Revelers celebrate New Year's across US
Not even a fractured foot could keep Ryan Visto from joining more than a million revelers in Times Square to watch the symbolic sphere make its 100th descent into the new year.

Southeastern Michigan gets record snow
A fast-moving New Year's Day storm dumped more than a foot of snow on southeastern Michigan, a record blast that made driving hazardous.
Authorities reported no deaths or serious injuries from the six-hour burst of snow that started around midnight, but said there were multiple spin-out's and minor accidents.
The storm left 10 to 16 inches of snow across parts of Oakland, Lapeer and St. Clair counties north of Detroit, the National Weather Service said. The western St. Clair County community of Capac reported 16 inches.
