Quincy, Massachusetts officials used fake parking tickets on vehicles during a winter storm to warn drivers about snow emergency rules and discourage street parking on key routes. The tickets carried no fines and served as visual notices to move cars for plowing and emergency access. The city coordinated the effort through police and public works as part of its winter operations plan and monitored driver response to the warnings while considering possible future enforcement actions, including real citations and towing, if noncompliance persisted on restricted streets.

An appeals court has found probable cause for potential charges against prominent figures, including Don Lemon, but has opted not to issue arrest warrants.

A massive winter storm is moving across the United States, threatening more than half the country with snow, sleet, ice, dangerous cold and possible power outages. Forecasters warn of heavy snowfall in the Plains, Midwest and Northeast, ice accumulation across a broad region, and an arctic air mass bringing life-threatening wind chills. Utilities, transportation agencies, schools and emergency officials are preparing for hazardous travel, service disruptions and extended cold as the multi-day system tracks eastward. Residents are urged to follow official forecasts and safety guidance.

A powerful winter storm triggered thousands of flight cancellations across the United States, disrupting air travel at major airports and regional hubs. Airlines halted or delayed departures as snow, ice, and strong winds created hazardous conditions for aircraft and ground operations. The Federal Aviation Administration issued weather advisories, and carriers announced travel waivers and urged passengers to monitor flight status closely. Airport crews focused on deicing, runway clearing, and safety checks while travelers faced long waits, rebookings, and limited ground transportation options as the storm moved across multiple regions.
