Hopefully you enjoyed the mild November air we had today with temperatures soaring to the upper 60s in many towns. But as soon as the mild air surged into New England, it’s on its way out. In fact after our midday sunshine, you probably noticed a few clouds build back in. Out of those clouds were a few sprinkles. Those clouds, and those sprinkles, were the cold front that will send temperatures back below average tomorrow. The good news is we’ll have a ton of sunshine, but temperatures will be stuck in the 40s and with another day of a gusty breeze, will feel pretty brisk and cooler than that.As the cold air moves in and sets up shop Wednesday and Wednesday night, it will set the stage for perhaps a few flakes to fall early Thursday morning. Don’t worry we’re not talking disruptive accumulations or anything crazy. But the air will be cold enough early on Thursday that some spots from Metro West to the Merrimack Valley and northwest of there could see a rain/s...After nearly 200 episodes, the ‘Backlisted’ podcast isn’t running out of great books

For the past 8 years, John Mitchinson and Andy Miller have read and discussed books on Backlisted, the podcast they host that “gives new life to old books.” And now the duo, along with producer Nicky Birch, are approaching the podcast’s 200th episode later this month. When smartphones have no shortage of bad news to deliver, Backlisted’s episodes about ready-to-be-rediscovered titles can feel like a balm to readers and devoted listeners.“If you enjoy reading, you’ll probably want to hang out with the people we like talking to because the common interest is, fundamentally, shared enthusiasm,” says Miller, an author of several books who cohosts the twice-monthly show with Mitchinson, who is the co-founder of Unbound, the crowdfunded publishing house that originally bankrolled the podcast. “So if you want to hear people who love reading talking about reading in a way they hope communicates that love of reading, join us.”Miller, who does deep reading and research to prepare for episodes...House Democrats want overflow site for waitlisted families seeking emergency shelter
Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 14:57:37 GMT
House Democrats proposed spending $50 million to create an overflow site for families and pregnant people placed on a waitlist for emergency shelter to avoid having them sleep outside as they wait for temporary housing, the chamber’s top budget writer said Tuesday.Money for an overflow shelter site is included in a $2.7 billion supplemental budget House lawmakers were preparing Tuesday for a vote Wednesday. Representatives proposed earmarking a total of $250 million to respond to an influx of migrants that has strained shelters across the state.The $50 million for an overflow site is tied to a requirement that the Healey administration find a suitable location within 30 days of the bill’s “effective date” at the risk of not gaining access to the funds and having a cap on the number of families in the emergency shelter system “revoked.”Legislators are concerned about families coming to Massachusetts “that are not going to be eligible for immediate shelter, and what is going to happen...Palestinian Canadians share harrowing stories of loved ones stuck in Gaza
