Some of us woke up to the first snow of the season! Towns in southeast Mass picked up the steadiest ocean-enhanced snow showers. Rockland, Norwell and Hanover were a few that came out on top. Boston-Logan picked up 0.2″, which is enough to make it the airport’s first measurable snow of the season.Our highs were stuck in the 30s today, and the cold air is sticking around overnight and into tomorrow. Tonight, most towns will fall into the teens and low 20s. There will be some mid/upper 20s for the Cape. A slight breeze will make it feel even several degrees colder so bundle up!The morning will start off colder, but we’ll see more sun than today. It’ll be a mix of sun and clouds, and the wind will become lighter. High temperatures will still be in the 30s, which is about ten degrees below average for this time of year.You’ll want to keep that thick coat with you for the Menorah Lighting on the Boston Common.

In the first wave, at least 181 Japanese planes started bombing and strafing airfields and ships in Pearl Harbor around 7:55 a.m.(Kurt Snibbe/Southern California News Group)An hour later, 170 more planes arrived in a second wave. The attacks ended just before 8:50 a.m.Japan’s main targets were eight United States battleships: seven moored along Battleship Row, and one in dry dock across the channel. Three sank, one capsized, one was beached and the rest were damaged.In this file photo, Ford Island is seen in an aerial view during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, in Hawaii.

Beacon Hill’s growing financial headache got worse when the Healey administration reported that tax collections tumbled in November, putting the state’s revenue picture about $627 million below the projection for this point in the year.The Department of Revenue announced it collected $2.253 billion in taxes last month, which was $131 million or 5.5% less than in November 2022. It was also $274 million or 10.9% short of the benchmark figure the administration set for the month.Through the first five months of fiscal year 2024, Massachusetts has hauled in about $14.097 billion in taxes. That’s a slight increase of $146 million, or 1%, over the first five months of fiscal year 2023, but $627 million or 4.3% less than the estimates the Healey administration and Legislature used to craft this year’s record $56 billion budget.Tax collections have failed to hit benchmarks for five straight months, getting this state budget year off to a rocky beginning, and forcing ...Nixing MCAS requirement, psychedelic decriminalization advance toward 2024 ballot

Advocates looking to advance their ballot questions to the 2024 state elections cleared another hurdle Wednesday when they submitted thousands of signatures to the secretary of state’s office.Campaigns focused on ending the use of the MCAS as a high school graduation requirement, auditing the Legislature, decriminalizing psychedelics for mental health treatments, opening a pathway for rideshare drivers to unionize, and classifying rideshare drivers as independent contractors all said they had enough signatures to keep moving forward.Members of the Massachusetts Teachers Association rallied outside the State House before heading over to the Secretary of State’s office to finish off filing the more than 135,000 signatures they gathered.The question would end the use of the test as a graduation requirement, not nix the test altogether. The union announced they had cleared the 75,000 signature requirement in early November, among the first initiatives to do so.“We have very high s...City Council opposes plan to move O’Bryant exam school to West Roxbury following community opposition

The City Council passed a resolution Wednesday opposing the controversial plan to move the O’Bryant School of Math and Science from Roxbury to West Roxbury proposed by the mayor and BPS superintendent this summer.“It is the responsibility of the Boston City Council to prioritize the needs of students, parents/guardians, and educators in school building decisions that directly impact residents and their neighborhood,” the resolution states. “Moreover, decisions should not be rendered without an equitable community engagement process.”The resolution, offered by Councilors Julia Mejia, Tania Fernandes Anderson and Erin Murphy, follows a impassioned five-hour hearing on the subject Tuesday night. It states that the council “stands with the O’Bryant community in opposing the current proposed plan” and calls on BPS to release a 10-year district-wide facility plan.The resolution passed with 10 votes in favor and Councilors Ricardo Arroyo and Sharon...Patriots might need help from practice squad based on injury report

Nina Metz | (TNS) Chicago TribuneEarly in the HBO documentary “Great Photo, Lovely Life,” filmmaker and photojournalist Amanda Mustard says she always knew her grandfather was “creepy” and that “some things happened.” But she didn’t know the details of his pedophilia. “And now that I’m looking closer and finding concrete rape charges that he managed to kind of weasel out of, it’s just scratching the surface. I just need to keep looking. Maybe I can hold him accountable.”Her extraordinary film is subtitled “Facing a Family’s Secrets,” and that’s what she’s after. Her grandfather is William Flickinger, a retired chiropractor she interviews before his death — as well as others including her mother, who was both victim and enabler — to get at the truth.In his assisted living community, everyone comments on what a nice person Flickinger is. Then a woman stops by their table. “I hope you are being a good boy,” she jokes. But there’s an edge to their exchange. Maybe it’s not a joke.
