Vet runs the Antarctic Marathon for the Special Ops. Warrior Foundation

Posted: 08:01 AM ET

"True Champions" are people using sport or sportsmanship to make the world a better place. Today we're spotlighting Nolan Peterson.

From icemarathon.com:
A pilot for U.S. Special Operations based out of Hurlburt Field, FL, USA. Nolan was deployed to Iraq in support of Special Operations missions for the three months prior to the race and almost all of his training has taken place in the extreme heat around Baghdad. The 28-year-old is a veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq and has over 250 hours of combat time. He is running the Antarctic Ice Marathon to raise money for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, which provides scholarships to the children of fallen special operations soldiers. Nolan was also a competitive swimmer and rower, and is now involved in triathlons. He has been on treks in six of the seven continents and after completing the Antarctic Ice Marathon he plans on continuing with his goal of running a marathon on all seven of the continents.

Who's getting a white Christmas?

Posted: 06:20 AM ET

Merry Christmas Eve, everybody (I’m not much for the whole P.C. movement).

If you are on the roads for a trip through the MW, be ready for some slick spots. That CA energy is now producing snow and some sleet in MN, IA, MO, IL, WI and IN. There are winter weather advisories for a big patch, so I’ll have that right off the bat for you. It’s heavy rain and storms in TX, OK and AR where the warmer air is sitting, and the whole schmear is headed East.

Who sees snow on Christmas Day? Looks to me like a chance for the OH Valley, and maybe some SE cities like Charlotte and Atlanta. Lots of things have to come together, but we shall see.

The rain is coming back in the West. It’s currently happening in the NW, but it will slide down the coast to the Bay Area by tomorrow afternoon, and brush through Southern CA overnight, and into NV/UT Sunday. Unlike the storms before, I think this storm speeds through and doesn’t drop nearly as much rain or snow. Keep your fingers crossed for the flooded out areas.

More wind for the NE today, and I think that translates into short delays for flights. I’ll update those on the show too.

It’s been a fun year for me working on our show, and I will see you guys again soon. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
