 | KidsPost wants winter weather drawings Jan 22nd 2013, 22:11 Last month, KidsPost asked our readers to draw winter weather art for our daily weather forecast. And you came through: We got pictures of snowmen, of snowball fights, of snow forts, of blizzards. The only problem is that we haven't had much (or any!) snow. So we're asking for cold-weather art (think mittens, hot chocolate, blustery winds). We're hoping that by putting this in the paper, we'll bring on a blizzard that will let us use those snowy drawings!

Downstairs, they fit monkey magnets together at the "Tessellation Station." This is how math is presented at New York City's new National Museum of Mathematics, the only museum of its kind in the United States and a place where math is anything but boring.

An early night. The Obamas got back to the White House Monday night a little after 10 p.m., which left them plenty of time to celebrate at a private, late-night bash in the executive mansion for top donors, staff, and several selected celebrities. The exclusive party was not covered by the White House press, but John Legend, Katy Perry, and Kelly Clarkson were among those helpfully tweeting out news.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s black leather Bible in her magenta-gloved hands. The smaller Lincoln Bible rested atop it. Michelle Obama said nothing during the hour-long inaugural ceremony. But in the sea of black topcoats and C-SPAN stodginess, she stood out — statuesque bearing, new bangs accentuating her cheekbones, and grooming attuned to both the history books and high-definition TV.

Sirens whoop-whoop in the 7 o'clock hour, waking a city of ceremonies to its elemental formality. The furs begin to emerge from hibernation and lumber their fancy way downtown, where they will graze in America's Front Yard, which this holiday weekend is more corral than esplanade.
