Searches for leprechaun porn increase 8,000 percent on St. Patrick’s Day
It’s St. Patrick’s Day, which means green beer, drunken brawls, and, of course, the traditional viewing of leprechaun porn.
Pornhub predicts that searches for leprechaun porn will increase some 8,000 percent, based on last years numbers. In fact, there’s a whole slew of St. Patty’s-related search terms that promise to skyrocket over the holiday.
Graph via Pornhub
It may not be surprising that misspellings also increase on this occasion as more and more horny people attempt to drunkenly type with one hand.

Pornhub, if you didnt know, provides a page called “Pornhub Insights” that offers a dizzying array of statistical information about people who… enjoytheir site. They even posted a survey asking who people would be voting for in the next presidential election. It turns that if porn viewers had their way, Bernie Sanders would be the next commander-in-chief, barely edging out the second most popular choice, “nobody.”
Screengrab via Pornhub
It’s important to remember that while 8,000 percent sounds like a huge increase, there probably aren’t millions of people pleasuring themselves to leprechaun lovemaking today. If, for instance, there are only five people searching for leprechaun videos on an average day, an 8,000 percent spike would only bump that number up to 400. Pretty puny when compared to terms like “lesbian” and “teen,” Pornhub’s top two searches from last year.
Those hoping to throw a leprechaun porn viewing party (meaning humans watching leprechaun-themed porn, not a bunch of leprechauns getting together to watch porn, which admittedly sounds amazing) are going to be a little disappointed. Pornhub only offers 9 videos in that category, 7 of which are just clips from the Leprechaun film series, not even including the first one, with Jennifer Aniston.
If you really need some St. Patty’s Day action, your best bet might just be to go out to the pubs with a “Kiss Me I’m Irish” shirt, have a few pints of Guinness, and hope for the best. You never knowyou might just get lucky.

So, Do You Actually Have To Worry About Drinking From Your Copper Moscow Mule Mug?
A fancy cup always manages to elevate a drinking experience and make it a billion times more enjoyable. That’s basically been scientifically proven at this point, right? Well, maybe not quite. People are starting to question whether copper mugs are safe to drink from, as some speculate the metal may be too poisonous for humans to ingest in any capacity.
Copper mugs are often used when you order a Moscow mule at the bar, which is an alcoholic beverage made with lime juice, vodka, and ginger beer. Though the copper mugs certainly add afun sort of novelty to ordering this drink, a recent warning from the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division prohibits copper from coming into direct contact with foods or drinks that have a pH level below 6.0 and Moscow mules do, kind of.
According to the warning, a Moscow mulecan purportedly corrode the copper interior, causing itto be leached into the food, and when someone ingests the mixture of the metal with the beverage, it may cause some nastysymptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach cramps.
Of course, this is assuming that the drink’s overall pH level is too acidic. According to the Huffington Post, lime juice has a pH level of roughly 2.0 to 2.4, vodka’s pH level is usually between 6.0 and 7.0, and the pH level of ginger beer is usually below six. Then, when testing the pH level of the cocktail when all of the ingredients were put together, the Huffington Post reported the number was below six meaning it is, indeed, corrosive when it comes into contact with copper.
However, a chemist has come forward to say we all may be freaking out a little too much over our precious copper mugs and Moscow mules.
It’s not a Moscow Mule if it doesn’t come in a copper mug. Get outta here with that poisoning BS
Ryan (@Ryan_Biegel) August 10, 2017
If the copper from a Moscow mule mug is my cause of deathfuck it, so be it.
Sem (@sam_brewerr) August 10, 2017
Trisha Andrew, an assistant professor of chemistry and chemical engineering at UMass Amherst, told the Huffington Post that the concerns amount to nothing more than fear-mongering.
Andrew explained that when any kind of liquid comes in contact with a surface, there is alwaysthe possibility that the container may dissolve slightly into the beverage. Glass, she noted as an example, dissolves so slowly, it wouldn’t ever occur in a human lifetime.
And yes, while that dissolution process happen a little faster with copper, Andrew insisted it’s not that fast. In fact, she called the idea of being afraid to drinkfrom a copper mugnonsensical.
In response to the Moscow mule’s too-acidic pH levels, she explained,
You have to let the copper mug sit in straight lime juice for a few hours before you can even start to begin to worry about [copper poisoning].
While research has shown that 30 mg of copper can cause nausea in those who ingest it, it apparently takes quite a lot of Moscow mules and those mules need to have been sitting around untouched for to reach that 30-mg limit.
Plus, it’s worth noting that we actually need a small amount of copper for our bodily functions, as it helps make red blood cells and keeps your nerves healthy.
So, in the end, drinking out of a copper mug is totally your call. It’s not going to kill you, but I understand if a different fancy mug would put your mind at ease.

Geraldo vouches for US general accused of plotting failed Turkish coup | Fox News
The retired U.S. Army general and former NATO commander accused of masterminding the recent failed coup in Turkey has an alibi — he was having a beer with Fox News Channel’s Geraldo Rivera.
Yeni Safak, a Turkish tabloid known as friendly to the increasingly authoritarian regime in Ankara, hit newsstands Monday with a front-page blaring in Turkish This man led the coup, alongside a picture of U.S. Army Gen. J.F. Campbell.
It was news to Campbell, who retired in May after a distinguished, 37-year career that saw him most recently serve in both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Campbell served as commander of the NATO International Security Assistance Force from August 2014 to earlier this year.

Expand / Contract
Blaming Gen. Campbell for the failed coup takes Turkey’s anti-American rhetoric to a dangerous new level, say experts.
“I haven’t traveled outside the U.S. since I came back from Afghanistan in March,” Campbell told FoxNews.com. “I have no idea why they picked me for this headline.
“In fact, on the day of the coup I think I was in New York City  with Geraldo having a beer,” he added.
The newsman corroborated the general’s claim.
@ahmetsyayla After Monday morning, there is a CONSIDERABLE risk against the Americans, US Embassy and consulates in Turkey. I advise caution
— Ahmet S Yayla (@ahmetsyayla) July 25, 2016
“I absolutely vouch for General Campbell,” Rivera said. “The only thing we were overthrowing were a series of Stella Artois [beers].”
As bizarre as the claim may be, some experts said the accusation ratchets up tensions with the U.S. in a way that could put Americans at risk. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has used the coup to justify a massive crackdown on opposition, is playing a dangerous game by pointing the finger at the U.S.
This is absolutely nuts, said Fox News contributor and former Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters. Erdogan’s cynical, though, and often plays the nationalist card. There’s no easier target than the Americans.

Rivera says he was bending elbows with the general when the failed coup went down.
The State Department referred requests for comment to Campbell, who said no one from the U.S. government has contacted him about the matter.
This anti-American rhetoric reminds [me of] the ’79 Iranian revolution and what happened afterward. It is a very dangerous approach, Ahmet Yayla, former chief of counter-terrorism for the Turkish National Police and a member of the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism, tweeted Monday.
Yayla said the irresponsible charge is part of Turkeys self-isolation from the West in the wake of the coup attempt.
Erdogan has declared a three-month state of emergency after the failed coup and detained as many as 50,000 academics, judges, soldiers and civil servants. He has seized control of thousands of public and private institutions, rooting out all of those he suspects of sympathizing with his arch-enemy, U.S.-based cleric Fethullah Gulen.
The U.S. response to the crackdown has been muted, and Secretary of State John Kerry is considering Turkeys demand that Gulen, who lives in a compound in the Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania, be turned over. NATO and European leaders have expressed alarm at the breadth and rapidity of the crackdown, which critics fear is  an effort by Erdogan, to cement his hold on power and move the constitutionally secular nation toward an Islamist government.
Still, rumors and accusations of U.S. involvement in the coup attempt have been circulating for more than a week. Several of the fighter planes involved in bombing government facilities took off from the jointly operated Incirlik Air Base in southern Turkey, from which the U.S. conducts air strikes against the Islamic State.
President Obama told Erdogan in a telephone conversation last week that reports the U.S. was involved in the coup were unequivocally false. Obama also said he hoped there is not an overreaction that could, in some fashion, lead to curtailment of civil liberties, according to a spokesman.
Gulen, once a political ally of Erdogan, has a large following embedded throughout Turkish society and Erdogan believes he played a leading role in the coup. Gulen runs a global network of Islamist schools and charities. The United States says it will only extradite Gulen to Turkey if it receives strong evidence that he was involved in the coup.
Campbell said he has never met Gulen.

So of you want to surprise your guests at your next party or get together with a fun game with a new twist you’ll want to break out Jenga. The classic game of Jenga requires a sharp eye and steady hand, cautiously removing blocks and preventing the stacked blocks from coming crashing down. To spice things up, each game piece will contain a truth or dare challenge to make things more interesting.
Adding a spin to this game is fast and best of all free. And it doesn’t alter the classic game in any way if you choose to play it that way. It’s a win-win. All you have to do is find your old write a truth or dare question on each piece of your Jenga set. Then assemble the tower, pour some drinks and you’re ready to have a smashing good time with friends and family.
How to play truth or dare Jenga:
Each person takes a turn to select a block. Once they choose their block, they must read their truth or dare challenge out loud. Then the person must perform the challenge before stacking it on top of the tower. If however they choose not to perform the challenge… then it’s time for them to drink up!
The game ends once someone knocks over the tower! You can get as creative and daring as you want, the more daring the more fun (drunk)! J-j-j-jenga!

These 5 Things Will Make Sure Your Stress-Free Vacay Starts At The Airport
I’m a travel blogger, so flying is part of my job. Unfortunately, I also have travel anxiety. My anxiety began less than two years ago after I fainted on a flight from Rome to New York.
Since then, I get at least a pinch of anxiety before every trip, and occasionally a full-fledged attack (throwback to the timeI went to North Korea).
Until recently, I had no idea how common travel anxiety actually is. Although I don’t have a magic potion to melt it all away forever, there are a few things I do to help ease it down a bit.
Here are five helpful tips to make sure your travel anxiety doesn’t get the best of you:
1. Hydrate.
If you’re one of those people who consumes a ton of water, go ahead and skip down to the next step. For the rest of you: Drink water.
Truth: Most days I drink between 0 to4 ounces of water (why drink water when you could have a beer, I say!) But when I travel, I drink a whopping 8 to 16 ounces (don’t judge, it’s the best I can do) and keep my coffee intake to below three cups.
I consciously down water the day of travel to prepare my body and to get it as healthy, strong and well-functioning as possible. I’ve made this a habit because I know I may experience stress when I get to the airport or board the plane, and I want to be able to handle that stress, acknowledge it and dance with it without shutting down.
2. Get to the airport early.
I know this seems counterintuitive to a lot of people. Airports are stuffy, loud and hectic. Why would anyone spend more time there than absolutely necessary?
Well, when you get to the airport early, you have ample time to go through security. Security in the US is SUCH a downer, and many times you turn the corner just to findthe line is a 30-60 minute wait.
When you give yourself plenty of time, you won’t have a conniption at the sight ofthat monstrosity.You won’t be concerned with missing your flight, and you won’t have as much anxiety as the unprepared buddybehind you. While he panics about forgetting his passport, you can pull out your phone, take a selfie and call your mom. Look at how productive you are!
Once through security, you have time to get a bottle of water. People who get to the airport last minute and get held up in the security line have to sprint to their gate, barely making it before the staff closes the door. And then, those people have to wait an hour for beverage service. Sucks to be them. Don’t be that person.
When you get to the airport early, you have time to find healthy-ish food and a corner away from the busy gates with an open outlet. Once you have food, wateranda tranquil space, you can work productively for an hour or two. And you were as cool as a cucumber the whole damn time.
3. Meditate.
I have had a consistent meditation practice for a few years now. I find that meditating grounds me, puts me at ease andmakes me feel good in general.
If you, too, have already built a practice, I highly recommend meditating before boarding. If you don’t have a meditation practice just yet, I don’t recommend having your first go at the airport. Some people find that meditation (especially at the beginning) makes them feel more anxious, so just be aware of that.
Slow breathing when I’m already off-balance actually makes me more of a wreck. I prefer to do Kundalini Breath Of Fire, where you focus on pulling in your navel, while sharply exhaling through your nose (the inhale happens automatically).
Do you look (and sound) nuts? Totally. But it’s the cheapest high in New York City, and a great option for the broke and anxious flyer.
4. Prepare entertainment.
I don’t read on planes because I get motion sickness. And I don’t often get down with in-flight entertainment because I will never get those two hours I spent watching “The Time Traveler’s Wife” back.
Podcasts are my go-to. Some of my favorites are “The Moth,” “This American Life,” “Savage Lovecast,” “2 Dope Queens,” “The Champs,” “Criminal”and “Strangers.”
Sometimes I just close my eyes and listen to these podcasts, and other times I simultaneously work on an adult coloring book. There’s a reason these coloring books are all the rage right now. They focus your mind on something other than your problems, they allow you to express your creativity and they take up a lot of time.
However, ifI’m not feeling great, whether it be due to anxiety, nausea or exhaustion, I listen to a playlist I put together to calm me down. Most of the music is a combination of lafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm and A Winged Victory For The Sullen.
5. Bring doctor-prescribed anxiety medication.
Anxiety is an overwhelming medical condition, and sometimes we need to seek out help from a medical professional. Is doctor-prescribed medication for everyone? Absolutely not. But it is an option that helps a lot of people.
For me, medication is used as a last resort. Even when I’m hydrated, have meditated and have listened to my relaxing music, I need to take an anti-anxiety medication that was prescribed to me by my doctor. When I have had anxiety attacks on flights, I landed atmy destination with the mentality that I was a victim.
I didn’t see all the beauty of the country; I didn’t engage my senses. I saw what could hurt me or make me uncomfortable. I was emotionally off-balance, and it would take a day or two to recover back to my bubbly, optimistic self.
I never want to be the victim. So, if my body needs it, I do what I need to do to allow myself a peaceful rest during my flight and to land atmy destination with an open mind and full heart.
I understand how anxiety can prevent someone from traveling as much as they would like to, but I hope some of these tips can be utilized to make traveling a bit more bearable.

29 Terrible Tourist Faux Pas People Make in Major Cities Around the Globe
We’ve all traveled somewhere, even if it’s just a different city in the U.S., and made an embarrassing tourist mistake.
Mispronouncing city names, using lingo we’ve heard in movies that actually make no sense, asking silly questions.
But we’ve also seen tourists come to our cities and stick out like a sore thumb.
Whether you are the local or you are the traveler, we all know some serious tourist faux pas that ’cause you to stick out like a sore thumb.
Trust us, you are going to want to read these to save yourself some serious embarrassment.

Lunch Time in Madrid, Spain

A post shared by Hannah Castellanos 😘💋 (@itshannahbri) on Apr 23, 2018 at 12:02pm PDT
Madrid redefines “late lunch”. The normal lunch time in Spain is usually around 2 or 3 pm.
It’s best to follow the crowds and enjoy lunch when everyone else does, even if it feels a little later than usual.

No Haggling in Tehran, Iran
A post shared by Bahram Habibi (@bbiibbzz) on Apr 23, 2018 at 11:43am PDT
Supermarkets in Tehran are so used to people bargaining prices that they have raised the overall cost to stop the haggling.
Grab your goodies and get going. No use in haggling, you’ll probably end up paying more.
Advertisement
No Camouflage in Cairo, Egypt
I think camouflage should be banned everywhere. But locals in Cairo see camouflage as you not blending in, but basically a big red flag that you are a tourist.
Don’t wear it while traveling, it will make you stand out more than blend in.

Helmets Are A No-No in Amsterdam, Netherlands
A post shared by Seb Malom (@seb_malom) on Apr 23, 2018 at 12:31pm PDT
I am all for safety but apparently, safety shows weakness in Amsterdam and it means you aren’t a local. Tourists stick out if they wear helmets while traveling around the beautiful city that is known for being bicycle friendly.

Being Super White in Rome, Italy
A post shared by THE CHARLES DIARIES ©️ (@charlesdiariesoff) on Apr 23, 2018 at 11:37am PDT
I mean there’s really no way to change this but, if you have white skin and fair hair, Italians will know you are a tourist. One local said, “We often understand they’re tourists by their pale glow.”
Advertisement
Being Super Tan in Seattle, Washington
Quite the opposite of Rome, if you show up in Seattle with a sweet tan, people will know you do not come from the rainy city.
You might get a lot of compliments about your radiant skin but you will also get the question, “You aren’t from around here, are you?”
Advertisement
Saying “Flip-Flops” In Melbourne, Australia
Flip-flops are not a thing in the land down under. The proper term is “thongs” which makes me cringe a little. But I don’t want to embarrass myself in front of the Aussies so I guess I will be saying thongs.

Watching Street Performers in Boston, Massachusetts
If you’re a local in Boston, you have zero time to watch that magician on the street. Tourists usually aren’t in a rush so they can toss a few coins at the breakdancing Spider-Man. Everybody else is trying to cram onto the subway and get to where they are going.

Being Nice in Johannesburg, South Africa
It’s not that locals aren’t nice, they just aren’t chatty nice, if you know what I mean. One local said, “Not only do we not have the patience for it, but we’re also wary of the safety risk of stopping to talk to some random person on the street.”
Basically, keep the chitchat to a minimum.

Feeding the Squirrels in Alberta, Canada
Canadians respect their wildlife and know that feeding them is more harmful than helpful. If they see you handing out nuts to the squirrels or popcorns to the birds, you’ll officially label yourself as a tourist.

Going to Times Square in New York, New York
Locals, apparently, wouldn’t be caught dead hanging out in one of the busiest parts of the city, I wonder why?
Tourists, meanwhile, will spend a good chunk of their time snapping photos in the iconic Times Square.

Ordering a Full English Breakfast in London
A full English breakfast is also known as a fry-up and if you are caught with one, just know everyone can tell you aren’t from here. It’s a dead give away.
Order some tea and a bagel or something. Keep it classy.

Wearing a Suit as Business Attire in San Francisco
Apparently suits are so not a thing in San Francisco. If you wear one to an interview people will know you’re an outsider. Most men wear business casual clothes.

Wow, am I glad I know this one now. I feel like this would be really embarrassing. Apparently it’s pronounced like “Edinburra”, according to the locals.
I’ll have to practice this one a couple times before I take my dream vacation to Scotland.

Summers in Chicago are amazing, attracting visitors from all over. But if you find yourself at the Navy Pier in the sunny season, you’ll be among many other tourists and all the locals might roll their eyes because they came to see it in the fall before it was crowded.

Whistling Indoors in Moscow, Russia
Whistling indoors is just a no-no. Russians believe whistling is like blowing your money away, so you will definitely get some strange looks because you’re that tourist who is blowing all their cash in a foreign country.

Using an Umbrella in Portland, Oregon
All locals just accept the rain. Maybe they’ll have a raincoat, but it’s mostly their persistence and bravery that keeps them dry.
They don’t wait for the rain to let up, they just keep their heads down and get from place to place, with wet shoulders and sneakers.

Just don’t do it. It sounds wrong, it makes the locals cringe and there’s just no reason to.

Leaving a Large Tip in London
Everything might be better in London. Restaurant staff earn a reasonable wage, so large tips aren’t normal or expected. Servers don’t rely on tips as much as they do in the United States.
A large tip will probably make for a happy server, but they will know you aren’t from around here.

Spilling Beer in Dublin, Ireland
No matter how many beers you have or how drunk you are, you never waste a drop of that liquid gold in Dublin.
If you walk around the bar and spill your drink, you will look like a fool. Handle your liquor folks, or the Irish will know you’re a tourist.

Obeying Traffic Laws in Mexico City, Mexico
Respecting road signs and stoplights in Mexico City may seem like the appropriate thing to do, but it may make you stand out or get you ran over.
One local said “you see confused tourists being pushed by the locals because we just can’t wait to cross even if the stoplight turned green 2 seconds after.”

Avoiding Using Place Names in the Hawaiian Islands

“The surest way to identify a visitor to the islands (our polite word for ‘tourist’) is their mispronunciation (or avoidance) of place names,” says one local.
With names like: Pāʻia, Honoapiʻilani Highway, Māʻalaea and Kāʻanapali, it’s easy to see why visitors avoid any attempt at pronunciation. It is fun to try though.

Wearing Nice Shoes in Canada
With frigid weather and slippery sidewalks, if you’re wearing anything other than snow boots, you aren’t from around these woods.
Nice shoes get ruined and won’t keep your feet warm, Canadians know that. Strap up your boots and throw on your Canadian Goose parka to stay warm and blend in.

Bringing Up Fargo in Minneapolis, Minnesota
They get it; this is where Fargo was filmed. It was a long time ago. It’s okay to let it go.
Also, calling the city the Minneapolis-St. Paul area is a faux pas. Just call it what it is: the Twin Cities.

Pretending To Be Rocky in Philadelphia
The entrance to the Philadelphia Museum of Art has 72 steps and if you are caught running up them with your fists in the air, you have labeled yourself as a tourist.
It is so tempting to channel your inner Sylvester Stallone and climb these steps with valor and speed, but no local in their right mind will waste their energy.

Photographing Deer in Colorado
They are everywhere, people. Deer are like the pigeons of New York City; plentiful and always in your way. If you see someone sticking their head out of the car to snap a pic, they are definitely a tourist.

Ready to Travel?
If this didn’t give you the travel bug in a weird way, I don’t know what will. Now you have the knowledge to show up and act like a true local, wherever you go!
Share this with your fellow travel lovers and pass on the wisdom.

Millions prepare for potentially ‘paralyzing’ east coast winter storm
Washington DC is at the center of the blizzards aim, where forecasters have warned residents to brace for more than 30in snow and wind gusts up to 50mph
Tumblr media
Millions of people across a dozen states are bracing for a weekend of travel disruption, possible power outages and white-out conditions as a potentially paralyzing winter storm begins to bear down on the eastern US on Friday.
Washington DC is at the center of the blizzards aim. Forecasters have warned residents of the nations capital to brace for more than 30in of snow and wind gusts up to 50mph in some places. If predictions are accurate, snow totals in the District could shatter records set in 1922.
Beyond the blizzards most extreme snowfall, storm conditions ranging from hail and severe lightning to several feet of snow are forecast for areas stretching from Florida to New England. The National Weather Service (NWS) announced on Friday afternoon that New York City should expect 12-18in of snow, most of it falling on Saturday.
So far, seven deaths have been attributed to the storm, principally due to traffic incidents: four were reported in North Carolina, one in Maryland, one in Tennessee and one in Kentucky. The North Carolina state highway patrol has reported 928 car crashes and 1,400 calls for help over the first 13 hours of the storm.
Airports have cancelled more than 6,000 flights as zero-visibility conditions grounded entire airports, and Washington DC shut down its public transit system through Monday morning for the first time since Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The national park service also announced that museums and memorials along the National Mall would be closed at least through Sunday.
Ahead of the storms arrival, Mayor Muriel Bowser had declared a state of emergency and was joined by the governors of Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia. In Philadelphia, where the NWS has predicted up to 20in of snow, the director of emergency operations, Samantha Philips, announced a city-wide snow emergency beginning Friday night. Philips said that the city hopes to clear the streets to reduce the potential damages of snow-laden trees falling into streets and sidewalks.
Bowser was forced to offer a hurried apology earlier this week for failing to prepare the district for a few inches of snow that fell there on Wednesday. The dusting quickly turned the Washington areas evening commute into an hours-long gridlock for thousands of commuters including the president, whose motorcade was heading to the White House from Andrews air force base.
The storms sustained winds could make blizzard conditions particularly dangerous whenpaired with the expected record snowfall, according to the NWS. The agencys meteorologists expect the snowstorm to affect as many as 50 million people.
This will be a potentially paralyzing storm that is life-threatening, NWS director Louis Uccellini said in a news conference on Thursday at the services forecasting center in Maryland.
He said that the main computer models projecting the path and severity of the storm showed similar patterns which was unusual and he urged civic leaders to take the forecast especially seriously.
Uccellini predicted coastal flooding in the mid-Atlantic states as a result of a cycle of high tides swept higher by strong onshore winds.
Freezing rain, sleet and thunderstorms moved from Texas up to Oklahoma and across Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas, bringing severe weather that turned to snow as it reached cold air from Canada over the Carolinas.
Paul Kocin, also of the NWS, has predicted the storm could join the top 10 snowfall totals on record. The mechanisms coming together for a major snowfall are textbook, he said.
Many store shelves, in the Washington area especially, were cleared out of basic milk, bread, toilet paper, batteries and beer by Thursday evening, and the snow shovels were in short supply.
New York City mayor Bill de Blasio warned that New Yorkers should plan a weekend at home in order to avoid accidents, and make way for 2,400 snow ploughs that will spread more than 300,000 tons of rock salt.
We are bracing here in New York City for the first big snowstorm of this winter, de Blasio said at a press conference on Friday. Get done what you have to get done today.
The Weather Channel dubbed the event Winter Storm Jonas, though the NWS does not recognize the practice of naming winter storms. The forecast of strong winds forced the cancellation of a free winter weekend sports event known as Winter Jam in New Yorks Central Park.
By the time the storm reaches Boston, which was hit with record late-winter snows last year, the snow will likely bring no more than a dusting.

He Does Something Surprising To This Homeless Woman. But Her Response Is Even More Shocking.
One common stereotype of a homeless individual asking for money, is that the money will go towards drugs or alcohol.
But is this really true? Many homeless politely ask for change so they can get a meal. Is this really a ploy to obtain alcohol? Nornitube decided to put this to the test. He hit the streets and didnt play around. He gave the homeless individuals that he came across a straight-up choice. Do you want a sandwich or do you want a beer?
Check out what happens in this social experiment that puts the stereotype to the test. Beer or sandwich? Very interesting what the responses are, and admittedly, not what I expected.
