Even with close to a foot of snow in some of our Michigan counties, our first significant snow of the season is looking pretty mild compared to what’s coming over the next 24-to-48 hours in western New York. A major lake effect snow event is expected to bury the Buffalo area in 2-to-4 FEET of snow today and tomorrow, so much snow that Sunday’s Buffalo Bills home game against the Cleveland Browns has been moved to Detroit. A state of emergency is also in effect for eleven counties in upstate New York.

As Republicans take over the House of Representatives in Washington next year, long-time Speaker and Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi is stepping down from her leadership role.
