From the weather forecast for Pocatello at NOAA:
Now, if it does rain on Thurdsay, and the high is only 27° F, I'm pretty sure it would actually come out as "Freezing Rain," not just "Rain." The forecast in words also said merely rain, so it's not a case of a mere typo in the picture coding.
Now I'm trying to think how it would work for it not to be freezing rain... The ground temperature would have to be above freezing, despite having no highs above freezing in the past week, or the rain would have to be saturated with something that would lower the freezing point below 27° F (probably further down than that, since that's the high). That just doesn't seem likely to me.

By here, I mean, in Pocatello. More specifically, at ISU:
POCATELLO - Idaho State University announced a student has contracted the school's first reported case of the H1N1 Virus, or Swine Flu.
A worker at the Student Health Center said it is a mild to moderate case. The results took about five days to return. Since then, the student has recovered.
The student does not live in university housing. LocalNews8
I can't remember what prompted it, but somehow the topic of being sick came up while I was going over some review material for a class, and one of my students commented that ISU now had a confirmed case of swine flu, so I went looking. Based on the information at
Effect Measure, I would consider it worthwhile to get the vaccine when it becomes available, largely because having asthma puts me at greater risk for complications should I contract swine flu. I'm going from memory, so my figures may be off, but about 1% of people who get swine flu have it infect something deep inside the lungs, and at that point there's about a 50% survival rate. If you
don't have it get deep inside the lungs, it seems to be no worse than regular seasonal flu.

Real Story:
REXBURG - Rexburg police are searching for whoever broke into Pizza Hut overnight Wednesday.
The criminals got in to the building through the roof where they pried the hinge off a door leading to the attic.
Once inside the attic, they worked their way into the restaurant where they stole a first aid kit but nothing else.
Explanations that come to mind: prank, scavenger hunt, or some sort of dare. Then again, they could just be absent-minded criminals who hurt themselves on the way in, grabbed the kit, then forgot about stealing the money...
