By Joseph M. Dougherty Deseret Morning News  Meteorologists know not to be surprised by the weather.  Even though their computer models had predicted snow down to 7,500 feet for early Saturday, many residents awoke to a dusting, or slightly more, along the Wasatch Front.

Mother nature is fickle. Just two weeks ago, freezing ice and snow blanketed the region. Last week, she teased us with mild weather. Dare we say it? Spring is just around the corner.

Gabe: Just a reminder that the last day to purchase tickets for the Child"s Play charity dinner and auction is Thursday. New items for the auction are coming in every day. I wanted to let you all know that we"ll have items in all different price ranges. I know last year we talked about items going for ten and twenty thousand dollars. Trust me when I tell you that you can come with significantly less than that and walk out with something cool. Even if you don"t want to bid on anything it"s a really fun event to watch. Either way, Thursday is the last day to get your tickets.

By Richard Mize, The Daily Oklahoman  Feb. 17--So, it's still the dead of winter, but what have you got planned for your managed habitat patch this year?   My Bermuda grass is in pitiful shape where shadows fall. It needs help. The side yards are like wilderness areas.

Sir, I hope that all city councillors saw the Country Calendar programme, Saturday January 27. The programme graphically showed the importance of wetlands. Such areas were prolific around our estuaries in 1961. The destruction of our wetlands around Tahunanui, Annesbrook and Stoke horrifies me.

Gabe: The Penny Arcade Battle Academy Will be meeting next Tuesday the 8th at the Comic Stop. We're an official Pokemon TCG league now. Those of you in the Academy who haven't done so already, should register with Go Pokemon.com. Once you have a POP ID you can post it in this thread and Joe will get you added to the roster. As always, new players are welcome. Just grab a starter deck and be at the Comic Stop around 6.PM. There will be plenty of people willing to walk you through the game if it's your first time. For our regulars, if you're looking for a place up north to get cards and boosters I highly recommend the Cardhaus in Lynnwood. He's got some singles in stock but he also has the best price on boosters I've been able to find. Also, Kiko and I picked up some great tips and a few interesting rules that we did not know about while at the tournament. We'll share our "key learnings" with you all on Tuesday. It should be a fun night, hope to see some new faces. -Gabe out

The rain is turning to snow on a blustery January morning, and all the men gathered in a parking lot here surely would prefer to be inside. But the weather couldn't matter less to the robotic sharpshooter they are here to watch as it splashes through puddles, the barrel of its machine gun pointing the way like Pinocchio's nose.

By GERRY CALLAHAN  There is, of course, no telling how the Ping-Pong balls will bounce come lottery day, but something unusual happened to the Boston Celtics last year. They got lucky.
