Festive Flakes Tomorrow Morning

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:03:16 GMT

Today it felt like winter and tomorrow it will look like winter (for some of us). Temperatures this morning actually weren’t too bad, waking up in the 30s. The problem was a lot of clouds today and a north wind that pumped in colder air all afternoon, our temperatures made zero progress from this morning.The north wind was a result of two areas of low pressure offshore from us. The one to the east had more of an influence on our weather today. It caused our north winds and the cold wind over the warmer ocean waters caused enough instability to create a few rain and snow showers over the Cape. Because of the northerly direction, the Cape is the only area that had water to its north and thus the only spot that dealt with the spotty showers.Tomorrow morning the second area of low pressure will control our wind and that will cause them to take a slightly more easterly direction. That more easterly direction will expose the entire coastline of Massachusetts to the onshore wind, whi...

Rookie Johnny Beecher faces being scratched and responds for Bruins

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:03:16 GMT

At first blush, the scratching of Johnny Beecher for last Saturday’s game in Toronto may have seemed a bit rash to some.The rookie centerman had scored three goals in his previous six games, not bad for a fourth line pivot. His faceoff win percentage is currently at 56.2%, impressive for a rookie. The emergence of Beecher and fellow rookie Matt Poitras has been key for the Bruins after the retirements of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci.But in important areas, especially for the role he’s asked to play, Beecher had been slipping. He knew, and so did coach Jim Montgomery. So the former Michigan Wolverine was given a quick reset in the form of a press box view in Toronto and it seemed to do the trick.“I had a meeting with Monty,” said Beecher on Tuesday. “He just kind of called me in and asked me how I thought I’d been playing. And I just said there really hasn’t been anything too fantastic going on, not playing the game fast enough. And he just said that I ne...

Our critic’s picks: Best mystery fiction books of 2023

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:03:16 GMT

Compiling the annual favorite mysteries of the year is a labor of love, and a true labor that begins with the first novel of the year. Annually, it becomes harder to narrow down the list from the 120 or so mysteries I read during the year. And 2023 was another banner year. Major trends in the genre continue to be diversity, regional stories, veterans and domestic suspense.Happy reading.Ivy Pochoda’s decidedly noir novels excavate a part of Los Angeles most people would prefer to ignore — the homeless camps, the run-down motels, the bits of sidewalks and alleys where someone has carved a home of sorts. She peoples this landscape with women on the margins who are plunged into one chaotic situation after another. A bleak setting to be sure, but brilliantly explored as Pochoda burrows deep into her characters’ psyches. “Sing Her Down,” Pochoda’s tour de force, looks at the rage women may carry, why a person — in these cases women — would abandon a comfortable, middle-class living for cr...

Republican National Committee blasts President Biden for attending Boston fundraisers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:03:16 GMT

The Republican National Committee is blasting Joe Biden’s “weak leadership” and “misplaced priorities,” as the president is in Boston for a trio of fundraisers today to benefit his campaign and the broader Democratic Party.“Joe Biden is taking the day off to cozy up to his elite donors while Hamas is still holding as many as eight Americans hostage,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement earlier. “His weak leadership has emboldened our enemies, and his misplaced priorities are disgraceful.”Air Force One landed at Logan International Airport just after 11:18 this morning, and Gov. Maura Healey and Mayor Michelle Wu greeted Biden on the tarmac minutes later.The Biden motorcade arrived at Westin Boston Seaport around 11:45 a.m. for the first fundraising event of the day, and the president later traveled out of the city, making a stop in Weston.Boston’s branch of the Party for Socialism & Liberation will be picketing and rallying at Biden’s last stop of the day – a conce...
