Poisonous Cobra Missing from Bronx Zoo

The Bronx Zoo is on day five of its hunt for a missing 20-inch female Egyptian cobra. The 3-ounce snake disappeared on Friday and typically preys on toads and birds, not humans, but can still be deadly. Zoo officials said they may not find the cobra for days, and perhaps weeks.

Spring Clean and Donate

Spring’s weather isn’t here yet, but the time to clean out your closets is.  As the Pelham Jewish Center gears up for its April 9 “Midnight Run,” it’s asking locals to donate clothing to the cause. So, clear out those cluttered shelves and pack up bags of: Backpacks or bags, new underwear, undershirts and socks, men’s pants size 34-42, men’s sneakers, shoes and sweatshirts and bring them over to the PJC on April 3 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

And about the Weather…

The flurries have stopped for now, but don’t expect any warmth to be headed our way today. According to the National Weather Service, we’ll be seeing highs near 45 today and northwest wind between 13 and 18 mph. Let’s think sunny thoughts.
