Happy Thanksgiving! Good luck to those of you competing in the Turkey Trot 5K. Be sure to share your stories on Twitter with the #sgftrot hashtag.

A winter weather advisory is in effect for today, with wintry mix of freezing rain and sleet likely. The high will be below freezing, hitting only 29, and low temperatures will drop into the teens tonight.

Today’s picks:

• OzarksFirst (KOLR/KSFX): Local turkey feast options if you don’t cook. Don’t have a turkey? Several local spots are offering Thanksgiving meals.
  
• News-Leader: Neighborhood lives up to term by forging community bond. In the Legacy Trails neighborhood, families work together to help each other out.
• KY3: Springfield man denied public defender. With cutbacks, the state public defender’s office is refusing to take cases in some instances.
• KSMU: Snow geese passing through on way to south. Flocks of snow geese are heading through the Ozarks on their way to southern wintering areas.
