Another unsettled day is nearing an end. We’ve been under the influence of the same Low Pressure for just about a week!I mentioned this in my blog this past Monday about how Low and High Pressure systems can move slow this time of year and that’s exactly what happened this week! Thankfully, that Low Pressure begins to drift away from us over the weekend…Weather map for tomorrow does indeed show the weak storm farther away but it will still produce a few isolated showers (even a thunderstorm) tomorrow afternoon…The locations that are most likely to be affected by the brief shower or storm tomorrow afternoon are along the I-95 corridor…That map does not imply everyone in the deep green shading sees rain for 3 continuous hours but rather just the area that is most likely to see a brief shower or t-storm. Temps tomorrow will be closer to our normal high temps for this time of year….around 70. Saturday, for the most part, is a decent weekend day but Su...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:34:22 GMT

As the author of one of the more notable moments in Yankees-Red Sox history, Aaron Boone has some authority when speaking about the rivalry’s ferocity over the years. And if you ask the Yankees’ manager, games between the American League East enemies are still a “heavyweight match.”“Any time Red Sox, Yankees get together, whether it’s [in the Bronx], whether it’s at Fenway, there’s something special about that,” Boone said Friday before his team’s series-opener against Boston at Yankee Stadium. “I’ve gotten to experience it quite a bit now as a player and manager. You feel fortunate to be a part of such a historic sports rivalry, and I have a lot of respect for them. We’ve been through our battles over the years.”Boone, of course, famously won one of those battles for the pinstripers as a player in 2003 when he hit a walk-off home run off Boston’s Tim Wakefield in Game 7 of the 2003 American Le...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:34:22 GMT

Someone must not be happy about the Celtics’ or Bruins’ post-season performance.Two office employees at TD Garden, home to both teams, told police they heard “two loud smacks” Friday morning and found two windows with “glass shattered like a spiderweb.”They called police to report the incident and officers arrived at around 10:35 a.m. and looked at the windows. The police report notes that the two double-paned windows looked to be shot “possibly with a BB-gun or pellet gun and that the glass was shattered like a spiderweb.”And this wasn’t the first time.A very similar police report was written on June 1, when police responded to the building a little after 1:20 p.m. for a report “of a person that had shot the window on the second floor of the TD Garden possibly with a BB-Gun and the glass was shattered.”In both cases, the windows were ones that faced Zakim Bridge and the only real difference is that the first time the employee described the sound a little differently.“(Redacted) sta...
