Launching the breaking news blog...

Re-launching the breaking news blog on a so-called snowy day. Almost all of the local schools are closed today -- probably tomorrow, too -- but so far, the weather hasn't been much more than wet.

I hope to keep this updated regularly with photos and news items as they develop.

This week, we also re-introduced the Local podcast with which we'll discuss the contents of each week's paper. The goal is to make it a compelling discussion of stuff in the news to augment the stories of the week.

Check back here regularly for tidbits of news, photos and maybe some video in the future.
