BOSTON (AP) — The wintry storm that struck New England on Wednesday didn't drop a lot of snow, but the timing made for a slippery, sloppy morning commute. The storm was expected to drop 2 to 4 inches of snow on most areas of southern New England, with the highest amounts in central Massachusetts and northeastern Connecticut. Some school districts cancelled classes for the day, including Worcester, Massachusetts, where more than 5 inches of snow had fallen by 8 a.m., according to the National Weather Service. Other school districts delayed the start of the day by two hours. Lighter snowfall totals were expected in northern areas of New England, where the weather service warned of black ice on Maine and New Hampshire roads as temperatures dropped. In Maine, a deicing truck bumped into an airplane at the Portland International Jetport. No injuries were reported but passengers had to return to the gate while the plane was checked out. Many commuter rail lines in greater Boston … [Read more...] about Wintry storm makes for slippery, sloppy morning commute

As accessibility to cannabis rises, so too does the need for an understanding of what to buy and why Aliza Sherman suffered debilitating neck pain that led to insomnia, and menopause symptoms that she had been unwittingly exacerbating every evening with red wine. After exploring cannabis — initially as a new market for her digital marketing services — she learned that its anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic properties could allow her to sleep and become “virtually pain-free,” she says. Cannabis was an unexpected treatment for Sherman — her eighth-grade science project was “Close Encounters of the Worst Kind,” about marijuana being a “gateway drug” to heroin. “This is what I was taught. You would go to the library and that is what every book said, and we were indoctrinated at this young age to believe these lies,” she says. Her experience later in life provided an “aha” moment. “Suddenly what I thought … [Read more...] about A re-education for the canna-curious in the over 35-set

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Damian Lillard had 31 points, including eight 3-pointers, and the Portland Trail Blazers handed the New York Knicks their 10th straight loss, 115-87 on Tuesday night. Hassan Whiteside added 17 points and 15 rebounds, and the Blazers ended a two-game skid. Portland led by as many as 32 points. Julius Randle had 15 points for the Knicks, who have won just four games, fewest in the league. They have one win on the road. The Knicks opened their four-game West Coast trip in disarray after coach David Fizdale was fired on Friday, just hours after he ran practice. Mike Miller was named interim head coach, and New York lost 104-103 at home to Indiana the next night. In Portland, New York faced Carmelo Anthony, who played for the Knicks from 2011-17. When the Blazers picked up Anthony on Nov. 19, the 10-time All-Star had been out of the game for more than a year. But he has fit in well with Portland as a starter, averaging nearly 16 points and six rebounds a game. … [Read more...] about Reeling Knicks Drop 10th Straight, Lose To Trail Blazers 115-87

Howdy, I’m your host, Houston Mitchell. Let’s get right to the news.BASEBALLFans of the Dodgers and Angels were anticipating an early Christmas present this year. One group of fans would be disappointed, but surely either the Dodgers or Angels would sign Gerrit Cole, right? Wrong.Cole, the NL Cy Young Award runner-up, reached agreement with the New York Yankees on Tuesday night for $324 million over nine years, according to people with knowledge of the development. Advertisement It is the largest contract given to a pitcher in major league history, eclipsing the seven-year, $245 million deal the Washington Nationals gave Stephen Strasburg on Monday. Cole’s deal includes a full no-trade clause.Cole spurned his hometown Angels for a team better positioned to return him to the playoffs. He ignored overtures from the Dodgers, too, instead signing with the Yankees, whose deep pockets and stacked roster appealed to Cole. It didn’t hurt that Cole’s favorite team … [Read more...] about The Sports Report: Yankees (not Dodgers or Angels) sign Gerrit Cole
