    Is it true that a high is pushing the low and all the snow is coming back?

    OT: Big winter storm next weekend (01/22-01/24)?

    I would simply add that, the more snow, the less chance of summer drought, as long as the snow falls in the right places.

    Who's watching the Metropolitans tonight?

    A lot of people forget that the Cubs got their revenge against the Mets in 1984. This is round 3 ... tied at 1-1.
