A similar combination like tomorrows date will not return for some time and I don't know if anyone will be willing to hang around and celebrate it.

Saturday's Dec. 13, 2014, represents the last sequential calendar date for at least 20 years January 2, 2034 and another 89 years if waiting for January 2, 2103.

If you're set on commemorating 12/13/14, try to stay healthy for another 100 years somewhere on earth to be able to reach it December 13, 2114. For numbers fans, it's 1,000 years till 3014.

Forecasters are calling it Damon and some say it was more like a daemon, because the devil is in the detail.

It arrived by pushing a steady mix of wind and cold rain that flooded coastal and inland areas, while making it dangerous to travel.

The rain was heavy enough to flood parts of the Bronx River Parkway. NY State Police wants motorists to exercise due care when traveling the roadways: A wintery mix is expected to continue throughout the day making all roadways slick and unpredictable. Allow adjustments to your schedule to ensure safe travel or simply avoid unnecessary travel.
