Well the NFL Playoffs start today with a pair of games, in the NFC New Orleans will be at Seattle and in the AFC the New York Jets will be at Indianapolis.  The Packers will play at Philadelphia tomorrow.  In college basketball action today the Virginia Cavaliers will be at home again today against the North Carolina Tar Heels, the Cavs are 1-0 in ACC so far this year.  The VCU Rams will on the road at UNC Wilmington tonight.  The Colonial Heights Colonials boys basketball team lead for 3 quarters last night before Thomas Dale came back in the 4th quarter and knocked off the Colonials 76-63.  Well we got a little bit of light snow last night here in the Heights but they are calling for a much bigger snow event on Tuesday but no one seems to want to make prediction on how much snow we are going to get, after the last big mix up with the last snow I think they are going to be a bit slower on pulling the trigger on there predictions.  MICKEY

Feed a cold, starve a fever
The old wives’ tale has been a staple since the 1500s when a dictionary master wrote, “Fasting is a great remedie of feuer.”

The Truth: “Colds and fevers are generally caused by viruses that tend to last seven to 10 days, no matter what you do,” says Rachel Vreeman, MD, a fellow in Children’s Health Services Research at the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis. “And there is no good evidence that diet has any effect on a cold or fever. Even if you don’t feel like eating, you still need fluids, so put a priority on those.” If you’re congested, the fluids will keep mucus thinner and help loosen chest and nasal congestion.
