From all the reports we are seeing from the National Weather Service in Shreveport, while an appearance from The Weather Channel isn't likely, it's very possible it's going to get frigid around here this weekend.  In fact, they're pretty convinced we'll see snow or at least some freezing rain Saturday and it could stick around a few days.

While this weather isn't anything we haven't experienced before in Louisiana, there's something about a forecast like this that should remind those who work indoors, just how much we should appreciate our work environment.

It's at times like these I'm reminded of my gratitude for those who brave these elements to keep the rest of us safe, secure and warm.

Those thoughts in mind, it occurred to me just how good I've got it with this radio personality thing. We work in a warm and dry studio. There's always hot coffee and the occasional Southern Maid Donuts.

So, just who are the people we need to thank the most during weather situations like this? I've got a list!
