Here’s some of what I’m reading up on this morning: 

• It’s ridiculously cold out and just generally bad in a lot of parts of the U.S. this morning. In Kentucky, hundreds of people are left stranded. In New York, a plane crashes on landing. 

• Speaking of crashing planes, Harrison Ford landed a small plane on a golf course in Los Angeles. 

• IS bulldozes a major archeological site in Iraq. 

• Mercedes-Benz is building a massive new factory for its commercial vans in South Carolina. 

• You can now use Google to shop for car insurance in California; all other states are coming soon. 

• An 11-year-old child in England dresses up as the guy form 50 Shades of Grey, with cable ties and a mask, for World Book Day and is asked to alter his outfit. But his mom stands by her decision to allow him to go to school like a that.

• We eat too much sugar. 

• Did you see the smallest moon of the year last night?
