SOME MORE WINTER WEATHER POSSIBLE, VCU AT GEORGE MASON

Well it looks like we will get a little light snow this afternoon before it changes to sleet, rain and freezing rain later tonight. It also looks like we may pick up a little light snow tomorrow as well along with some very strong winds as well. I am sick of cold weather period. The VCU Rams have another big game in the CAA tonight when they travel up to Fairfax to play the George Mason Patriots, I as sure there will be some Rowdy Rams fans who make the trip up there for the game. Lee are you going up there or are you going to watch it on TV. The Colonial Heights boys and girls basketball teams are scheduled to play Petersburg weather permitting, the girls team will be at home while the boys team travels over to Petersburg to face the #1 team in the state in AAA undefeated Petersburg.

Show your allegiance and save: Signing up for a store's loyalty program can amount to cash back in your wallet. (Or, rather, keeping more cash in your wallet.) Cardholders get not only better deals on their current purchases, but also coupons worth cash off future trips.

Don't over-buy: Leftovers are great (personally, I like day-two pizza), but waste isn't cool. One U.S. Department of Agriculture study found that Americans discard more than one pound of food a day. There are many tricks to keeping track of leftovers (with labels, for example, or a list on the front of the fridge), but you have to remember to actually consume the food before it spoils. On the front end, buying less (even if it means paying a little more per unit) may be financially worthwhile. So keep track of the waste and adjust your meals and shopping plans accordingly.

“He that is good for making excuses
is seldom good for anything else.”
