Briarcliff's Inspired Chef Offers Ode to Christmas BRIARCLIFF, N.Y. -- I don’t know if anyone knows this about the Inspired Chef, but I grew in the suburbs of Cleveland, a nice Jewish girl who loved to celebrate Christmas.

Siberians Enjoy The Winter Wonderland In Weston WESTON, Conn. -- While Tuesday's snow kept many people indoors, three Siberian Huskies owned by the Peyreigne family in Weston relished playing in the white stuff.

The snow has been a welcome sight for the Siberian Huskies, who are all about 5 years old. Warmer temperatures are forecast over the next several days, and -- bad news for the Sibes and other snow lovers -- no more snow is predicted over the next few days.
