Freeze Invades South With Major Snow Across Region
Temperatures lingered in the 20s as a large polar high held sway over the nation. The Northeast faced heavy snowfall with Boston’s Logan Airport poised to reopen, New York City crews rushing to clear snow, and a fatal incident on Long Island where 14 year old Gary Hammond suffocated after falling into a snow pocket. Snow persisted in Maine and mountainous areas while Great Lakes and Appalachians received new totals. Marquette recorded eight inches in 24 hours despite 51 inches on the ground.

Winds up to 20 knots risk pushing slick toward LA beaches while crews spread straw and chemicals to contain the mess.

California gas tax cut faces uphill fight in assembly
A plan by Assemblyman Foran to cut the motor fuel tax from 7 to 5 cents while applying a 5 percent sales tax on gasoline would raise 224.4 million for highway funds and 140 million for local projects but faces strong opposition from Sen. Collier who says highway needs are dire and the move could aid rapid transit advocates. The measure would delay the gas tax cut for one year and result in a local money backstop for flood damaged roads and mass transit with distribution to cities and counties. The proposal seeks to consolidate highway funds to speed up collections, a plan criticized as a gimmick by critics while some see potential local benefits.
