Baltimore, MD - Jan. 8, 2025 - Don't put away those snow shovels just yet. Mother Nature may have another round of snow heading toward Maryland this weekend. That will be accompanied by more bitter cold, with lows plunging into the teens three of the next five nights.
A winter storm threat may materialize late Friday night into early Saturday, the National Weather Service said.
A developing ice storm will target southern states by the end of the week before turning toward the mid-Atlantic and possibly New England this weekend, AccuWeather said. There's a potential for 1 to 3 inches of snow.
AccuWeather said the storm could quickly head east into the ocean, leaving Central Maryland with less snow and the lower Eastern Shore with more.

Baltimore, MD - Jan. 8, 2025 - Yesterday, Mayor Brandon M. Scott was joined by Governor Moore, City leaders, community partners, and residents to mark the historic violence reductions Baltimore saw last year and share the City’s public safety priorities for 2025.
Baltimore has experienced two back-to-back years of significant homicide reductions; both of the largest single-year drops in the city’s history. In 2024, the city experienced 201 homicides, a 23% decrease on top of the 20% drop in homicides Baltimore saw in 2023. Additionally, non-fatal shootings declined 34%, 414 in 2024 compared to 635 in 2023, and juvenile victims of homicides and non-fatal shootings dropped a substantial 74%.
“The reductions in violence the City of Baltimore is seeing is ...

The fires appeared to destroy scores of homes, business and other structures in three separate areas of southern California, with at least one synagogue completely destroyed by fire and other Jewish institutions under threat.
All three fires were at 0 percent containment as of early Wednesday.
In Pasadena, a blaze dubbed the Eaton Fire consumed over 1,000 acres as flames raced down Eaton Canyon toward homes and assisted living facilities, forcing thousands to race for safety, with winds expected to continue whipping up into the early morning...
Baltimore, MD – Jan 2025 - Every Shabbos table offers every Jewish family an incredible opportunity by which they can share their joy for Shabbos, for Yiddishkeit and for HaShem with their children. Unfortunately, our schedules are hectic and many people don’t have the time to prepare themselves to utilize the Shabbos table to its fullest. Therefore, we at ACHIM created TableTalk as a pre-packaged talking points pamphlet which is attractive, fun and has something for everyone. Limited copies are distributed to many shuls on a weekly basis but they are snatched up very quickly.

Baltimore, MD - Jan. 7, 2025 - Though Gov. Wes Moore has signaled an interest in allowing liquor to be sold in Maryland grocery stores, state Senate President Bill Ferguson said Monday that it isn’t at the top of his list of legislative priorities.
“This is not something that we’re going to be spending a lot of brain power trying to figure out,” Ferguson said in an interview Monday with The Baltimore Sun.
In December, Moore, a Democrat, said he would support legislation that would allow Maryland grocery stores to sell beer and wine.
“I look forward to working with our legislative partners to advance this overdue change in policy to advance consumer choice and economic competitiveness that enjoys the support of the vast majority of Marylanders across politic...

Congress on Monday certified President-elect Trump’s electoral victory, officially cementing his win over Vice President Harris ahead of his inauguration with no objections from any lawmakers as a tally of states was read on the House floor.
Trump captured the presidency with 312 electoral votes to Harris’s 226 — a total that was confirmed during the certification on Monday, marking the final step in the election process before Trump formally takes back the White House on Jan. 20.
Republicans gave a standing ovation in the chamber when Harris announced Trump’s victory was now certified. A bipartisan standing ovation broke out in the House chamber after Harris declared the joint session of Congress dissolved. The event lasted about 30 minutes before Harris gaveled ...
