Trenton, NJ It all started as a joke. After it turned serious, harness racing John “The Greek” Sikaras is still sporting one of the biggest grins in western Pennsylvania. As well he should.
Sikaras recorded his first driving win Nov. 27 in an $8,500 Great Lakes Amateur Driving Association event at The Meadows. The fact his horse, Explosive Leggs, went off at 23-1 is pretty neat in its own right. Throw in the fact that Sikaras turned 70 on June 12, and you’ve got a Pittsburgh area feel-good story that ranks right up there with the invention of the famed Primanti Brothers sandwich.
always, it was supposed to be three cans of water to one can and we were so poor, it was like four and a half cans, stretching for five kids and, yeah. clayton: as far as you can. rick: good old days. all right, you guys, temperatures waking up. it s cold across the south and another cold day at least by reason of what you would typically see this time of year. tonight will be another cold one and we start to warm up a little bit. we have a storm that we re watching, and one of them, actually not a big storm, but we ve had snow across the parts of the southeast and yesterday we ll see a repeat of that today. a lot of east coast, what you saw yesterday is kind of what you ll get today. a storm across the west that s pulling in here and this is going to be a big weather maker for us in the west right now we ve got some rain and snow, it s not huge rain or snow, but as the storm gets going across the northern plains, we have winter storm warnings in effect and start late in afternoo
up across the areas of the texas and in towards o city and back up to 69 degrees, so, that s pretty good for you today. into the northern plains, this is where we ll watch the next storm pull up. the storm in north daimler-chrysler and minnesota, five o clock this evening and then it will snow all night long and eventually, by tomorrow, mid day, move in towards the chicago area, as well, but a cool day, temps 33 in fargo, across the west we re dealing storm moving in and a lot of mountain snow across parts of nevada and central rockies and see a little bit more cloud cover across the desert southwest. all right, back to you inside. clayton: thanks, rick. you heard about the florida man sleeping in his bed, but suddenly he was swallowed up by the sinkhole underneath his house. and decnext, we ll talk to a sinkhole expert how to contain the damage. tucker: and kids think it s funny, viral calls and they won t be laughing once they re thrown in jail. and cops are bringing this
probably towards chicago by tomorrow and then that storm emerges out of this area in the plains and moves in towards parts of the southeast and the mid atlantic. so we re going to see some rain, that blue line there you see is the 32 degree line. he so, it s the north of that or to the west of it is going to be freezing temperatures. this storm is probably going to be elevation related so if you re up above say 500 feet up to 1,000 feet elevation, a lot more snow and coastal areas and probably not as much, at least elevations closer to sea level about as much. it looks like potentially a wednesday night storm around the washington d.c. area, which is only had just over one inch of snow this year, this could be the storm that gets us back up towards our average. we ll see. alisyn: you re getting snow, tucker, prepare yourself on wednesday. tucker: i m waxing the runners on my sled. alisyn: okay. clayton: and that s not a euphemism. coming up on the show, illegal immigrants are g
