...against two top Big Ten teams. On Friday evening, No. 48 Harvard (4-3), traveled to chilly Ann Arbor to take on No. 19 Michigan (6-4), where the Crimson failed to overcome the Wolverines for the fourth consecutive year. The team then drove 200 miles through a snowstorm to play Northwestern (10-1) in Evanston, Illinois, where Harvard could not earn a point against the Wildcats.“The weekend was really challenging,” Crimson coach Dave Fish said. “It was very humbling for the team.” NORTHWESTERN 7, HARVARD...
...Unfortunately, few of the stories are so unambiguously amusing. A distressing number recount long periods of time in which the only person to contact the poster was his or her mother, clumsily discovered affairs, and the experience of getting laid off—often after having driven through a snowstorm to reach work on time. With consumer confidence plummeting after a month in which the U.S. lost nearly 600,000 jobs, this is a site for the recession.The site’s essence, then, lies in evoking the mindset of adolescence.

...financial woes of airlines are particularly noticeable during emergency situations, when any lack of resources becomes obvious. On February 15, 2007, passengers on JetBlue’s Flight 751 to Cancun, Mexico were trapped on the runway for eight hours when a snowstorm delayed their flight.

In the case of Flight 751, however, passengers remained stranded on the runway...
...year-old pilot named Roger Peterson had agreed to take the singer to Fargo, North Dakota - the closest airport to Moorehead. A snowstorm was on its way and the young pilot was fatigued from a 17-hour workday, but he agreed to fly the rock star to his next gig because, hey, he would be flying Buddy Holly. The second show ended at midnight. The musicians packed up their instruments and finalized the flight arrangements. Holly's bass player, Waylon Jennings, was scheduled to fly on the plane but gave his seat to the Big Bopper, who was suffering from...
...Kennedy was inaugurated, a rare snowstorm had descended on Washington, blanketing the city with about eight inches of snow. We put J.F.K.'s Inauguration on the cover because it seemed like a break from the past, a new beginning--not just a ceremony or a quadrennial ritual. Kennedy was both the symbol and the embodiment of a new generation of American leadership. President Barack Obama's Inauguration feels the same way--and not just because he is the first African-American President. Right now, Americans seem hopeful and anxious, perhaps in equal measure, making this moment seem like the beginning...
