Avalanche Canada currently rates the danger as 'Extreme,' or the highest level of danger. People are encouraged to stay out of the backcountry and prepare for road closures if crews deem additional control work necessary.
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.

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.

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.
