According to the National Weather Service, 12 different areas in Ohio have recorded at least 12 inches of snow. About the same in Buffalo with about another foot expected. That could well be why it is so quiet here. I wish all of our BotL well.Looking outside, I would not be at all surprised if we were one of those areas, as we got hammered. Guess I'm getting my workout outside today with shovel.

We probably got about 3 inches in the NYC area before the temps went up and the rains washed it nearly all away.We got about 4" which is pretty significant around these parts. Mix in a layer of ice, and sheesh.
Sun is out and warming is underway. It will be gone in a couple of days.

He has a tractor with a plow, but still don't think he's going anywhere for a bit.We probably got about 3 inches in the NYC area before the temps went up and the rains washed it nearly all away.We got about 4" which is pretty significant around these parts.

Most of the teams that had no business being in the playoffs lost on the first round as expected. Expanding the playoffs doesn't improve games, just adds more revinue.Looking like that nice drive home is gonna be the best part of your day, Tony.I'll take it. Yes, it was a blowout but it was expected. They played a good first and fourth. Now I'm hoping the Bills can take it the whole way.
Same crap will happen if/when they expand the college football playoffs. There aren't 12 top caliber teams, so first couple rounds are going to be blowouts with the same four in the finals that would have been selected anyway.

There are 348 days left in the year. This is Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Jan. 17, 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered his farewell address in which he warned against “the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.”
On this date:
In 1917, Denmark ceded the Virgin Islands to the United States for $25 million.
In 1944, during World War II, Allied forces launched the first of four battles for Monte Cassino in Italy; the Allies were ultimately successful.
In 1950, the Great Brink’s Robbery took place as seven masked men held up a Brink’s garage in Boston, stealing $1.2 million in cash and $1.5 million in checks and money orders. (Although the entire gang was caught, only part of the loot was recovered.)
In 1955, the submarine USS Nautilus made its first nuclear-powered test run from its berth in Groton (GRAH’-tuhn), Connecticut.
In 1966, the Simon & Garfunkel album “Sounds of Silence” was released by Columbia Records.
In 1977, convicted murderer Gary Gilmore, 36, was shot by a firing squad at Utah State Prison in the first U.S. execution in a decade.
In 1994, the 6.7 magnitude Northridge earthquake struck Southern California, killing at least 60 people, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
In 1995, more than 6,000 people were killed when an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 devastated the city of Kobe (koh-bay), Japan.
In 1996, Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman and nine followers were handed long prison sentences for plotting to blow up New York-area landmarks.
In 1997, a court in Ireland granted the first divorce in the Roman Catholic country’s history.
In 2016, Iran released three Americans, former U.S. Marine Amir Hekmati, Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian and pastor Saeed Abedini, as part of a prisoner swap that also netted Tehran some $100 billion in sanctions relief.
In 2020, U.S. health officials announced that they would begin screening airline passengers from central China for the new coronavirus; people traveling from Wuhan, China, would have their temperature checked and be asked about symptoms. President Donald Trump added to his legal team for his impeachment trial retired law professor Alan Dershowitz and Ken Starr, the independent counsel who investigated President Bill Clinton.

Five years ago: President Barack Obama granted clemency to Chelsea Manning, allowing the transgender Army intelligence officer convicted of leaking more than 700,000 U.S. documents to go free nearly three decades early. Donald Trump’s choice to head the Interior Department, Rep. Ryan Zinke, rejected the president-elect’s claim that climate change was a hoax, telling his Senate confirmation hearing it was indisputable that environmental changes were affecting the world’s temperature and that human activity was a major reason.
One year ago: An Associated Press review found that veterans of President Donald Trump’s unsuccessful campaign had key roles in the Washington rally that spawned a deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol. U.S. defense officials said they were worried about an insider attack or other threat from service members involved in securing President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration; the concerns prompted the FBI to vet all 25,000 National Guard troops coming into Washington for the event. Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was arrested at a Moscow airport as he returned from Germany, where he had spent five months recovering from nerve agent poisoning that he blamed on the Kremlin.

Hiya Dave. I mostly agree. But it's nice that the possibility exists for a Cinderella story. It's happened in MLB.Most of the teams that had no business being in the playoffs lost on the first round as expected. Expanding the playoffs doesn't improve games, just adds more revinue.Looking like that nice drive home is gonna be the best part of your day, Tony.I'll take it.

I amazed myself. Truth is, I was always bad at this kind of thing. For example, if you would have asked me 20 years ago, not sure I could tell you the difference between Meryl Streep, Melanie Griffith, and Shirley MacLaine.Tony's on fire today. 14 myself.Today's Over/Under is 914!!!
