Pumpkin patch season arrives as harder season limits growth
SUMMARY: Pumpkin patches are popular family destinations in October, but this year’s pumpkin supply is limited due to challenging weather conditions. Gabe Mayner reports on Mound City Farm in Union County, which experienced difficulties with growing pumpkins amid drought and heavy rainfall. Small pumpkin farms typically profit around $30,000, but this year’s conditions have reduced yields. Growing pumpkins in Mississippi is complicated, requiring the right balance of rain and heat. Despite these challenges, Mound City emphasizes the joy and community spirit of the pumpkin patch experience, having imported some pumpkins to meet demand after local crops were affected.
Pumpkin patches are a staple for families in October, but this year’s supply may not be as plentiful as you expect.
SUMMARY: After a spell of below-freezing temperatures, plumbers like Kelvin Yan are facing a surge in demand due to burst and frozen pipes. As the snowstorm leads to widespread issues, Yan is busy identifying leaks, often in hard-to-reach places. Homeowners should inspect areas like toilets and kitchen pipes first, especially in raised foundations where cold air can cause freezing. Signs of trouble, such as water pooling around faucets, indicate a potential leak. Experts emphasize knowing the location of the main water valve for emergencies and advise shutting off water immediately if frozen or burst pipes are found.

1/23/25- The “freezer door” shuts after Saturday AM, then the warm up begins!
SUMMARY: This afternoon is warmer than yesterday, with temperatures ranging from the upper 30s to low 50s. Cold weather will persist overnight, dropping to the mid-20s by Friday morning. Light winds will prevent excessive wind chill, but frostbite risks remain. A warming trend is expected starting Sunday, with temperatures rising to the mid-50s and even reaching 60 by Tuesday. Rain is anticipated on Monday and possible again Wednesday, which is beneficial given the area’s drought conditions. Overall, while the weekend will be chilly, it marks the beginning of a more comfortable weather pattern moving into next week.

SUMMARY: A three-vehicle crash on I-20 Thursday morning involving a UPS 18-wheeler, a hazardous materials tanker, and a construction van caused a shutdown of the interstate. Traffic was at a standstill as crews worked to offload the tanker after it ruptured. The driver of the construction van suffered serious injuries, while the UPS driver was injured but declined medical attention. The tanker driver was unharmed. The incident occurred near a construction zone, with ongoing bridge work expected to cause traffic delays for about a year. Drivers were advised to find alternate routes to avoid further congestion.
