Does it ever snow in Memphis? How much snow can we expect to see each year? What was the citys record snowfall? Weve got these answers and more.

As a product of the Memphis City Schools, I have some fond and some not-so-fond memories of school lunches. I typically brought my lunch from home but when I bought it, I just never knew if I was going to love it or hate it. The truth is, I loved some of the things that others hated--the pizza, the mystery-meat burgers, the burritos. But then there were the other things--the creamed corn nuggets (yuck!), the soggy french fries, and the dry rolls.

With my own son now attending school, I have seen something of an improvement in the years since I was in school. While he also usually brings his lunch from home, every now and then he buys it. He eats far more salads than I remember eating in school and perhaps fewer battered and fried/oven fried foods, as well.

In spite of such improvements, the USDA has just announced even bigger changes to school lunches. Schools will now be required to offer more fruits and vegetables, switch to many whole wheat products, and reduce the fat and sodium content in many foods. These changes wont happen overnight, though. To help kids adapt to the healthier lunches, these changes will be phased in over the next three years.

If you thought you had heard the last of the West Memphis Three case, think again.
