Good morning. It snowed again. The federal government will open two hours late today, and workers have the option for unscheduled leave or unscheduled telework. Most area school systems are closed or have delayed their openings. There's a chance of more snow until 11 AM, then cold and windy-the nominal high of around 41 will feel colder. A low near 24 tonight.

No bill prize: A grand jury in DC declined to indict six Democratic lawmakers who made a video that angered President Trump.

Good morning. Cloudy with a high around 39 today and a small chance of light snow after 1 PM. Snow chances continue overnight, with a low temperature near 25.

We've had a look at a fresh line of the hurdle track right out beside the chase track, Graffin said on Friday. In my opinion, this line is currently fit to race despite 22mm of rain last night. However, we do have the potential for a further 10-20mm of rain. We would like to get a bit of luck with that, but it is currently fit to race.
Good morning. Another very cold, very windy day awaits you, with a high around 21 that the wind will knock down to values as low as -2.

Good morning. Partly sunny with a high around 43 today. The National Weather Service has issued a cold weather advisory beginning at 8 PM tonight. Temperatures will plunge to a low near 11 that wind will make feel even colder. As you may have heard, a major snowstorm is forecast for this weekend, with heavy snow beginning Saturday night. Enjoy the snow while it's beautiful, take care when shoveling, and I'll see you on the other side Monday.
When my boyfriend and I planned a 10-day trip to Japan, we had no idea what to expect. Although we've traveled around the world together, it was our first time visiting the country. Upon landing, everything felt completely foreign - it was evident I was far from home. Fortunately, we found Japan to be fun and easy to navigate as foreigners. With translation apps and a little bit of research, the majority of our trip went by without a hitch.
The Chargers play in an open-air stadium, so it's not technically a dome, but it does have a canopy roof that mainly shields them from the elements. Even better, they play in Los Angeles, and that is not an area that gets New England cold or any extreme weather like sleet or snow. That won't be something they're spared on Sunday, as the weather report for Foxborough already looks like it will benefit the home team.
We needed these recent and endless rainstorms to symbolically wash away as much of 2025 as possible. But what a friggin' mess-so sorry for everyone impacted by the storms and king tides and power outages. While looking at Fortuna contentedly basking in her sunbath this morning, I'm not the only one thankful blue skies have returned after the deluge. The air is so clean and crisp.
Good morning. Gusty winds will make today's high of around 36 feel much colder. The strong breezes persist overnight, with snow flurries possible and a low near 26.

After days of deliberation and faced with a forecast getting soggier by the day, Santa Anita officials have decided to postpone opening day of the 2025-26 race meeting from Friday until Sunday, Dec. 28. It's just the second time since 1976 that Santa Anita will not open on the day after Christmas. The other time was in 2019 for the same reason: wet weather. More than eight inches of rain are projected to fall between Tuesday night and Friday at Santa Anita.
The chill's grip on us finally loosens today, as cold temperatures this morning yield to a high around 50 by mid-afternoon. A low near 30 overnight.

"We do have a nice area of low pressure sort of anchoring itself just to our west. And it is trying its best now to drive plenty of rain-laden moist air up and over us for most of this week." He continued: "And at the same time, we do have a cooler northerly flow which is developing just off to our north. And these two weather systems are sort of meeting head-on for most of this week."
From the beginning, my mistake was not realizing how drastically the weather can change from one region to the next. Now after visiting the country more than eight times, I've become an expert on what to pack for a trip to Iceland. I've learned that a backpack filled with back-up waterproof jackets and pants are a must, and that having more layers is better than just wearing one.
News from the ground is that the weather is looking perfect. It's hot out there around 32 degrees at the moment. It looks unlikely that the rain that crushed Pakistan's hopes in Colombo yesterday will travel up north to Visakhapatnam to put a dampener on this game. Share 1. Rubya Haider 2. Farzana Hoque 3.
