NBC's Lee Cowan and CBS' Cynthia Bowers both filed from Chicago on the cold and snowy start of a Christmas week. Cowan showed us Bears fans "hoping they will get a sweater" as they bared their chests to watch the Packers in –13F temperatures. Bowers worried that municipal budget cuts will hamper snow removal from city streets. ABC went the whole seasonal hog. Its Xmas tripleheader kicked off with Eric Horng at O'Hare Airport in Chicago where "hopes for an easy holiday getaway went away" because hundreds of flights were delayed by heavy snow. It continued with David Muir in New York who worried that "the whiter the Christmas the less green it has become for retailers…with relentless storms paralyzing those last-minute shoppers that retailers depend on." Ryan Owens filed the closer from another airport. The terminal in Houston has installed a karaoke machine so laid-over passengers can impart some seasonal cheer. We heard more-or-less tuneful clips…"I'm dreamin'"…"my two front teeth"…"comin' to town"…"red nosed reindeer"…"jingle bell rock"…with the final word from one crooner: "Sorry."
