Though the commuter was able to pack herself in to the very late L train, a bit of hair didn't quite make the cut!

After a impressively terrible 2014, Don Lemon starts off the year right by hopping in CNN's specially-equipped "Blizzardmobile" and reporting from the streets of New York. The one problem of course being that New York City's snow estimates were way off and nearly all of it is gone as of Tuesday morning.
Viewers noted that the Blizzardmobile was routinely passed by such anti-winter assault vehicles as the Toyota Prius and by all appearances was just a regular van. If only this had happened instead:
Twist: Don Lemon's Blizzardmobile rounds a corner and discovers, on an empty Manhattan street, the missing plane.

A dragon row boat capsized Sept. 20 after a man proposed to his girlfriend, tossing 19 people into New York City's East River. They all had to be rescued by emergency services. Thankfully, everyone's fine.
As The Gothamist writes:
Officials say the boat was capsized by a succession of wakes from larger vessels passing nearby, not from the emotional turbulence that inevitably batters every couple who commits to spending their entire lives together in this f*cked up world, so there's no need to see this as a metaphor for their impending nuptials or the institution of marriage in general. But even if it is A Sign, everybody on board survived, so the takeaway is obviously that when you prepare for life's vicissitudes and wear a life preserver everything will be just fine!
Even without the surprise swimming, that can't have been too romantic of a proposal. I mean, those boats are crammed full of people trying to row their little hearts out. So, it's not like you could find privacy or even a moment's peace to look each other in the eyes, contemplating your future.
Those people look pretty cold after their rescue.
But she said yes! So, the day wasn't ruined for at least two of those people.
The newest storm in this year's Winterpocalypse hit the east coast of the United States this week. The storm, dubbed "Janus" by the Weather Channel (the Weather Channel has a long-standing obsession with the movie Goldeneye, as we all know) dumped snow from North Carolina all the way to Maine. In true American fashion, this didn't stop people from hilariously attempting to drive in the terrible weather. Check out the pics right here!
