Prepare for a freeze, Baton Rouge

with Matthew Albright | Assistant metro editor

Hello. Here are some of the top stories in the Baton Rouge area today.


Prepare for a freeze

Forecasters warn that a potentially dangerous cold front is headed towards the Baton Rouge region, with freezing rain or even the dreaded "wintry mix" possible.

This story has the latest info on when to expect the ice. We'll have more later on how the weather could affect roads, the airport and other important parts of the city.


LSU helping put a camera on the moon

Taking pictures of stars and planets from the moon has a lot of benefits over doing it on Earth. First, there's little atmosphere to interfere. Second, a lunar day lasts roughly 14 Earth days. 

But, as you can imagine, gathering data from the moon isn't easy to do. 

This team of LSU professors and students is playing a big role in a mission to launch a specially-designed moon camera. This story explains how it works. 


Now that's a broth

I made a huge mistake reading this story before lunch, because now my mouth is watering.

Michael DiResto makes a heckuva ramen, and the secret is his bone broth, which takes 27 hours to make. 

Check out this story to see how he does it and get the recipe for yourself.


Thanks for reading, and have a great afternoon.
