Text 2 win a pair of Elton John tickets

NORTH CHARLESTON (WCSC) - Sir Elton John will grace the North Charleston Coliseum with his presence in March for the first time since 2007, and we are giving away 10 free tickets for the concert.

For a chance to win 2 tickets to the March 7 concert, text “elton” to the number “56376” and you’ll find out if you’re one of our 5 winners this Friday.

Tickets officially go on sale this Saturday, and the first camper has already been spotted at the ticket office.  Oren Chase says the live experience is about more than the music, "Besides the music it's all about the whole experience. making eye contact, nobody in front of you, nobody walking in front of you...it's just a big difference in being way back...and you have to do stuff like this once in a while if you want to get some premium seats."

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m.

Another mild winter day

LOWCOUNTRY (WCSC) - It's another mild day in the Lowcountry, says Live 5 Meteorologist Chad Watson:

As Wednesday morning rolls on the sun will help move the temperatures up after a pretty chilly start to the day. Jackets and heaters were on early but as plenty of sunshine returns today we are looking at highs back into the upper 60s to near 70°. A light southeast breeze will develop by afternoon around 6-12 mph so sit back, relax and enjoy a nice winter afternoon.

Santee Cooper board signs new renewable energy contract

Santee Cooper’s board of directors have approved a contract with Green Energy Solutions (GES) for up to 25 megawatts of electricity generated from renewable resources in South Carolina.

Alabama-based GES will in turn execute agreements with individual farms to make up the 25 MWs of electricity. The first site will be a 540-kilowatt station at Cypress Poultry Farm near Manning, expected to be online in January 2013, with similar anaerobic digester projects coming online at farms across the state over the next six years.

The fuel source will be biogas produced through anaerobic digestion of poultry, swine, cow and other organic agricultural waste.

Wet, foggy start to the work week

Wet, foggy start to the work week

LOWCOUNTRY (WCSC) - It's a wet start to the week this Monday morning, says Live 5 Meteorologist Chad Watson:

Clouds, fog, drizzle and cool temperatures will greet you as you head out the door across the Lowcountry this morning. Temps have been hovering in the mid to upper 40s as the morning news hours have ticked by. As you get up and head out to start your day grab the jacket, coffee cup and hit the heater on the car or truck. The kids will need a coat as well to keep the chill and the damp morning away. By late morning a surface boundary will lift north across the coast helping turn winds more southerly. That will help bring temps up into the upper 60s by afternoon. Some areas could see a bit of clearing. If you see some sunshine your backyard temps may hit the 70° mark. Clouds will linger into the evening and overnight so plan for that as you head out for dinner.
