                    From: http://www.kentucky.com/news/local/counties/fayette-county/article56019145.html
                    "Freezing rain began turning to sleet about 6 a.m. in the south, with moderate snow on the leading edge of the storm, the weather service reported on Twitter. Just before 8 a.m., the heavy snow began to pick up, pelting parts of the state at a rate of 1 to 2 inches an hour.

                    Kentucky State Police posted on Twitter about 2:30 p.m. that multiple wrecks in Rockcastle County have closed all lanes of Interstate 75 for 12 miles between London and Mount Vernon. The estimated delay was two to four hours."

                    For anyone that has had to commute through a snow belt by one of the Great Lakes, that's known as "Tuesday". Worth maybe a yawn. Kinda crazy how different the reactions and preparedness are just 200 miles south.

                          The USS Stockdale has set sail for the first time. As part of the USA's "Green Fleet" movement to make the Navy more green and look at alternative fuel options, this destroyer is powered by waste beef fat.

                            The park encourages the public to catch and send in spiders so it can use them to produce anti-venom.

                            The park encourages people to attempt to catch deadly venemous spiders.

                              Yeah that's a big mental. Encouraging people to send them in if caught is one thing. But encouraging people to go out looking for them seems a little reckless.

                              "Hey kids, guess what we are going to do this weekend... we are going spider hunting!"

                                My wife grew up on a Texas 1 parcel ranch. She raised money as a young teenager by catching rattle snakes for the Rattle Snake Roundup. Train them right, have the anti-venom readily available, and maybe. Don't know that I'd actively encourage doing that tho.

                                    Was it the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater per chance?

                                      I'm not positive, but I'd be very surprised if it wasn't the one in Sweetwater.

                                        My parents had a wood pile for our wood stove when I was a kid. We had a diamond back and a couple others. We got the shotgun, not a container.

                                            Figures an Australian would say that. They also catch sharks to cull the population.
