Forecasters are predicting tranquil weather for US, with some rain developing in the South

Following a period of active weather and bitter cold for much of the US this past weeks, relatively tranquil weather can be expected.

Two months of heavy winter snow covering the area and those brutal bouts of arctic air are now endangering the local wildlife.

These animals are under serious stress. Many are in danger of starving because their food sources are covered with snow, or ice and their sources for the water they need to survive are frozen.

GETTING OLD

If you are one of millions worldwide, who feel that time is catching up with you, then move faster. But is this is futile and age has overtaken you, left you in the dust and your years seem to be going too fast for comfort? Just sit back and enjoy the fact that you're not ancients, but just set in your old ways.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Dawn probe is going into orbit around Ceres, which is the largest object in the Solar System between Mars and Jupiter.

It has taken the satellite over 7 years to reach this destination, and it will spend the next 14 months mapping it. Ceres is the first of the dwarf planets to be visited by a spacecraft.

We're number one. Brrrr... 1 degree temperatures is now a new record low for the area, which was set this morning. It was 1 degree at 7A and the old record low was 9 degrees, set in 2007.

The record for Saturday is also 9 degrees and tonight's low is expected to be 10, so that record is also in jeopardy. Some schools are closed, others are opening on delayed schedule, citing icy roads and cold temperatures. Yonkers schools are closed today due to road conditions.
