him at distance via the big Ley Pickley Wiggly hotline. But we are going
2:23
to check in with Tim coming up a little bit later on at Meteorologist Brian
2:27
Hughes from Storm Tracker thirteen. When we originally booked Brian to be on the
2:31
show earlier this week, that's when we thought we may be getting a significant
2:36
snow event, or at least a winter event of some kind early tomorrow morning.
2:40
Turns out that's not going to be the case, at least as it
2:43
looks now, although there could be some slick spots in the valley tomorrow morning,
2:47
but it looks like other areas of the state are going to get it,
2:50
not us this time around. But it's always fun to catch up on
2:53

the Canal Charleston, Newman Association with this week's Adopt Me Please Pat of the
3:12
Week Hannah, good morning, Welcome to the show. Hello, I'm doing
3:15
fine. Welcome, Welcome. Do you happy New Year? Did we already
3:20
cover? Was it? No? It wasn't New Year. He's so happy
3:22
New Year, Happy New Year. Any any New Year's resolutions for you?
3:28
Nope, I'll just go with the float and go with the flow, whatever
3:30
whatever that may be. All right, So, uh, it doesn't look
3:35
like we're going to get anything in the way of snow for this year.
3:38
But I have to ask you, just so we can get to know you
3:39
a little bit better. Are you a snow or a wintertime lover? Hannah?
3:44
I so I'm a slummer girl. But when there's snow, I like
3:49
snow, but I don't like just the regular old cold. Okay, Yeah,
3:53
well I see I sold. I guess this is a sign that I'm
3:55
getting older. And I'm much older than you are. But uh, you
4:00
know, I don't mind so much whatever the other nature throws at us,
4:03
as long as it's sunny. You know, these days in the winter when
4:06
there's no sun I can handle it being you know, twenty below zero.
4:11
If their sunshine, that's just that's a sign you're getting old, though,
4:15
so you'll have that to look forward to. All right, let's get to
4:18
March. This week's adopt me. Please spend it the week As always,
4:21
March's picture is posted on Dave Allen Radio on Facebook and The Dave Allen Show
4:27
on x. The artist formally known as Twitter tell us about March. All
4:32
right, Well, Marge was found and brought into us as astray, so
4:39
we don't know much about her background or her history or anything like that.
4:44
We just know what we know since she's been with us, and she did
4:48
come to us back in November of twenty twenty three, and she is still
4:54
kind of newer to Kseha, but she's quickly stolen everybody at the shelter's heart,
5:00
so everybody loves her. She's very, very sweet, she's playful,
5:04
she's great with other dogs. From what we have seen, she's great with
5:09
humans as well. She loves them and she has not shown any issues to
5:13
be around kittens either, because she has been in a few well, she
5:17
has been a foster home with one of our employees, and she has a
5:19
cat, so that's nice to nice. But she's a really really sweet girl.
5:25
She's about two years old as well. Yeah, but she will be.
5:29
Yeah, and she's about fifty pounds. Is that what you told me?
5:31
Yeah, she is about fifty to fifty one pounds the last time we
5:34
weighed her, which was I think maybe like a month ago, but she
5:40
is probably still around that. She's not really going to get any bigger.
5:43
She's fully growned, so she is ready to be adopted. Well, she's
5:46
a beautiful dog. Again, you can see the picture posted on my social
5:48
media pages. Any idea what kind of dog that Marge may be? Not
5:54
one hundred percent sure on what she may be, but she does kind of
5:58
give a little bit of like type of maybe cattle dog, maybe mixed with
6:02
a pity or something. I'm not a hundred so sure she could be entirely
6:06
different than that. But ever since I got one of my dogs the DNA
6:11
tests, I don't think I'm very good at guessing anymore. Well, I
6:15
mean, you just never know, and you don't know what the experiences were
6:17
like, you know, for her, her ancestors, so to speak.
6:21
Beautiful, beautiful dog. And as you said, she has been with various
6:26
families and foster type situations and she seems to do well. And when you
6:30
sent me the picture, you know, last night I showed my wife,
6:32
I said, man, what a beautiful dog this is. This would make
6:35
a great, great pet for somebody heading in to the new year. So
6:40
go on over to my Facebook page or Twitter the artists woman on the X
6:44
and take a look at the picture of Marche. You get back to March
6:46
here in a couple of moments, I did want to get into this.
6:48
You guys did a post on your social media that I thought Hannah was worth
6:55
sharing. For the year twenty twenty three, you had four thousand and ninety
7:00
seven animals that came through the shelter. You had three three hundred and three
7:06
adoptions, three hundred and forty nine that were reunited with their owners, which
7:12
is something we probably don't spend enough time talking about. When somebody picks up
7:15
a you know, a dog or cat gets out or whatever and they get
7:19
back to the shelter and hopefully their microchip can get them back with their owners.
7:23
That's good. One hundred and eighty six surgeries and you had one hundred
7:29
and fifty two puppies with parvo that were treated with a ninety seven percent save
7:34
rate overall with animals at the shelter. You know, again, I'm not
7:38
an expert on this. This is what you and Angie do for a living,
7:41
but I will say those are some pretty darn good numbers. It sounds
7:44
like it to me. Yes, yes, they are some very very good
7:46
numbers, and it seems as though they just keep going up and getting better.
7:51
So we It is very very hard. It's a very tough job.
7:55
It's definitely got a lot of emotion attached to it, but it's very very
8:00
rewarding. I know everybody always hears us say that, but once you actually
8:05
kind of get your foot in there and start working, it is very rewarding.
8:07
You do have your tough times, but you just have to get creative
8:11
and help as many animals as you can, and a lot of what you
8:16
folks do up there hand it would not be possible without volunteers. Correct,
8:20
Yes, we always have. We have a pretty good steady amount of volunteers
8:26
coming in daily, but we always always always want more. So if anybody
8:31
else there wants to volunteer, you can just come on up to the shelter
8:33
and I can give you a tour and cats tell you all about it.
8:37
Or you can even go onto our website and there as a space like a
8:41
little section for volunteers as well on there that you can inquire about volunteers and
8:46
fosters are often needed as well. How exactly does you every week we talk
8:50
about these animals going to fostering, how exactly does that work? I mean,
8:54
does somebody just reach out to you or as you said, go online
8:56
and say I'd like to be a foster? How long do they normally keep
8:58
the How does a foster program work at the Sheld? Yes? So if
9:03
you want a foster, yes, you'll go onto our website and we have
9:07
a section four like helping out with fostering, and you can fill out a
9:11
foster application and then what happens with that application is it goes into our system
9:16
base and then your profile is creative in there and you will be listed as
9:22
a willing foster for whenever we need someone to foster and we may reach out
9:26
to you or maybe you. We also have a KDHA Foster hero Facebook group,
9:33
so if you search that up, then you can join that and you
9:37
can we pretty much post any time in that group whenever we need an emergency
9:41
foster or just a foster in general, and they go out pretty fast because
9:45
we do have so many fosters. But we always, like that said,
9:48
during me more like kit season and puppy season and all of that. During
9:52
that time from like a grillish to maybe September ish, that's when we need
9:58
a lot of fosters because we have all those kittens that need a good foster.
10:01
I got a friend of mine. He and his wife foster cats on
10:05
a regular basis, and I say hats off to those people because once they
10:09
come into my homehanded, they're probably staying. I mean, that's a special
10:15
kind of person that could do that, because once they enter my home and
10:18
they lay around on the couch with me whatever, they're probably going to stay
10:20
with me. So it's probably a good idea of that. I just try
10:22
to do this segment. You know, I'll have ten thousand animals hanging around
10:26
the house. I do want to report that the dog we had on the
10:31
show last week. I had Carrie who to sect for the news team and
10:33
with me last week, Hamlin, our dog last week was adopted. So
10:37
thank you so much to our listeners of the segment each week and to find
10:41
people that adopted Hamblin. That was a great looking dog. Yes, yes,
10:45
it's a very very sweet dog and we were so glad that he got
10:48
adopted. All right, what else is going on at the shelter? And
10:50
I always like to give an opportunity to talk about things that you are in
10:54
need of. But do you have any activity? I know it's winter time,
10:56
but do you have any activities coming up? And what are some of
10:58
the things that the shelter could use right now? I don't think that there's
11:03
really any events or anything happening, at least not this week that I know
11:07
of. I know that this is kind of just like a new week,
11:11
a new year, and we're getting back into the swing of things. So
11:13
we'll probably have some events coming up, but not exactly sure when those will
11:18
be. We of course always need donations, we need fosters, volunteers,
11:22
all of that stuff. And if you can't do any of that, we
11:26
always say that spreading the word helps, share in our Facebook post, helps
11:28
coming up and just dropping off a date of sheets that you have in your
11:31
attic or something helps. So we always need sheets, blankets, cowels,
11:39
wash rags, handtowels, stuff like that. But then of course we could
11:41
always use food for the dogs and the cats, which we do use Purina
11:46
dog chow and Purina cat and kit and chow. And then of course we
11:50
always need soaks, clubs. Dog colors are a big thing that we would
11:56
love to have because we try to put a collar on every dog that comes
11:58
in through the because it helped us a little bit more. So all of
12:03
those things would be very very we would be grateful to have. All Right,
12:07
Hannah, keep doing what you do and we'll talk again next week.
12:09
Thanks a lot, thank you, and a gardner again from the Canal charlest
12:13
New Main Association with this week's Adopt Me Please pedal of the week. Those
12:16
numbers again, I mean this incredible numbers. There four ninety seven animals,
12:22
total capital to the shelter last week, thirty thirty three oh three adoptions,
12:26
three thousand, three hundred three adoptions, three hundred and forty nine animal reunites
12:33
with their pet Mommy and Daddy's one hundred and eighty six surgeries and they were
12:37
able to save a lot of treat a lot of puppies with parvo in ninety
12:43
seven percent save rate at the shelter last week. So I think, as
12:46
I said, hats off the hand on Angi and all tho folks up there
12:48
because they do a wonderful job, And hats off to you if you're a
12:50
volunteer for the shelter. All right, recapping Marge again. Picture posted if
12:54

17:40
head of the Charleston CVB, joins us. Now, Tim, good
17:42
morning, how are you. I'm good, Dave. I'm workshopping this really
17:45
great Kathleen Turner impersonation. Can you do a little Bonnie Tyler total eclips of
17:52
the heart for me this morning? It started out as hardy fire Steed,
17:55
and then as it's gotten deeper, I feel like I'm Kathleen Turner. Great
17:59
to be on the line with you. I apologize in advance for the raspy
18:03
boy. Hey, then you sound good? You know? You and I
18:04
were texting back and forth yesterday and I even told the folks that stopped the
18:08
show that you were feeling a little bit under the weather, but I appreciate
18:11
you being a trooper and calling in tim This of course, being the first
18:15
week of the year. With all my guests this week, I've been giving
18:18
them a chance, you know, to kind of look back on the year
18:21
that was twenty twenty three and look ahead to twenty twenty four. I want
18:23
to start with last year and I want to focus on some of the big
18:26
sporting events of the year for Charleston and the surrounding areas. Now we all
18:30
know about the boys and girls state basketball tournaments and what that does for Charleston
18:36
State Baseball tournament as well, but I want to talk about some of the
18:38
other big events. One in particular that I was doing some reading some of
18:42
the information from you guys, and that was that International Table Tennis Federation event
18:48
last July. I talk about that, man, that was huge. Yeah,
18:49
we hosted the International Table Tennis Federation's PM Youth Championships here in Charleston.
18:56
We had two hundred plus youth athletes from all over North, South and Central
19:02
America in Charleston. They were here for almost a full two weeks. As
19:07
a matter of fact, because of the Because of US hosting that tournament,
19:11
USA Table Tennis moved their training camp to Charleston for several days prior to the
19:15
event. So you know, that one event inside the coliseum, and it's
19:19
kind of a niche sport, right, so we understood that it wasn't going
19:23
to drive enormous attendments. We did sell tickets and people had a good time,
19:27
But when you think about that, I mean, that was that was
19:30
international championship play going on right here in Charleston, and it was really great
19:36
for the downtown hotel and restaurant communities for those you know, for those two
19:40
weeks that they were in town. And we followed that up with with the
19:45
International Volleyball Tournament in partnership with USA Volleyball, seven men's national teams from North,
19:52
South, and Central America's coming to Charleston. So internationally we had a
19:56
really great year. Well, and I just wanted to throw this in here.
20:00
Sometimes it's not necessarily about selling tickets here as much as it is about
20:06
the people that come in. As you said, some of these things are
20:07
kind of in each a sport. But still, I mean, obviously you
20:12
can look at ticket sales for the state Boys and Girls basketball termams or state
20:15
baseball turnam, but whatever the case may be. But sometimes when you bring
20:19
these things in, you're talking about multiple multiple teams. That's multiple hotels,
20:23
that's multiple people that are going down to you know, fill in restaurant name
20:29
here to have a bite to eat or drink afterwards or whatever. That's what
20:33
you really look at here. That's that's exactly right. And I'm going to
20:37
throw one more component on top of that, and that is So we started
20:41
out with table tennis, we developed it, and they're all governed by USA
20:45
Sports, the Olympic governing bodies for sports in the United States. So we
20:49
developed a good relationship with USA Table Tennis, and then we parlayed that into
20:55
some conversations with and developing a good relationship with USA Volleyball, and then all
20:59
of that pays forward when we look ahead to twenty twenty four and for six
21:03
days, Charleston, West Virginia is going to be the center of the cycling
21:07
universe because USA Cycling is bringing their USA Road Pro National Championship event to Charleston,
21:15
West Virginia for five years beginning in twenty twenty four. Had previously been
21:19
at Knoxville, Philadelphia, and Greenville, South Carolina before that. So you
21:23
know, we developed these relationships with governing bodies and then those begin to pay
21:27
themselves forward as you develop more and more of those relationships. And I'll tell
21:33
you now, Dave, this USA Cycling event in May will be the biggest
21:37
sports event in my opinion, that we've ever hosted in the city of Charleston,
21:44
outside of girls and boys state high school basketball. It's going to be
21:48
massive and touch every part of the city. Tim Brady from the Charleston CVB
21:52
joins us this morning and again Tamp. These organizations, as you said,
21:56
talk to each other, you know, and so they have organizations that they
22:02
have, you know, trade trade groups, whatever. They talk to each
22:04
other. What did you think about Charleston and the surrounding areas? And what
22:08
I love about it is is what you said about this cycling thing, Tim,
22:11
is that this has previously been held in Knoxville. Knoxville is a great
22:15
city. I've spent time in Knoxville. I'm sure you have as well.
22:18
It's a big old city, you know. Philadelphia is a big old city.
22:22
Charleston, West Virginia not so much a big old city, but we're
22:26
right up there now with all these big time players. Yeah, we absolutely
22:30
are. And that's a credit to a couple of things. One, you
22:33
know, we have a great hotel community here in Charleston. They're always willing
22:37
to work with us and to do what has to happen to make things work
22:44
for the indoor sports. They have a great relationship with the Charleston Coliseum and
22:47
Convention Center. You know, they're Patrick Leahy, the general manager there and
22:49
his team are just absolutely wonderful to work with. But over all of that,
22:56
we have an incredibly supportive and positive city govern that starts with mayor and
23:00
the Goodwin who is our biggest champion, and Charleston City Council also incredibly supportive.
23:07
You know, there'll be a lot of city services involved with this cycling
23:10
race, and the absolute number one thing that was said at every table we
23:18
sat down at what do we need to do to make this happen. So
23:21
there is a spirit of collaboration in this city and that is evident to these
23:25
groups when they when they come in to scout Charleston as potential destination. And
23:29
what is the timeframe again for this cycling ends in May? Right? What
23:32
time of the life is it's May fourteenth through the nineteenth, and it includes
23:37
three components, a time trial, a criterion, and road race, so
23:41
different components, different spectating options. I'll come back to the show and talk
23:45
oh yeah several times between now and Between now and May. We're still working
23:51
out some of the fine details. I will say that we're recruiting volunteers.
23:56
We're going to need about three hundred volunteers to help pull it off. You
24:00
can go to our website CHARLESTONWV dot com and on the home pages a link
24:04
to the Cycling Landing page and you can sign up to volunteer there. We'll
24:07
again talk more about them. But this event is going to be huge and
24:11
it's going to be exciting, and I am so looking forward to this cycling
24:18
event. But Dave Island Showing five any Live is brought to you part by

Tim. Now, I know that this first of the year and everybody's
24:44
just trying to recover get their footing for the year twenty twenty four, But
24:47
when can we start to see some numbers roll in? I know that you're
24:51
a numbers kind of guy, and I like numbers as well. When it
24:52
comes to this sort of stuff. We always talk about heads and beds and
24:56
overall economic impact. I know, again it's only the fifth day of the
24:59
new year, but are we anticipating some overall numbers to come out soon about
25:03
the impact of some of these big events that the CVB has been involved in
25:07
in the year twenty twenty three. Yeah, And there's two answers to that
25:11
question. One, we run on a July one fiscal year, so really
25:14
will do our reah, Yeah, if you're reporting June thirtieth. However,
25:17
with that being said, I think we can look and we are going to
25:19
look at some of the things that happened in calendar year twenty twenty three.
25:23
One of the things I'm most excited about, and it's going to take three
25:27
weeks or so to really get all of the data aggregate it. But Christmas
25:33
and the holiday season in Charleston, West Virginia this year was bunkers And I
25:37
mean that in the best possible way. You had over one hundred thousand people
25:41
going through the gates at Gomart Ballpark for late the night at the stadium.
25:47
You had throngs of people at Capital Market for their themed holiday weekends. You
25:52
had just massive amounts of people downtown at Holly Jolly Brawley and in Slack Plaza.
26:00
The you know KRT Holly Jolly trolley had people on it every time I
26:03
saw it going down the street. I'm super excited to see what the impact
26:07
of all of this holiday festivity hullabaloo is is going to show, because I've
26:15
never seen anything like it in the twelve years that I've lived in Charleton,
26:18
just the numbers of people that were out and moving around and doing things during
26:22
the holiday season. So hopefully mid to late January we'll have some real numbers
26:29
on what some of those attendance figures were, and how many of those people
26:33
came from out of town I'm guessing a significant amount, and what kind of
26:37
economic impact all of that stuff happened when you have all these people coming in.
26:41
You mentioned the cycling event whatever, and people say I see online chatter
26:45
all the time, you know, where people say, well, why do
26:47
we need to build another hotel? This is why we need more hotels exactly.
26:51
Yeah. I mean I think another downtown hotel would certainly benefit us,
26:55
if not too. That's personal opinion. That's not you know, coming from
26:59
anybody but me personally, but you know, I think another hotel would be
27:03
beneficial down near the Colisseum and convention Center. Because the one thing we haven't
27:07
talked about in all of this that we've been recapping is the phenomenal job that
27:12
they've been doing booking concerts and live entertainment at the Coliseum and convention Center,
27:18
sold out show after sold out show, artists that you never at a million
27:22
years thought would play Charleston playing Charleston. I just you look at all of
27:26
the live entertainment options that that that squad over there is bringing in, and
27:30
it's it's just remarkable what's happening in our city, and it's driving more and
27:36
more visitation to Charleston, West Virginia. Indeed, and before you know it,
27:40
we haven't talked about the one of the biggest events, if not the
27:42
biggest that's Forgatta, and it's going to be happening this summer. And it
27:48
was a huge success for the first two years. No reason to think it's
27:51
not going to be this year as well. That's right. You know,
27:52
I think there was a regarded Commission meeting last week that that I was able
27:57
to or earlier this week rather than I was able to sit in on.
28:00
And you know, the thing about Regatta was year one. I don't think
28:03
anybody knew what to expect. Year two you fix some things that could have
28:07
been done differently in year one. And what I've gathered and what I'm seeing
28:11
is that year three is really about fine tuning and making it the best possible
28:17
event it can be. You take all of the lessons from years one and
28:19
two and now you've got I think you're developing some formulas for this is what
28:26
this event is going to be, This is where the money needs to be
28:27
invested, and this is going to be an absolutely phenomenal Regatta in twenty twenty
28:34
four. Yeah, I think so. And I've got Brian Hughes actually as
28:37
the next person to be on the show. He's talking a little weather,
28:38
but he always gets an opportunity to throw in some regatta talk there as well.
28:41
Hey, Tim, I appreciate you being here. As I said to
28:44
you, a little down and out, but you're a trooper, You're true
28:48
pro and I appreciate you doing that Kathleen Turner slash Bonnie Tyler thing going on
28:53
here. So I appreciate man. We'll talk again soon. Get well soon.
28:56

And I'm going to follow up before we go to break on something that
29:23
Tim said there about the excitement around not only the city of Charleston, not
29:27
only the Kanal Valley, but really the entire state of West Virginia. Right
29:32
now, you know this state gets the crap beat out of it from time
29:34
to time, including by talking heads like me, you know, saying that,
29:38
well this sucks and that sucks. Whatever. It's a pretty dang exciting
29:44
time to be in West Virginia right now. I mean, it really really
29:47
is. With all you got all these activities going on in Charleston. Tim
29:48
mentioned about the concerts that are coming to the Conliseum and Convention Center. I
29:55
mean, acts that we never thought would come here. But you know that's
29:57
not it's not just about entertainment, and it's about all of these different this
30:02
cycling thing. As Tim said in the month of May, this is going
30:04
to be the biggest sporting event of its type, spread out over so many
30:10
days that Charleston has ever seen. Again, with all due respect to the
30:14
boys and girls state basketball tournaments and the boys baseball tournament brings a lot of
30:17
people in. I enjoy going to all the games as well as a fan
30:19
myself, But this is something Charleston has never seen before, and we're seeing
30:26
a lot so much of this in West Virginia, and it's just trying to
30:30
get everybody on the right page. I know, want to sound very Pollyanna
30:33
when I say this, but trying to get everybody on the right page,
30:36
on the same page, and realize that you've got great events going on throughout
30:41
the Canal Valley and all of the municipalities, not just Charleston and Tay's Valley
30:45
where I live, and the Huntington and things of that nature. Plus these
30:48
economic announcements that are coming in daily, I mean daily. You know,
30:52
we just had LG, we got new Core, we got all these other
30:55
ones all around the state of West Virginia. It's a pretty excite time to
31:00
be in West Virginia. It really really is. Today Island Showing five eighty

speaking of holidays and Charleston the Mall, I went there with my baby and

a stroller for holiday things and there are no ramps to the mauled entrances from
34:35
the parking garage only stairs. Shouldn't there be ramps for easy access as well
34:39
as ADA compliance? Yeah, one one would think, all right, let's
34:45
go to the homes meteorolitist Brian Hughes from WWK TV Storm Track or thirteen,
34:50
Good morning sir, how are you. I'm doing great. Yeah, I'm
34:52
attached to them all. And just so you know, you got to go
34:54
all the way down the elevators to the first floor and then there's ramps from
34:59
there. There you go, Oh, there you go. And not only
35:01
meteorologists but also mall guide Brian Hughes. Spoiler alert, mister Hughes, spoiler
35:07
alert. Okay, this past Wednesday, I had a chance to go back
35:10
to my hometown of La Logan, uh An area to do some TV commercials
35:16
for my hometown, Giovanni's in Logan, and we filmed on Wednesday. Those
35:21
commercials are going to start running next week on your station. I'm told.
35:25
Pretty heavy rotation, so you see, I am no longer content with just
35:30
doing radio weather boy. I am multi platform now, so so look out,
35:37
Okay, I'm coming for your job. I'm just curious how much makeup
35:40
did you have to use? Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.
35:45
Don't worry about it. Listen, did you did you bring in makeup
35:47
artists from like Hollywood to do you up? Maybe? Maybe? Don't hate,
35:52
man, don't hate, don't hate. Don't hate the player hate the
35:54
game. All right, so this made massive, this massive storm event that
35:59
everyone was sharing talking about as early as Monday this week not exactly going to
36:02
be the storm of the century. Brian. And you know what, I
36:06
can tell you this since you and I talked to last Friday and I said,
36:09
said, what do you think about that storm next week? He goes
36:13
eh. I said, yeah, I'm kind of thinking of the same thing.
36:15
It's probably a wedge, easy wedge, and he goes, Yep,
36:16
it's the wedge. And I said, a good deal. Just along as
36:19
we're on the same page, which essentially means it's much at nothing. But
36:24
you know, on Facebook and maybe a station or two people got overly excited
36:30
about the storm. So that's what kind of ramped it up. But yeah,
36:35
listen, it's going to be a lot of cold rain tomorrow. But
36:38
but you know, there's gonna be a few spots, you know, early
36:40
in the morning we could have a little snowslide by with some rain mixing in.
36:45
And then there's probably a period from about eighteen ten o'clock in the morning
36:49
in southern Ohio where the rain's gonna it's gonna rain harder than I feel to
36:53
draw a cold deer from the mid and uber levels of the atmosphere down the
36:57
surface, and it might snow for a little bit, but the rain's going
37:00
to wash it all off. I mean, we're not talking anything significant in
37:05
regardless snowcumulation, except for like Marlinton and Snowshoe could see half a foot,
37:09
you know, Somersville might get a half inch to an inch at best.
37:15
You know, So so really here in the Canal Valley, it is going
37:20
to be a quick shot at maybe it's some snowflakes, maybe between eight and
37:22
ten you get a frief little snowflake mixeding in, but it's mostly a cold
37:27
rain. Well, and when I had reached out to you earlier this week,
37:30
you know about coming on today. And I say this because a lot
37:35
of times people see long range forecast and I'm kind of a weather geek,
37:38
and I'm probably as guilty as everybody else. I'm looking ahead because I travel
37:42
a lot. I'm looking ahead and you know now, looking at it like
37:44
next Thursday or Friday, for example, and thinking about, well, I
37:47
gotta travel here, what's it going to be? But you simply on these
37:51
long range weather forecasts. And I saw people losing their minds over this on
37:54
social media Monday or Tuesday. You sit with all of it, and you
37:58
guys do a fantastic stick job over there. But even with all the technology
38:02
we have today, you cannot predict it that far out like people were trying
38:07
to do. Is that right? That is correct? I mean listen,
38:10
there was another TV station that claried tomorrow and alert day on Tuesday, and
38:15
I was like, you guys are crazy. I will not speak of what
38:21
single channel number. It is way down on the dial. But we've got
38:25
weather wars now, Jeff, queue up, the queue up the w c
38:30
W theme for us. We've got weather wars now. Go ahead, bright.
38:36
You know Big John and I do this all the time on his place
38:38
too. Yeah, but no. Here's but the thing is, yes,
38:43
you know, if you looked at Monday's model model analysis and Tuesday, you
38:49
go, man, we can get a lot of snow. But as I
38:52
said, and I know you watch us in the morning, you know you
38:55
put are to watch us in the morning as well. But I said on
39:00
Monday, and I said on Tuesday, and I said on Wednesday. The
39:02
warm wedge, the warm wedge, the warm wedge is going to win over.
39:07
The pattern is setting up like that. But all the forecast models,
39:09
if you look at just the raw output with no interpolation to them, then
39:15
you go, oh, by gosh, the world is going to end.
39:19
But it's not. And so that's what we're looking at. And listen,
39:23
I think the bigger concern is Tuesday storm. And that's because we're going to
39:27
have heavy rain and wind. I mean Tuesday, this coming Tuesday, Monday
39:30
will be dry. Tuesday, we're going to get the wind in the rain,
39:36
and we're talking wind guts of forty to fifty around here. You get
39:39
up into the highest elevation West Virginia, we're talking sixty mile of our wind
39:44
gus. So Tuesday is a day where we could have some power outs just
39:47
around the region. But the temperature is going to be fifty five, so
39:51
nothing first, worry about pur hides, you know, and then unlight mixed
39:53
is possible Wednesday morning on the backsize of the system. But here's what happens.
39:58
I know, you know this, But next weekend we're going to get
40:01
another storm system, and that one. This is a series of three storms.
40:06
This weekend Tuesday's storm, and then next weekend we'll get another storm system
40:12
and that will flip the pattern. So in let's see here a week and
40:16
a half, we're gonna see highs for you know, a solid week of
40:22
low to mid thirty So so we you know winter is coming. It's the
40:25
second half of January and much of February. So this week or so,
40:30
let's say this next week it's gonna be relatively mild for our temperatures. The
40:36
following week it gets really cold. We'll warm up for the final week of
40:39
January with our little January thought, and then going back into February, middle
40:44
to like that first week of February might be a touch form. Then we'll
40:46
go right back into a deep free so and these are all based on global
40:52
patterns that are happening now, historic patterns that we're able to match up,
40:58
and we know exactly how this is. And so too, let me go
41:00
back to Tuesday, this high wind event on Tuesday. If you haven't taken
41:05
down your Christmas decorations yet, Brian, they're about to come down on their
41:07
own Tuesday. Is that what you're saying? Yes, Mother Nature will assist
41:12
you in carrying them down. You might want to tear them down because now
41:15
you know you have to wrap them all up and take them off. Just
41:17
that listen, Mother Nature is going to do that for you. So yeah,
41:22
I'm more concerned about Tuesday. We even get a couple of rumbles of
41:24
thunder one wow, So I'd be more concerned about that than what we've got
41:29
coming this weekend. Well, and again we just leave the weather predicting up
41:32
to As I said, I'm a weather geek as big as anybody else.
41:35
To leave the weather predicting up to the professionals, you know what I mean.
41:37
And you guys, you and Spencer and the entire team do a great,
41:40
great job there. But you're saying that as somebody who absolutely cannot stand
41:45
winter weather, I don't mind necessarily the cold, as I said earlier in
41:49
the show, as long as your sunshine. But I'm not a snow lover
41:51
by any stretch of the imagination. We will get snowstorms at some point that
41:54
will impact the Charleston area, but this is not it. Yeah all,
42:00
No, not at all. And and listen, I think we're gonna,
42:05
you know, make up make up for essentially the lost snow that we haven't
42:08
seen yet. I think we're gonna make it for that once again second half
42:13
of January and then through the month of February. But and I think we're
42:16
gonna have more snow than we had last year. Well we didn't have a
42:19
whole lot last year, Brian, so that's not a whole lot exactly.
42:22
But you know, the patterns favor favor us getting more snow, and part
42:28
of that is elviing, you know. And and then also you know the
42:31
strata spirit warming events over the North Pole, so you know, there's a
42:37
lot of things to play. And I'm honestly, and you know this because
42:39
you watched, and I know you have and because you listened intently. But
42:44
I've talked about this for more than a month, almost two months, that
42:49
winter is coming, but it's going to be primarily at the end of it
42:52
second half of January and February. Okay, all right, Brian, keep
42:57
doing what you do and we will talk so and thanks a lot, my
43:00

43:20
before we go to break and I kind of tease this a little bit earlier.
43:22
I may have mentioned a couple of days ago, but we ain't ready
43:24
to do an event here. We're kind of excited about and I'm talking about
43:28
all the stations of WVRC Media here at eleven eleven. We're all kind of
43:31
teaming up for this. We're calling it the Drop your Socks Drive Through.
43:36

43:39

43:45
bring new socks to our studios at eleven eleven Virginia Streetd's here in Charleston,
43:52
and we're going to get them to those in need this holiday season. Now
43:54
one have more details as we get a little bit closer, but go ahead
43:57
and get that ingrained memory. On January the eighteenth, teep it up with
44:02
Thornhill for the Drop your Socks drive through, and we're going to be accepting
44:07
donations of new socks here at our studios. The Texas follow up to this
44:15
was a follow up to the text I had about the entrance and needing ramps
44:21
for the Town Center mall and following up to what Brian Hughes said Texas,
44:25
I shouldn't have to use dirty, smelly, cold elevators to access the mall.
44:30
Also, there are no ramps in the curbs to get on the sidewalk
44:32
to access the elevators. How's a person in a wheelchair who parks in the
44:37
third level supposed to get to an elevator when there's a seven inch high curb
44:40
with no ramp cutout. So the mall wants traffic access needs to be improved,
44:46

48:22
more on that coming up, coming up next hour, Texas, says Dave.
48:28
I moved to Logan in nineteen ninety six. Very first Saturday I was
48:30
there. I was on my way to work and saw a man walking down
48:32
Stratton Treet at seven thirty in the morning, wearing shorts at a tank top
48:36
and a straw hat, drinking a Budweiser. When I passed him, I
48:39
realized it was the mayor and thought to myself, I'm going to like this
48:42
down Well, I'm just got it. It wasn't me. Text says I
48:46
see where the Charleston Westerroninida City Council voted to the table a ceasefire resolution of
48:50
the Israelian a mos war. What they need to do is pass a ceasefire
48:52
resolution about the thugs on Charleston's West Side and elsewhere that have ruined the town.
48:59
Look use here, Hey, it's Danny Jones Sarafino at the timer.
49:04
Lime doesn't worry. I don't believe that now. I don't believe that we're
49:07
talking about the mayor of Logan. You good friend, my good friend,
49:09
Serafino no Letty. Now he wasn't mayor at that time. He's a good
49:14
that could have been me. Maybe maybe that's what they now. At seven
49:16
thirty in the morning on the Saturday, I would have been on the air
49:19
at the radio station there, So now it wasn't me. And plus I
49:21
don't drink bud Wise, I'm a middle light guy. But yeah, well
49:25
it's Dandy Jones. How how are you? Man? I'm gonna be on
49:28
with Hoppey opening up the show? And can I talk about what I was
49:32
talking about? Sure? Go ahead, man, I got I got three
49:35
minutes going, all right, I was, I was telling him. I
49:37
watched a video this morning of Demon Wilson, who was lamon Lamont Sandford and
49:44
the greatest show ever Sandford and Son, and I posted on my Facebook page
49:46
if you want to set the top of my Facebook page, and I found
49:51
out a few things. He first thing, he was a Broadway actor.
49:54
They came after him to do the show because they saw him on he did.
50:00
He had one appearance on All in the Family. He was a Broadway
50:02
actor and a very sophisticated guy, and he was he could dance, and
50:10
they showed that in one show on Sanford and Son. So when he left
50:15
Sanford Son he wasn't allowed or when he got off TV, he wasn't allowed
50:20
to be on anything. They said, your contract obligates you not to be
50:24
interviewed if your house is burning down. So he went to Vegas because he
50:29
left on pretty bad terms, and they came back with the show that was
50:32
just called Sanford Sanford Arms. No're two different shows. Sanford Arms was a
50:37
show, but there was also a show just called Sanford where Fred took in
50:42
a real big, big, old white guy from Texaserica. Here's Here's here's
50:47
something I know about Demon Wilson. He later, when his contract was over,
50:51
appeared on a version on ABC of The Odd Couple The Outcome with Ron
50:57
Glass from Barney Man, and Ron Glass played the more effeminate role. Yes,
51:00
and it was. I watched it live, I watched it. I
51:04
liked it all right. Real quick, Danny, I know you were on
51:06
Hoppy yesterday and you could be on Hoppy again today. Let's close real quick,
51:09
give me forty five seconds on you and I are on the same page
51:13
on this thing. That Charleston City Council did the right thing by tabling that
51:15
that resolution. Ye see, unlike unlike most governments, what Charleston City Charleston
51:22
does is real and it's very close and they do not need to take these
51:27
views on extraneous issues. There's other ways you can make that. Don't bring
51:31
its to city council. You want to take the city council hostage and make
51:36
the people on council that don't go their way. Oh, they're all terrible,
51:42
shame, shame, shame. No they're not. It's not their business.
51:45
I mean, it's their business personally. But city council needs to focus
51:49
on doing real things for real people. Yeah, do that sort of thing,
51:52
police, fire protection, you know that sort of thing. I don't
51:55
think they need to be getting involved in this, that's my opinion. I
51:59
think that they need to help make the mayor strong, just sell the city.
52:04
All right, leave it there, we gotta go. You're coming up
52:07
on the hoppy at ten oh six. I think that yah, all right?
52:09
Cool? Looking forward to that to Dave Iland showing five anyone brought to
52:13
you by by Morgan at Morgan, America's largest injury law firm right. We
52:15
got to go Hollywood. Jeffatty was my producer to day. Jeff, thank
52:17
you so much. Mayor Monday, Charles Mayor, Amy good Will be on
52:21
the show. Secretary of State, Google Tour candidate mcwarner, delegate and State
52:23
Democratic Party Chair Mike Pushkin, and Megan deal from Goodwill all coming up on
52:28
Monday Show. And you don't want to mess when I got Patrick Morrissey on
52:30
the show, Danny, that's gonna be next Tuesday. You don't want to
52:32
miss that. All right, we gotta go. Have you some a great
52:36
