He seems to be well on his way with almost a half million followers on Instagram and now producing his own Christmas songs!

With all this snow on the ground it’s a good time to figure out the difference between a snowstorm and a blizzard.
Snowstorm: Can involve snow, sleet, ice, or freezing rain and usually has freezing temperatures. Snowstorms can be dangerous because of the driving conditions and hazardous elements.
Blizzard: Unlike the delicious treat from DQ a blizzard can be way more destructive than a snowstorm. To be classified as a blizzard, conditions need to involve three things. 1) Winds that are sustained at 35 miles per hour or more 2) snow that reduces visibility to a quarter-mile or less and 3) the conditions must be expected to last for at least three hours.
The storm we just had this week was actually a nor’easter. Which is when the storm comes from a low-pressure system originating in the Mid-Atlantic coast and gains strength as it moves towards the east coast.

The holiday season is always stressful but this year more than ever people are either burned out or just don’t have the time for things like gift wrapping.
Enter Trumbull teenager Sarah Wojtaszec. Sarah loves Christmas so much that she decided she would help out Santa this year by offering free gift wrapping for anyone who needs it.
Sarah told News 12 Connecticut, “I really just wanted to help people out, I wanted to give back to the community. Wrapping is one of the really good things about Christmas, Just gives me a little extra joy in the holidays.
She has wrapped 32 presents so far and plans to do more if people need it. Some have even offered to pay her and she tells them to just donate the money instead. Saying, “It just makes me feel really good to see their smiling faces when they come to the door and pick their presents up.”
If you need some last minute gift wrapping you can reach out to Sarah Wojtasek at (203) 215-8167.
Thanks to News 12 for the fun story.

Trick question! This is actually a myth. Back in 1988, a scientist actually found two identical snow crystals. They came from a snow storm in Wisconsin. So next time someone says that you can hit them with this snow knowledge.
Good luck searching through all these flakes that fell last night here in Connecticut. There’s a whole lot of them.
Tomorrow is the last day for “Can’t Beat Raven” until January 4th. Will someone win the $1,300 or will the jackpot carry over into the new year?!
