The major winter storm and cold outbreak in the central & eastern U.S. this weekend will be most notable not for record cold, nor heavy snowfall, but instead for very heavy ice accumulations that will cause widespread/severe electrical infrastructure and travel disruptions.

Honor has no price tag. It is bought only through actions, through conducting yourself with integrity, with kindness towards others, with ferocity towards those who promote hatred and bigotry. Nor can anybody, no matter how wealthy, buy it or take it from you. Honor is priceless.
