Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:38:21 GMT

ST. LOUIS -- Light snow continues this Friday morning. Thanks to temperatures that have been at or above freezing, this snow continues to have a minimal impact as roads remain wet and white.Overnight, we’ve seen a bit more in the way of accumulations on grass to the northwest and west of metro St. Louis. A slightly more robust round of snow is dropping south at 3 a.m. and may bring some minor accumulations early this morning, again on grass, cars, or elevated surfaces. On Friday, snow will taper off to flurries for the afternoon, ending from north to south. The skies will stay cloudy. Temperatures will hold nearly steady in the 30s. Tonight, clouds will linger until daybreak. Overnight temperatures only fall to around 30.  More clearing into Saturday, partly cloudy and low 40s for highs. We’ll round out 2023 on Sunday with partly cloudy and slightly colder temperatures and highs in the upper 30s. New Year’s Day looks sunny and  cold.

Lauren Boebert, having been chased out of Congressional District 3 by Adam Frisch, is desperate to keep her job in “the swamp.” To do this she has decided to run for the reddist Colorado congressional district, the 4th, when Ken Buck’s retirement creates an open seat.The question is whether the Republican voters of District 4 will be interested in being represented in Washington by a self-promoting, grandstanding, crotch-grabbing person who does not believe that the rules apply to them.
