BNVN Weather Paparazzi Tony Laubach was out in the snow today in Denver, CO and shot video of Denver’s first big snow of the season that promises to add well to the meager 1.5″ of snow that’s fallen so far for the entire season.

Snow totals of up to a foot are possible over parts of the Denver Metro Area through Friday morning.

Video package shot at the Orchard Town Center outdoor mall on the north side of Denver (Westminster). With an extremely busy post-Christmas week, the snow cleared out crowds entirely as barely anyone came out to the mall. Video opens up with the Christmas tree in the center of the mall and follows with various shots of the few brave souls who came out in the sub-freezing temperatures and even colder wind chills. Various shots of bundles up kids and adults along with traffic shots in the falling snow.

For the third time in less than ten days, central Minnesota has been hit hard with another winter storm that crippled the roads during the afternoon rush hour on Monday.

The Minnesota State Patrol reported dozens of vehicles had spun out and ended up in the ditch and numerous crashes around the metro and along the Interstate 94 corridor to St. Cloud, MN.

In the video it shows poor driving conditions along interstate 94 and into the metro area where several cars were off to the side of the interstate after crashing.

At the height of the rush hour, traffic along Cedar Avenue in Richfield, next to the Minneapolis – St. Paul International Airport was at a crawl with travel times take up to forty five minutes to an hour just to drive ten miles to cross the Minnesota River.

Also in the video are various clips of snow plows and snow clean up at night and airplanes taking off and landing at the airport Additional clips of airplanes being deiced.

In Sarasota, FL this morning, BNVN Weather Paparazzi shot this video of cold ‘sand blasting’ winds on Siesta Key Beach. The southern end of the massive storm system that brought blizzard conditions to the northern states is now pushing into Florida. Most of the state of Florida is under Hard Freeze Warnings and even ind Chill Warnings for the Sunshine State.

The good news about this weather is that the surfers in Florida are loving it with high surf warnings for the Gulf Coast of Florida.

As the extreme winter storm moved off to the east, in it’s wake it brought high winds to Lake Michigan where BNVN Weather Paparazzi and Captian Eric Treece of the Wilfred Sykes was anchored in Milwaukee Harbor. Eric brought the ship in during a winter storm. Video shows misc scenes with waves smashing into the Milwaukee Harbor Lighthouse and Breakwall. The lighthouse in the video is 61′ high and the waves were easily clearing the top of that as they crashed into it. Highest wind gust on the Sykes was 60 Mph.

Warning, don’t try this at home. If you burn your house down, don’t blame me.
*** THERE IS NO METAL IN THE JALAPENO PEPPER ***

While cooking dinner and needing to thaw out a frozen Jalapeno in the microwave, I found that some of them will get really hot, and will actually spark like metal in a microwave.

*** THERE IS NO METAL IN THE JALAPENO PEPPER ***
The microwaves cook with waves of energy that excite the water
molecules in your food which cause your food to cook.

In just the right size frozen foods, such as a frozen Jalapeno,
the microwave will an create electrical charge in the food that
could spark.

This is really a fire in the microwave, so don’t try this at home.
