5 Things You Need To Know for Monday Nov. 27th, 2023
1. If you thought that was an unusual amount of snow in Wichita for November, you would be right. 7.8″ official one day snow total in Wichita – 2nd greatest one day total for Wichita. Previous record of 6.8 inches back in 1952 and most since 2006 (the year Joyland closed permanently)
2.
The world’s largest iceberg is drifting from the Antarctic Circle toward the Southern Ocean. Labeled A23a, the iceberg is roughly 1,500 square miles in size (five times the land area of New York City) and about 1,300 feet thick (taller than the Empire State Building). Don’t worry, it’s not a disaster movie in the making and its melting is expected to have little effect on sea levels.
3. Efforts to rescue 41 trapped Indian workers inside a collapsed tunnel in northern Uttarakhand state enter their third week today, as rescuers mount three separate digging approaches to the enclosed laborers. All of the 41 men are reportedly in good health and receiving regular hot meals, water, and medicine via a small pipe.
4. Today is Cyber Monday but many of you didn’t wait. On Black Friday U.S. consumers spent $9.8B in online shopping. That’s up 7.5% from the previous year.
5. and I’m not sure if this is incredibly petty or genius. Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf has been taking American Sign Language classes so he could talk trash without getting fined. However, there is still on bit of sign language we all see while driving on Kellogg that will get him fined every time…
AND THAT’S TRENDING.
