Lonnie's Fun Fact for Thursday November 26, 2020. It's turkey day! Today some fun facts about the bird in the center of most tables thanks to The Old Farmers Almanac. Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national bird instead of the Bald Eagle. He considered the Eagle "a bird of poor moral character" and found around the world, while the turkey is uniquely native to America. A baby turkey is called a chick, poult or sometimes a turklette. Wild turkeys can fly, but they prefer to walk or run. Domestic turkeys can not fly, lending itself to possibly one of the best television episodes of all time, "The Great WKRP Turkey Drop" and the classic line "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly." So, how much turkey does the average person consume each year? About fifteen pounds, a lot of that today and throughout the next week in the form of leftovers. Happy Thanksgiving!

Lonnie's Fun Fact for Wednesday November 25, 2020. It was the storm of the century and it happened on this date in 1950. Gail force winds, record low and high temperatures and record amounts of snow blanked the East coast of the United States from North Carolina to New England. The storm, known as the Appalachian Storm, dumped 30" of snow in Pittsburg, more, measured in feet, in parts of West Virginia, making travel impossible. A record low temperature of minus 26 degrees was observed at Mount Mitchell in North Carolina, while in Buffalo New York there was no snow and a record high temperature of 50 degrees. At Bear Mountain, just north of New York City, a record wind gust of 140 miles per hour was observed and a 94 mile per hour gust was clocked in New York City. The extreme weather was deemed responsible for the loss of 160 lives over several days. Listen to the podcast here; theriver953.com/podcast/fun-fact-november-25-2020/ ... See MoreSee Less
