myFOXWebTeam Blog

Hey weather bloggers, this is Patrick, one of the Web producers for myFOXstl.com. I like what I've been seeing on the blogs the past few days. The personal forecasts (stlweatherfanatic, snowbunnySTL, stlcardinalsfan721, and steve-oweather) have been fun to read. Exciting stuff. We thank every one of you for taking time to blog/comment about the weather and help make the myFOX community the best it can be.

I'm putting out a reminder about a few features on the site to help you through the storm:

LIVE DIGITAL DOPPLER XT2 RADAR FEED
We've just launched our live doppler radar feed. Not just screenshots of the radar, but the real deal. It will run LIVE 24/7/365 on myFOXstl.com. Again, the buffet is the home for that.

SEVERE WATCHES AND WARNINGS TICKER
See the latest from the National Weather Service, including winter storm watches and warnings. This ticker feed updates constantly.

SHARE YOUR STORY
Start your own blog and share your story with all of St. Louis. We created the blogs just for you, and you'll be surprised at how many people like to leave comments.

TAKE PICTURES!
Get out your camera! We wanna see snow everywhere in our photo gallery. Snowflakes, sled riding, snowfall measuring sticks, snow angels, snowmen, frozen tongues, your favorite ice scraper. If you snap it, we want it! Please send as many pics as you can.

REPORT SNOWFALL
On the Weather Buffet page, you'll find a button where you can report snowfall. This really helps out the weather team, especially when it's coming down quickly!

SCHOOL WATCH CLOSINGS
Here's a link to the school watch page. We update it every 2 minutes, 24 hours a day.

MORE TO COME
We'll be adding more wintry graphics and maps for you in the next couple of days, so keep checking back in the weather section of the Web site for the latest from your myFOX team.

Thanks everyone, now go get your bread, milk, and eggs and blog away!

Don't be shy about leaving comments. We read each and every one of them.
