Snowy Scene For Some
Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 13:05:55 GMT
Before you get the snow, you need the cold, and temps this morning are cold enough to support snow across many locations. Moisture is limited away from the coast, so patchy light snow showers/flurries are present there, but other than spotty light dustings of snow, not much is falling. Close to the coast, close to an inch of snow fell overnight across Cape Ann and heavier and steadier bursts of snow have dropped even more across parts of Plymouth County. That is where the focus of the falling snow will be for the morning commute, as we’ll see snow covered untreated roads and reduced visibility at times. Snow continues across Plymouth County and parts of the Cape through mid to late morning, before drying out this afternoon. Many locations east of Route 24 to Route 3 will pick up 1-2″ of snow with isolated pockets of 3″ in a few towns. Even the western Cape picks up a coating to a couple inches. It’ll be dry and cold this afternoon with highs in the 30s. We...Denny Laine, co-founder of bands Wings and The Moody Blues, dies at 79

(CNN) — House Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday that before publicly releasing footage of the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, the faces of the mob will be blurred to protect them from the Justice Department.The Louisiana Republican said during a news conference that he wants to make sure rioters don’t get prosecuted.“We’re going through a methodical process of releasing them as quickly as we can,” Johnson said. “As you know, we have to blur some of the faces of persons who participated in events of that day because we don’t want them to be retaliated against and to be charged by the DOJ and to have other, you know, concerns and problems.”He added: “So that’s a slow process to get it done.”Federal investigators and prosecutors already have footage from the Capitol’s security cameras and have used it to charge and prosecute members of the mob that day.But online sleuths and individuals from the public have previously helped to identify many people from images take...OBF: Written in stone: Pats haven’t hit rock bottom

The Patriots have hit “rock bottom” more times this season than Wile E. Coyote bouncing down a cliff.They are not going to run out of “rocks” or “bottoms” any time soon.Sunday, the Chargers zapped Zappe & Company in a 6-0 soulless loss. By now you know these Patriots are the first team since the mighty 1938 Chicago Cardinals to allow 10 points or fewer in three straight games only to lose all three.Rock bottom?Yes. For now.But the Patriots are in line for a string of upcoming “rock bottoms” that could leave them so deep they’ll emerge in China.Thursday, the Patriots visit Pittsburgh. This roster is so devoid of talent that the Amazon Prime hype slide last week featured an image of Bill Belichick as the most notable Patriot.Sadly, neither Samuel Adams, Sam Adams, John Adams, nor Julius Adams is still with us. This nationally televised game is set to feature Zappe and Mitch Trubisky as the starting quarterbacks.The points total for Thursday’s game as of this writing was 30.

First, a declaration of bias from this journalist: I have a soft spot in my heart for Black Mountainin Jackson, N.H.I looked down on the snowy white tree-lined trails every day from the peak of the nearby ski area I grew up at – now defunct Tyrol Mountain. I headed over to Black often; usually with some of my great local friends who knew the mountain well. I competed in freestyle jumping there and every time I ski that trail now, I harken back to those glory days.It was one of my very favorite apres spots when I came to that age, and is to this day, I like to get back there and experience it all: the lovely, narrow, woodlined classic eastern trails, the fun albeit aged base lodge and pub, the upscale but kicked back dinners at The Shovel Handle and, yes, even the semi-slow ride on the lovely, classic red double chair.It’s the first place I ever skied with my now husband of 40 years.I still cherish my now very old and priceless-to-me season passes from the place. So when I heard it w...Suspects sought in smash-and-grab jewellery store robbery at Yorkdale Mall

WASHINGTON (AP) — A new guide from the Department of Homeland Security released Wednesday aims to help churches, synagogues, mosques and other houses of worship protect themselves at a time of heightened tensions in faith-based communities across the country.The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, an arm of Homeland Security, works with faith groups across the country to help them prepare for and prevent targeted violence against their facilities and their members. David Mussington, who’s in charge of infrastructure security at CISA, says the goal of the 16-page document is to give useable information in a format that’s easy to understand. “It’s designed to be clear, to be less jargon-filled and to provide guidance and assistance in getting assistance from us,” Mussington said.The guidance, dubbed “Physical Security Performance Goals for Faith-Based Communities,” outlines how faith groups can better protect themselves: keeping landscaping like hedges trimme...Edmunds recommends the best all-wheel-drive SUV alternatives
Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 13:05:55 GMT
You can find all-wheel drive on most new SUVs on sale today, and some of the most popular models even come standard with this feature. All-wheel drive can be beneficial for the additional traction it provides on slippery or icy roads, especially when you’re trying to accelerate from a stop or up a hill. But what if you want all-wheel drive without the SUV? After all, SUVs are typically less fuel-efficient and more expensive than a comparably sized sedan or hatchback. Fortunately, there are options for shoppers seeking SUV alternatives with all-wheel drive. Edmunds’ experts have picked five of their favorites. The following prices include destination charges. AFFORDABLE HATCHBACK: 2024 SUBARU IMPREZAOf course, one of the main reasons you may be worried about not having an SUV is storage space. The Subaru Impreza is a nice alternative.

Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 13:05:55 GMT
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden will sign an executive order on Wednesday during a tribal nations summit that aims to make it easier for Native Americans to access federal funding and have greater autonomy over how to invest those funds. “Tribal nations still face unacceptable barriers to fully exercising their inherent sovereignty, and really too often that occurs because of the way we are administering federal funding programs,” said Neera Tanden, White House domestic policy adviser. Historically, Tanden said, federal policies attacked Native people’s rights to self-governance and caused lasting economic damage. The Biden administration is working to undo that damage, she said. The order in part creates a clearinghouse for Native American tribes to find and access federal funding, and it requests that federal agencies ensure that funding is accessible and equitable. The order will be unveiled on the first day of an annual summit, when Biden is expected to address...Trump won't rule out abusing power, seeking retribution if he returns to the White House

NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump declined to rule out abusing power if he returns to the White House after Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity asked him Tuesday to respond to growing Democratic criticism of his rhetoric.The GOP presidential front-runner has talked about targeting his rivals — referring to them as “vermin” — and vowed to seek retribution if he wins a second term for what he argues are politically motivated prosecutions against him. As Trump has dominated the Republican presidential primary, President Joe Biden has stepped up his own warnings, contending Trump is “ determined to destroy American democracy.” Bannon, Patel say Trump ‘dead serious’ about revenge on media: ‘We’re going to come after you’ “Under no circumstances, you are promising America tonight, you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody?" Hannity asked Trump in the interview taped in Davenport, Iowa.“Except for day one," Trump responded. “I want to close...Latest news
