Winter storm marks Great Lakes to Appalachians
Cold air and a winter storm pelted the Great Lakes region and southern New Mexico with snow and freezing rain. Forecasts show snow turning to rain near the lower lakes as a north Atlantic gale warning remains in effect from Massachusetts to New Jersey. In the Southwest, heavy mountain snow reached 14 inches in southern New Mexico and two inches in Truth or Consequences. Meanwhile, coal miners near Charleston, West Virginia, prepared for a return to work after a near four week strike as production expected to normalize. In Boston, International Longshoremen's Association members opened a harbor strike affecting most cargo shipments except tankers. West Germany delayed the Helios satellite launch due to a Centaur booster issue, with a total mission cost around $240 million.

Fischer to Face Mecking Over Karpov Challenge
Tass reports Fischer may play Brazilian grandmaster Mecking instead of facing Anatoly Karpov. Mecking’s challenge is called ludicrous after a loss to Viktor Korchnoi. Karpov earned the right to face Fischer by beating Korchnoi in the challengers final. The match could be next year, but Fischer threatens not to play without FIDE rule changes.
