Yahoo is buzzing today and lots of people are making online searches. Let’s see what the top 10 most popular things users are looking for on this early January day.

Top 10 Yahoo Searches

1. Elvis Presley

2. BCS National Championship

3. Youth in Revolt

4. Balloon Boy

5. Pirates of the Caribbean

6. Nick Jonas

7. Charlie Sheen

8. School Closings

9. Washington Capitals

10. Ellen DeGeneres

Those are what Internet users are looking for today. No big surprise to see Elvis at number 1 on his birthday today. The BCS college football game was last night; where Alabama hammered the over ranked Texas Longhorns to win the National Title in college football. It would be nice to have a playoff system, so we wouldn’t have these awful championship match ups. I know half of the teams in the SEC could have beat the Longhorns last night and not fair to showcase the best two teams in the country for the BCS Title Game.

I know most people in America are freezing right now with the temperatures so cold. The 2nd arctic blast from the North is flowing in and everyone is staying indoors with the thermostats on high. This is why we see “school closings” making the top 10 at Yahoo and many schools have closed or will not be open on Friday. The rest of the weekend promises to be cold for most of the nation, so we aren’t out of this brutal winter pattern yet. Even in Georgia, the temperature may not get above freezing again, until sometime on Sunday and maybe as late as Monday, before the thermometer sees 32 degrees or higher. I think schools will reopen on Monday for most school systems, but we may see other problems when the temperatures do go back up. City workers are expecting to see a lot more water main breaks as these pipes begin to unthaw sometime next week. Stay tune…
