Huh?
Two to four inches of snow expected by morning!? Whaaa? Why start now?
Disturbing evening headlines:
1) Justice to review request for medicare vote probe: Did someone attempt to bribe retiring Rep. Nick Smith of Michigan to get him to vote for the medicare bill?
2) Missing prosecutor found shot, stabbed:
Luna was trying the case of Baltimore rapper Deon Lionnel Smith, 32, and his one-time associate Walter Oriley Poindexter, 28. The two men were accused of heroin distribution and running a violent drug ring in part from their Stash House Records studio.
Luna and the defense attorneys negotiated through the afternoon Wednesday and reached a plea deal about 5 p.m., Quarles said. The men entered their guilty pleas about 11:30 a.m. Thursday, and they remained in custody.
Smith agreed to plead guilty to one count of distribution of heroin and to possession of a weapon for the purposes of drug trafficking. Poindexter agreed to plead guilty to three counts of distribution of heroin to a government witness.
The parties were expected to appear Thursday morning to enter the agreement, but Luna was not present, the judge said.
Crazy. Who knew being a prosecutor could be so dangerous?

It reminds me of the Assistant DA that was gunned down in Boston several years ago. He happened to be a gang prosecutor. And they wonder why law students don't want to go into this kind of work!
Also, onto the snow.. suck up and deal! I was in Albany last year and we had over 100 inches of the white stuff.
We had a teeny bit of white flakes here this morning, but it was rather lame. Made me wish I was back east.
