2k's phone

Brrr, it was one of those mornings where you just didn't want to get out of your warm bed.

Many school districts delayed classes this morning. Keep in mind you can always keep up-to-date on the closings/delays with the WOKQ Storm Watch Information Center.

Many of our listeners posted photos of how cold it was at their home/car/work, etc. You can check them out on our Facebook page. Remember to like the Morning Waking Crew page and join in on the fun! You can also follow me on Twitter. I try to keep listeners updated on the latest country news, local news and traffic reports and of course, pictures of Brandy, the Morning Waking Pooch!
