Gov Mother Hubbard was afraid someone would get cold toes. Ticketholders who have to work on Monday are getting the shaft.

They were offering $20hr for snow shovelers at the stadium...if they threw in free beer and hotdogs, likely everyone with a ticket would dive right in, and those NOT willing to could surrender their seats to those who would. LOTS of folks in that area would be happy to make that sort of money.

NFL and NYers, you wussed out, IMO. Check out some of the winter weather that the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers have played in before. For example, and for some of you not old enough to remember, there was the "The Ice Bowl" played in 1967 between the Packers and the Cowboys. Temperature at game time - 13 degrees below zero. And it was a sellout at Lambeau Field.

The politicians have gone nuts trying to avoid the tragedies of last winter's storm.A few miles north of Buffalo and we've had high winds, 28 The politicians are still embarrassed by the multiple deaths in the storm last winter. Doing their best to prove their compassion and avert more tragedies. Just north of Buffalo we have had very high winds and less than 2 inches of snow and 28º. Of course I'm from Minnesota so I don't usually complain about Buffalo weather. Ramona (the Pest)

Good. More time for keyboarders to trash Steelers and dismiss Mason Rudolph as a 3rd stringer. Teams at the beginning of the season are not the same teams now. Keep looking past Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, have any commenters driven from Buffalo to PA, in winter, with massive lake effect? It is an experience, if the road isn't closed. KC was/is brutal, but not the kind of sudden, 3 feet or so of lake effect that will cover Buffalo and 70+ miles around it.

And the Chiefs pretty convincingly pounded the Dolphins and it was -8F when the game ended, after starting at -4F. I can tell you, that's cold.

Regarding the broadcast only local affiliates would show the game on NBC, however, outside of that Peacock. I live in Palm Beach county and had to subscribe to Peacock. My son lives in Broward and watched the game on NBC along with Miami Dad county. This is so wrong! I'm from Buffalo so I get to see the game on CBS.

Having been to a few NFL games both in indoor and open stadiums, I can honestly say that indoor stadiums are better. Outdoor stadiums are fine up through October and if the weather is ok, but the price of an NFL ticket is far too expensive to sit outside in an open stadium when the weather gets cold. I'm not the one getting paid the equivalent of a yearly salary to play a game. So, sitting and freezing my butt off while a twenty mile an hour or more wind whips around me isn't the kind of afternoon I want to endure.

Those big electronic message boards along highways that convey a message with humor to drivers are under attack by Uncle Sam.

ARRIAGA, Mexico - A new migrant caravan of approximately 2,000 people formed in southern Mexico on Monday, largely made up of people that have been on the move since Christmas Eve who say the Mexican government's promises of transit visas last week never materialized. The migrants, including some carrying young children, are walking to the southern Oaxaca town of Tapanatepec, about 800 kilometers (480 miles) south of Mexico City by road. They hope to reach Tapanatepec by nightfall. The group of mostly Central American and Caribbean migrants are ultimately headed for the U.S. border, the caravan's leader Luis Villagran said. Last

CHICAGO – Multiple factors likely contribute to why only a small fraction of asylum seekers in Chicago have received permits to work legally. CBS 2's Sabrina Franza reported how only about 1% of the 26,000 migrants in the city have received their documents with assistance from the city and she dug into why the number is so low. The number really boils down to three things: the cost of the application, the availability of documents, and the significant demand. (Snip) The cost to fill out the application is over $400. There is a form to waive that cost. Conway's office has

In a display of heightening tensions, Iran dispatched a warship to the Red Sea, one day after the U.S. Navy destroyed and sank three Houthi small boats. Iranian state media reported that the Alborz destroyer moved through the Bab El-Mandeb strait, between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, on Monday. The strait is a strategic maritime and commerce shipping route. The arrival of the Iran destroyer in the Red Sea comes a day after U.S. Navy helicopters sank three boats carrying Houthi militants, according to U.S. military officials who said U.S. warships were responding to a distress call

CHICAGO – As the suburbs continue to take a stand on arriving migrants, Chicago is running out of funds to help them, and space to house them. As CBS 2's Marybel Gonzalez reported, migrants are still choosing Chicago as their landing spot in the U.S. Even as temperatures drop in Chicago, the city continues to be a hot spot for new arrivals. CBS 2 spoke with a person running some of the shelters along the southern border about why this could be. "What we're seeing is that it is fluctuating greatly from day to day," said John Martin.

While Republican primary voters think Donald Trump is their best shot in November, it's Nikki Haley who right now holds a bigger lead over Joe Biden than either Trump or Ron DeSantis in potential head-to-head match-ups. In fact, as the GOP presidential nomination kicks off, Trump, Haley and DeSantis all have at least a slight national edge on President Biden right now, were they to emerge as his challenger. (Haley and DeSantis have tougher roads to get that chance, of course, since they trail Trump substantially in the race for the nomination.) What's behind Haley's lead? Here's why Haley has such a lead over Biden:

White House staff had to be 'relocated' after thousands of pro Palestine supporters descended on the building, threatening to breach the security fence and lobbing over bloodied dolls as part of a huge demonstration demanding a ceasefire on Gaza. Law enforcement defending the People's House donned riot gear as a baying mob pelted them with dolls and other projectiles. Video taken at the event on Saturday shows how the metal perimeter was shaken so hard that portions of it were shunted back, forcing secret service operatives to rush to one part to prevent a breach.

You know what would make Americans feel a whole lot better about President Biden’s penchant for forgetting where he is or what he is saying? Fewer ties. Without those constrictive nuisances — and with a few more “subtle shifts” — voters will surely see that the octogenarian isn’t too old to run a nation when the world is on fire. As a “buttoned-up president who often appears behind a lectern in a suit and tie,” Biden is now “heeding pleas from top advisers to return to his original form, according to multiple people familiar with the conversations,” NBC News reported on Friday.

Concerns are intensifying among far-left national security “experts” and Pentagon insiders over the possibility that former President Donald Trump might leverage the U.S. military to enforce his political will if he returns to the Oval Office.

The Gateway project to build two new badly needed tunnels for trains under the Hudson River is already running two years behind schedule — even though it just broke ground, a federal audit shows. Officials at the Gateway Development Commission have publicly stated that by 2038 they will have finished digging and constructing the new tunnels and then rehabilitate the two existing trans-Hudson tubes, which were badly damaged by Superstorm Sandy. However, the audit performed for the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Transit Administration shows the work will likely take until 2040.
