If there is no school, there is absolutely no problem for youngsters across the two Virginia's, who brought out the positive from Sunday's storm with snowball fights, snow angels, and other fun activities.
Heavy snow fall is bound to keep people off the roads, but for West Virginia Division of Highways driver, Glen Walker, it was a typical workday for him for the past 30 years. "I've done this for so many years. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. It's just a daily routine for me," Walker laughed.
Snow covered roadways and winter weather are a recipe for disaster. From cars getting stuck in the median to tractor trailers jack knifing, slippery conditions can cause headaches for drivers.
EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) - The Edmonton Oilers appear to have shored up their defense under new head coach Ken Hitchcock. Mikko Koskinen made 24 saves in his third shutout of the season and Connor McDavid scored the only goal as the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Calgary Flames 1-0 on Sunday. "It takes a lot of effort to play good defense, especially against a team like that that has so many skilled, offensive players," Oilers defenseman Adam Larsson said.
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Harold Baines was given a save as big as any Lee Smith ever posted.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) - The celebratory mob scene in the corner of the end zone broke out far from Ryan Tannehill, leaving him in the open field, running and screaming as he waved his arms. Since he couldn't find anyone to hug, he flopped to the grass on his back, the job done and the game won. "I collapsed - just the emotion of the whole thing," Tannehill said.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Amari Cooper's impact on Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott has been dramatic. The new No. 1 receiver for the Cowboys shook up the NFC East race, too.
