UNDATED (AP) — Forecasters say an area including southern Indiana and Illinois and eastward through Ohio into western Pennsylvania looks to be in just the right spot to catch the brunt of ice, snow or freezing rain expected to fall today. But a wide area from Missouri to the mid-Atlantic and as far south as Alabama and Georgia could be affected. The freezing temperatures are expected to hang around most of next week.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A top NASCAR driver will miss tomorrow's season-opening Daytona 500 and maybe a lot more because of a domestic abuse case. NASCAR has suspended Kurt Busch indefinitely after a judge said the 2004 former champion almost surely choked and beat a former girlfriend last fall and there was a "substantial likelihood" of more domestic violence from him in the future. The judge issued the opinion in granting a no-contact order. Busch will appeal the NASCAR discipline.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — State media report North Korean leader Kim Jong Un pronounced himself well pleased after inspecting a live-fire artillery drill by his country's military units near the sea border with the rival South. The exercise is believed to be timed as a show of strength ahead of annual U.S.-South Korean exercises, which Pyongyang has condemned as a rehearsal for an invasion.
