What Are 2008's Biggest Weather Stories?
2008 is nearly over, and it was a topsy-turvy year for weather in
our state, with back-to-back hurricanes and a freak snowstorm
topping the year's biggest weather stories. Here's State
Climatologist Barry Keim. Keim says the December 11th snowstorm, that dumped up to 8 inches of
snow on Louisiana, and the severe drought that peaked in August are
the other top weather events for the year. Keim says Louisiana got
just over 54 inches of rain in 2008. Ten-percent of it came from
Hurricane Gustav and its after-effects.

Secretary of State Finishes Voter Purge
Secretary of State Jay Dardenne says he's just finished purging
another 45,000 non-active voters from state voter rolls.
Dardenne says state law requires a purge be done every two years. He
says this was a relatively small purge--compared to 83-thousand
purged in 2006, and nearly 109-thousand purged in 2004.
If you find that you've been purged, due to inactivity at the polls,
you can always re-register at your local registrar's office.
