.social, and I think these red and green doorway lights are new this season.

Before leaving, I took in some of the holiday music being performed by school groups. I caught most of the Eugene High School Band from Eugene, Missouri, (pop. 143) in Cole County.

After the interview, at the governor’s invitation, we went to the Governor’s Mansion. There, First Lady Teresa Parson showed us around.

The mansion at Christmastime is stunning.

Made a car rental reservation with Enterprise with my corporate account but they called an hour before I was supposed to pick it up to say that they don’t have a car.

Now that my Apple Music year-in-review is already in, I have the rest of the month to listen to whatever I want and not be judged by the Apple overlords.
