The weekend is about to start and a mix of snow and sun (yes, that鈥檚 right) is expected throughout the weekend.
Fun Fact of the day:
On February 7, 1994, Michael Jordan signed a minor league contract with the Chicago White Sox of Major League Baseball after abruptly retiring from a dominant run in the NBA four months earlier when Jordan and his Chicago Bulls won the last three straight league championships.
Jordan had said that the recent death of his father had inspired him to make the change and chase a different dream.
During the brief but highly publicized baseball career, Jordan notched three homeruns, 30 stolen bases and 114 strikeouts in 127 games with the White Sox鈥檚 minor league affiliate Birmingham Barons.
After a year gone, Jordan returned to the NBA to lead the Bulls to another three back-to-back championships.
