Colder temperatures continue to drop as an arctic front will bring heavy snow, ice, dramatically colder temperatures, and gusty winds from the Middle Atlantic to the Northeast throughout the entire day.

Ice accumulations up to a quarter of an inch could cause power outages and create hazardous travel conditions. Later this weekend and early next week, a new arctic front will bring widespread snow from the Plains to the Great Lakes.

The Arctic air barreling toward the east coast brings a ridiculous a temperature range. From low 60s in the southeast to the lower teens in the northwest!

Politically Motivated Hacks

Could it be that Trump's self-inflicted wounds that are mangling his presidency are covers for sinister plots? Would create chaos with contradicting Tweets and outrageous statements are seen as smoke screens?

Example, the @POTUS announcement that he was not going to England because Obama moved the embassy to a place he didn't like, the real reason was preventing massive protests and he didn't get the facts right. Bush made that decision.Wake up, America.

How do we define and explain racism? Why are historians saying that in modern times, no US president has been this racially insensitive and has shown an outright disdain for people who are not white? How is it that our democratic ship is sailing away from equality for everyone, regardless of race, religion, color, creed, and sexual orientation? The intelligent people of the world must come together and stand up for our planet.

"Retiring" members of Congress are eligible for a pension starting at age 62 if they've served at least five years, at age 50 if they've served 20 years, or at any age, after they've served 25 years. The amount of the pension depends on salary and years in office.

This year of midterm elections will provide voters with special opportunities to get involved in government, not only in their local districts but also in US Congress. How do we reverse the voter burnout trend and get real Americans to vote in 2018?

We are taxpaying citizens, whose family served the military, who think our nation is already great, who tell the truth, salute the American flag and really know all the words to the national anthem. Voting does matter and half of us don't even bother to exercise our most precious right as American citizens.

Could it be that our flag hugging commander in chief sometimes forgets to salute the flag and does not really know the words to the national anthem? Could it be that he had a memory lapse or a senior moment? He claims to be a “very stable genius” or #VSG. What do you think? Read on and decide for yourself.
