Damaging winds will be the greatest risk in both regions,

  Damaging winds will be the greatest risk in both regions,  with cities like Cleveland; Columbus, Ohio; Indianapolis and Detroit on guard in the northern risk area, and Mobile, Alabama, and Tallahassee, Florida, at risk in the southern area. Through Friday, the Chicago area is forecast to see peak wind gusts of 35-40 mph. Detroit is bracing for gusts up to 45-50 mph, and Indianapolis may see gusts reaching 55-60 mph. Buffalo, New York, has the strongest winds in its forecast, at 60 mph. These widespread, long-duration wind gusts will likely down trees, cause power of  elopements outages and delay air travel through Thursday night.As the storms roll on, snow will continue across northern Wisconsin and northern Michigan, with several inches expected through Friday morning.Some showers will also move into the Northeast, with a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain possible as the storm system's northern edge interacts with colder air in New England. But in parts of the Ohio...

Dr. Roebroeks and his colleagues concluded

  Dr. Roebroeks and his colleagues concluded  that at least some Neanderthals lived in substantially larger groups than is often hypothesized. The researchers estimated that a group of 25 foragers working in tandem would have required three to five days to skin and carve up a single 11-ton elephant, and an equal amount of time to process it. The yield: more than 2,500 daily portions of 4,000 calories per portion. The team calculated that an extended family of 25 could go three months before going hungry, 100 foragers could eat for a month, and 350 people could eat for a week, provided they had cultural knowledge and mechanisms to store food over that period by drying, freezing or caching. Traces of  charcoal fires have been found at the site, suggesting that the Neanderthals may have dried meat on racks and roasted it. (The researchers also assumed that even a Neanderthal on a Paleo diet would have needed more than meat to survive without nutrient deficiencies.)
