Estimates for the coming storm range anywhere from 3-16 inches. Sounds like maybe they don't have a firm grasp on this one just yet.

Indeed, cause they don't have the infrastructure down there to handle stuff like that. I have a friend in GA who was stuck in his car on the highway for like 12 hours several years ago when they had a bad ice storm. Had no way to clear it.

Not much can be done with ice....They have done better with equipment for main roads and salt/brine application, but almost nothing on secondarys.  Plus, just like up north, when you have people out driving in it and get into wrecks, the roads can't be maintained.

Today is Thursday, Jan. 22, the 22nd day of 2026
with 343 to follow.

The moon is waxing. Morning stars are Jupiter, Mercury and Uranus. Evening stars are Jupiter, Mercury, Neptune, Saturn and Uranus.

On this date in history:


In 1771, Spain ceded the Falkland Islands to Britain.

In 1901, Queen Victoria of Britain died at age 82 after a reign of 64 years. She was succeeded by her son, Edward VII.

In 1914, attorneys for world heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson, a Black prizefighter, filed a brief for a new trial with the U.S. Court of Appeals, challenging Johnson's conviction under the Mann Act.

In 1924, senators investigating the Teapot Dome lease scandal declared they would use all the legal powers of the government to get to the truth.

In 1943, U.S. and Australian troops took New Guinea in the first land victory over the Japanese in World War II.

In 1944, U.S. troops invaded Italy, landing at Anzio beach in a move to outflank German defensive positions.

In 1973, in its historic Roe v. Wade decision, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down state bans and made abortion legal. The high court overturned the ruling June 24, 2022, in Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization.

In 1987, Glen Tremml, 27, pedaled the ultralight aircraft Eagle over Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., for a human-powered flight record of 37.2 miles.

In 1991, Iraq launched a Scud missile attack against Israel, injuring 98 people.

In 1998, Theodore Kaczynski, known as the "Unabomber," accused of sending bombs that killed and wounded people, pleaded guilty to all counts against him in California and New Jersey. He was sentenced to life in prison.

In 2003, the U.S. Senate approved the nomination of former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge to be the first secretary of Homeland Security by a 94-0 vote.

In 2008, Heath Ledger, star of Brokeback Mountain, A Knight's Tale and The Dark Knight, died of a drug overdose. He was 28.

In 2012, Joe Paterno, the former Penn State football coach who won a record 409 games in his storied six-decade career but was forced out amid a sex scandal involving an ex-assistant coach, died of lung cancer. He was 85.

In 2021, the Senate confirmed Lloyd Austin as secretary of defense, making him the first Black Pentagon chief.

In 2023, Australian Laura Enever caught a wave measuring 43.6 feet tall off the Hawaiian island of Oahu. It earned her the Guinness World Records title for largest wave surfed (paddle) by a woman.

10. A bunch of names I knew, but couldn't pick out their faces. For example, I never actually saw the Exorcist. Coinkydink of the day has to be that there are so many celebrity chefs on this list, of the Galloping, Frugal, and Flavortown varieties.

Yes, I enjoyed the Galloping and Frugal Gourmet long before cable and food channels.  Graham Kerr used to be fun after a couple of glasses of wine each show.  It got boring after he was born again and stopped drinking.

The Baltimore Ravens are hiring Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter as their head coach and signing him to a five-year contract, sources told Adam Schefter.
