WTNH SCHOOL CLOSINGS

WTNH SCHOOL CLOSINGS, (WTNH) – When the bus drivers have until Monday morning at Oxford, the temperature was in double digits, double digits below zero.

All buses have begun, but they did not do very far from the court. Monday was a snow day at Oxford, without the entire shovel, but a lot of headaches. Once implemented school buses, diesel fuel began to freeze in the reservoir, which means the closing of elementary and middle schools of the day.

“Once in place gels, they do not start at all,” a bus driver said. While the cold of winter has frozen the day for students, there are people like John Famiglietti Eastwood Towing busier than ever.

“I do a lot of towing, many jump starts, especially with diesel trucks. Yep cold. Pretty, “said Famiglietti.

A Classic coach works in Southbury, they have a stack of car batteries and truck inside.

“Selling a lot of batteries, towing a lot of cars, put the batteries in their diesel trucks to the processing in the fuel. We must have done about 26 service calls so far today, and we still a list of more to get to. “Mongelli James Classic Works said the coach.

The maintenance crew spent the day working on buses replaces filters and a thinning of fuel, so it should be all systems go in the morning.

Wtnh, TV fans are still smarting at the news that yet another weather WTNH, this time veteran meteorologist Geoff Fox, was sent packing. (Weekend guy Matt Scott was released a few weeks ago.)

While Fox has given a few more weeks to finish his longtime concert WTNH, he did this post about his departure on his blog today …

“So how was your day at work? Probably better than mine. After 26 years at 8 Elm Street, I am not invited back to the end of my current contract. I had the word 4:00 p.m. Wednesday. I m done at the end of February.

For the rest of the post go to http://www.geofffox.com/MT/archives/2011/01/06/but-i-work-for-the-viewers.php.

You do not know what happens at the station in New Haven, but learned the television industry, like many, sometimes does not make sense outside. Good luck Geoff. Of course, there is a silver lining somewhere in all this.

Geoff is the end of the first case, and after being a spectator WTNH since I moved here; I think I’ll start watching one of their competitors.
The decision to release Geoff Fox is the latest in a series of mismanagement by the new WTNH. As a professional of 40 years, I no longer feel a connection with this station. Channel 8 feels the news is consistantly about 20 years old women wearing inappropriate clothing, tight fitting to disseminate news and traffic at the expense of veteran news anchors and weather. I will be switching stations of my news and weather.
