variation in genetics is telling us about something in variation in human sexual behavior. we re planning a larger study and looking at several other genetic markers. we re moving forward trying to understand how sit that our biology predisposes us for a wide variety of sexual activities. the big thing is the context. americans all over engage in sexual activity. well over 95% have sex, but is it a committed relationship, uncommitted relationship, one night stand? so justin, is there a test to figure outlet s say you what about to know i want to date this woman or man and maybe marry them, can you figure out before you get involved? theoretically, you could. the test is just a fairly simple genetic test that can be done in the right laboratory, although i don t think we re at a place where we should be plucking hairs out of our partners when they re sleeping at night. dr. wendy, one final word
dumping from 6 to 12 inches of snow creating a travel and christmas shopping nightmare. justin is here with what this storm the latest on what this storm is doing and where it s going. justin, what is up? well, next in line, that s going to be northern new england. we re dealing with some heavy snow throughout much of the intertastate 95 corridor right now. the conditions here are continue to deteriorate. that s bad news. we re dealing with a mixed bag of precipitation. let s go in closer. we ve already seen snowfall amounts from 6 to 10 inches. next in line vermont new hampshire, massachusetts, new york city, the fine line right now between the sleet and the rain and also the snow. i think the city it s up to 3 to 6 inches. you don t have to go that far north and west. i m talking you can see a half a
foot. here around six inches, northwestern suburbs can see ten and then we re going to see a foot to a foot and a half before all is said and done. here s why. plenty of cold air throughout central and northern new england. temperatures right now are into the lower teens around burlington and portland. bangor at 9 degrees. this is making its move off toward the north and east. we re going to see wind intertwine with the system as well. near blizzard conditions. it s going to be a snowstorm nonetheless. here s what the acumulations look like later on tonight and into tomorrow. over a foot of snow. hazardous travel. very slippery conditions and needless to say, it s going to stay cold out there. so justin, let me ask you, this is seemingly turning to rain. rain snow, rain snow, is that what new york at least can expect. you know, they re right on that fine line.
