Business owners can learn how to protect and prepare their business in the event of a catastrophe at the Business Disaster Preparedness forum being sponsored by the Tennessee Small Business Development Center (TSBDC).

The Memphis office of the National Weather Service has released its totals for the snow that fell over the Mid-South Wednesday.

Here in Midtown at the WMC TV studios, we picked up about three and a half inches of snow. According the the reports gathered by the National Weather Service, the heaviest snow fell over much of northwestern Mississippi and eastern Arkansas south of I-40. 

It looks like the worst of winter may be over.

One thing to keep in mind is that our highest snowfalls on record occurred during the month of March. In the meantime, we'll keep tracking the weather and waiting for spring.
