FROM WHO-TV: More snow on Monday, cold air settles in Iowa. Another round of snow is on the way, but on the lighter and fluffier side this time. A winter weather advisory goes into effect Monday, with snow falling from mid-morning into the early evening. This will likely again create some slippery travel.

Penny thoughts. Wall Street Journal’s Heather Haddon researched how businesses are coping with the phase out of the penny. Among her findings: Burger King franchisees are hoarding pennies and asking employees to help by buying penny rolls; Kroger is asking for correct change; Kwik Trip (Kwik Star in Iowa) is rounding down to the nearest nickel. Most want to avoid encouraging customers shifting to more use of cards for payment because that sticks the business with added fees.

1958: 95 die in Chicago school fire. A fire at a grade school in Chicago kills 87 children and three nuns on Dec. 1, 1958; five more children later died as a result of their injuries. The Our Lady of Angels School was operated by the Sisters of Charity in Chicago. In 1958, there were well over 1,200 students enrolled at the school, which occupied a large, old building. Unfortunately, little in the way of fire prevention was done before December 1958. The building did not have any sprinklers and no regular preparatory drills were conducted. When a small fire broke out in a pile of trash in the basement, it led to disaster. ... READ MORE
