Patch Morning Briefing: Nor'easter Is Coming; Fallout From US Attorneys Firing; Italian Band Deported

Happy Monday? How about we hope you had a good weekend, and here's a few of the things we here at Patch think you need to get your week underway.

Snow Is Coming To The East Coast. Maybe A Lot

If you're living on the East Coast, enjoy the weather on Monday while you can, because as cold as it may be, the National Weather Service says by nighttime it should get worse. The NWS sees a powerful nor'easter coming with up to 6 inches of snow in some areas and possible blizzard conditions in New England. (Patch).

More JCC Centers Were Targeted On Sunday

Six more Jewish Community Centers were targeted with threats on Sunday — five in the United States and one in Canada. The ones in the states were in Indianapolis, Rochester, Houston, Chicago and Milwaukee. The one in Canada was in Vancouver, British Columbia. (Patch).

More Fallout Coming In Firing Of Prosecutors

Preet Bharara made it clear that he was fired by President Trump from his job as the United States Attorney in Manhattan, doing what his former boss does and taking to Twitter. In an interesting twist, he said he knew what the Moreland Commission felt like. It was a group investigating Gov. Andrew Cuomo who disbanded it. Had Bharara been investigating Trump? It's known he was investigating Fox News, owned by Trump supporter Rupert Murdoch. One rumored replacement for Bharara is former federal judge Mike Mukasey. He happens to be Murdoch's lawyer.

Rain Helps. Proof Is In The Pictures.

It's not that things are perfect in California, but things are definitely getting better.

The first one came as the state was headed into emergency drought response. The second showed what a winter of rain will do. Green is a beautiful thing. (Patch).
