Mid-Atlantic dealing with storm aftermath

Many locals are referring to the recent snow storms in the mid-Atlantic as "snowmaggedon." Thousands of people are without power and the roofs on some of the buildings have collapsed. Transportation departments are continuing efforts to clear snow and ice off the roads.

As much as 55 inches of snow piled up in parts of the region, according to CNN. With that storm accounted for, this winter has been the snowiest on record for Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Md., and Wilmington, Del. If the snowy trend keeps up, records will likely be broken in other cities such as Philadelphia, Pa. and Atlantic City, N.J., according to the National Weather Service.

S.U. men's basketball debuts new uniforms

Nike is releasing new uniforms for multiple NCAA Division I basketball teams this month, according to syracuse.com. Last night at the Carrier Dome both Syracuse and Connecticut's basketball teams donned new Nike uniforms for Wednesday night's Big East match-up, which Syracuse won 72-67, improving its overall record to 24-1.

Syracuse's white home uniforms feature orange accents around the neck and on the waistband, while the orange away unis feature navy blue accents. Nike also incorporated images of S.U. campus landmarks on the back panel of the jersey, such as the Dome and the Hall of Languages.

Nike is referring to the new series of uniforms as the 'Hyper Elite' series and says these new jerseys are the lightest and most breathable of its kind. Along with new game uniforms came new warm-ups, which Orange center, Arinze Onuaku, described as "inmate uniforms."
