Much of New England awoke with 4-8+ inches of snow as a low pressure system continues to press eastward. The system moves into the Atlantic during the day today, ending this latest round of winter storm for the Northeast with colder than normal temperatures through the remainder of the weekend.

This Christmas Eve, remember Ukraine.

Darkness, empty chairs, voices gone forever —
this is not fate.

So many beautiful lives were taken,
not by time,
but by Russia’s war.

On Christmas Eve 1968, in Lunar orbit, the Apollo 8 crew took this photo: “Earthrise."

I'll never forget how inspiring the Apollo missions were to my brother and me as kids. They showed us what our country and humanity can accomplish when we work together toward a common goal.

This has happened before. In the late 1930s, Eddie Bauer doctored a photo of their original store, removing the animal carcasses. This was to appeal to urban lifestyle customers drawn to the idea of outdoor life, but didn't like the idea of hunting. Hence renaming hunting coats to barn coats postwar
