According to Punxsutawney Phil, there are six more weeks of winter, but for much of the country this has been one of the mildest winters on record.  With several bouts of 50 and 60-degree days, people are delighted and Mother Nature is becoming confused. Being able to take afternoon walks in...more winter is a welcome surprise, but an early influx of pesky insects much less so.
Many insects hibernate during the cold winter months, but as this winter has been anything but typical, they may be emerging from their hiding places much earlier than we expect,² noted Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Several states have even reported tick sightings, which is especially worrisome as people head outdoors to enjoy the weather and are unprepared for tick encounters.
Insects survive harsh winter temperatures using several strategies, such as slowing down their metabolism and respiration. But with the warmer temperatures

JACKSONVILLE, Ark. (KTHV) -- Since it's Valentine's week, Liz Massey decided to find a love story. She didn't have to search far.

Becky Polson posted her story on our Today's THV Facebook page and it's one that will truly touch your heart.

You see, Becky and her husband...more Gerald (photo gallery) have been together since she was 16 years old.  They just celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary.  But Becky's afraid Gerald doesn't remember. They're dealing with a disease that's stealing his memories.

It's a love story that began more than 3 decades ago for Becky and Gerald Polson.

"We met in 1975, in northeast Oklahoma at a park, we had mutual friends and he was camping," recalls Becky.

She was 16 and he was 19. They've been together ever since.

"She gave me that eye, you know," Gerald says laughing.

But a trip down memory lane and looking at old photographs is actually bittersweet. You see, the couple just celebrated
