You may have seen that a major snow storm hit the DC, Maryland, Virginal area yesterday into this morning. Hundreds of people were stranded all night in the freezing cold stuck in their cars. The storm caused a 50 mile backup on I-95 in Virginia. Cars and trucks sliding and spinning out on the ice and snow. Not good at all.
U.S. Senator Tim Kaine who lives in Richmond, VA and commutes to the Capitol in DC every day was stuck in his car for 21 hours after leaving for his normal 2-hour commute Monday at 1pm. Tim was live-tweeting the whole time.
In the middle of it all he posted this really nice story of a Connecticut family who was driving back from Florida and handing people oranges who were stuck in their cars. Such a nice gesture. Making us here in the state of CT proud. Love that.

If you’re like me you’ve been in the grocery store cheese aisle wondering should I buy the yellow or white cheese? And what’s the difference?!
When it comes to American cheese they are actually both very similar, but not EXACTLY the same thing. Yellow cheese tends to have a higher fat content which makes for the soft texture and rich flavor. White cheese tends to be more dry and crumbly. Flavor wise yellow is sharper and tangy while white is milder.
Personally, I like putting yellow on my burgers. I feel like it grabs onto the meat better. Yum.

Anna & Raven stopped by our Star 99.9 Downtown Dental Homeroom at Roosevelt School in Bridgeport to play Italian Bingo “Tombola”. We also had some fun Grinch PEZ dispensers thanks to PEZ Candy.
Producer Sean believes he has the best ideas and attachments for Anna’s new walker. Are they actually good ideas or just Sean’s imagination running too wild?
An interesting study was released that claims dogs can smell if you are sick with Covid! Of course, we had to put this to the test, and tried to see if our dogs could smell Covid on us. What is the result? Find out in the podcast.

With supply chain issues cropping up all over the place lately this idea might be the best way to build a home.
Habitat for Humanity built their first home here on the East Coast using 3D printing. The new home was built for a single mother names April and her 13-year-old son.
It was made in just 12 hours. Saving about 4 weeks of construction time. It even comes with a mini 3D printer incase you need to replace little thinks like light switches, door knobs, etc… the home also has solar panels which make it a smart home to they will save on energy costs.
With prices so high for supplies especially lumber the organization said they saved around15% per square foot compared to what normal building cots would be.
The home is made completely our of concrete. It’s a 1,200 square-foot house with 2 full bathrooms. The concrete actually retains temperature better than wood so that will help them save on heating and cooling costs. It will help the walls hold up better to severe storms like hurricanes too.
A touching part of the whole story is how April remembers when she was a kid that her great-grandmother also lived in a concrete style home so she is carrying on the tradition.
Who knows, maybe your next house will be 3d printed!

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2022. Another year begins with the month of January. But where did this month get it’s name from?
January is named after the Roman god “Janus”. He had two faces so he could see the future and the past. Much like how we are looking into the new year and remembering the year that just passed. Makes sense!
