Walker’s arena announcement, NYC’s blizzardarama, and a satellite powered by the sun.

All the best newsy bits on this overcast winter morning:

  • Gov. Walker is expected to make an announcement this morning about a financing plan for a proposed Downtown arena, according to jsonline.com.
  • Bill Nye (a.k.a., the Science Guy) plans to launch a satellite powered by the Sun. It’s called LightSail.
  • Were you one of the many users of Facebook yesterday affected by the site’s hour-longoutage? The social media site is taking responsibility for the outage, saying it was not a cyber attack.
  • A Racine woman taken into police custody on a marijuana charge allegedly asked police if she’d eventually get her weed back.
  • Was there really a Snowmageddon on the East Coast? Check out these photos and decide for yourself.
