Kansas City area. We're getting 3-4 inches today. The area to my immediate north may get 5-8 inches.

Since I'm snowed in and have free time on my hands, I thought I'd revisit Rosenberg's list and speculate on new birthdays for the Legionnaires.
For the days, I've used the issue numbers of first appearances or another comic of particular significance to each character. (There are wide open to interpretation, of course.)

A Musicology Interpretation of Legion Birthdays Many years ago, someone came up with the theory that whatever song was Number One on Billboard Magazine’s Hot 100 Singles Chart the week of your birth had some influence on your life. With that in mind, and because I’m bored, I decided to check my archives and see which songs could possibly have been Number One when each Legionnaire was born.
Of course, I completely ignored such logic as the thousand-year differential or the fact that these songs all hit Number One during various years between January 1955 (when the Rock Era began) and May 1990 (when I stopped following the charts). But, hey, if Legionnaires born on various worlds could have birthdays corresponding to an earth calendar, I figure the same cosmic force must be at work to ensure musicological birthdays.
Just for fun, I included a few non-Legionnaires (including a couple of Reboot versions). Otherwise, these are all Pre-Boot versions of Legionnaires:
January 12 Shrinking Violet (Go Away, Little Girl)
February 5 Stone Boy (Hearts of Stone) 8 Fire Lad (Fire) 18 Chameleon Boy (The Great Pretender) 19 Lightning Lad and Light Lass (Lightning Strikes)
March 10 Element Lad (I Will Survive) 23 Shadow Lass (Dark Lady) 26 Phantom Girl (Rich Girl) 26 Magnetic Kid (Man In the Mirror) 30 Sun Boy (Sunshine On My Shoulder)
April 6 Bouncing Boy (Round and Round) 15 Ferro Lad (The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face)
May 12 Dream Girl (All I Have to Do Is Dream) 22 Winema Wazzo (Mother-In-Law) 29 Mon-El (Travelin’ Man)
June 3 Blok (Rock On) 10 Dawnstar (The Wind Beneath My Wings) 14 Saturn Girl (Sister Golden Hair) 29 Night Girl (Sun Down)
July 19 R.J. Brande (Listen to What the Man Said) 20 Invisible Kid II (Invisible Touch) 20 Chlorophyll Kid (Grazing In the Grass) 28 Brainiac 5 (I Almost Lost My Mind) 30 Wildfire (Wild Thing) 30 Polar Boy (I Just Want to Be Your Everything)
August 2 White Witch (Magic) 4 Tyroc (Shout) 12 Triplicate Girl (Three Times a Lady)
September 19 Colossal Boy (Ain’t No Mountain High Enough) 24 Quislet (Don’t Worry, Be Happy)
October 4 Chemical King (Another One Bites the Dust) 8 Matter-Eater Lad (Love Bites) 11 Lightning Lord (Bad Blood) 26 Color Kid (True Colors)
November 3 Ultra Boy (He’s a Rebel) 10 Princess Projectra (It’s Only Make Believe) 26 Star Boy (Sixteen Tons) 28 Timber Wolf (Leader of the Pack)
December 7 Karate Kid (Kung Fu Fighting) 10 Cosmic Boy (Good Vibrations) 12 Invisible Kid I (Mr. Lonely) 12 Andromeda [reboot version] (Faith) 22 Tellus (Telstar)
