Anyway, let's get into today's only big news: weather. A massive nor'easter is moving into the northeast, with the New England region expected to receive up to 18 inches in some areas. Over 20 million people are under winter weather alerts, and over 70,000 people are already out of power in New York and New Hampshire, over 45,000 are out in Maine and Massachusetts, and over 25,000 are out in Vermont. However, the worst of all is in California. Yet another huge atmospheric river event has hit the state (its eleventh one this season), after receiving multiple feet of rain and snow in the past few weeks. Most California towns are already inundated, since the ground is so saturated, and over 335,000 people are without power.

On the other side of the world, over 100 people are dead after Cyclone Freddy made its second landfall in Mozambique yesterday. It is now moving into Malawi, and Freddy is battering the countries with strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surge after becoming the longest-lasting tropical cyclone on record.
