York County Weather: Mild Week Ahead with Arctic Chill for Christmas Weekend

This Christmas season, York County residents may anticipate a weather rollercoaster, with pleasant temperatures giving way to a chilly Arctic blast just in time for the holiday. Compared to previous cold spells, this week's temperatures will feel rather mild. But as Arctic air moves into the area on Saturday and Sunday, there will likely be a big decrease, with lows in the low 20s by Monday. With this, cold weather akin to recent cold outbreaks will return. Since there is no snow predicted for the foreseeable future, a white Christmas is regrettably not in the cards this year. The week between Christmas and New Year's is predicted to have mild or even above-normal temperatures due to a quick warm-up after the holiday chill. Additionally, a warmer-than-normal New Year's Day is anticipated, ...

New arrest warrant amplifies Florida’s fight with feds over second Trump assassination attempt

On Wednesday, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody declared that the state has secured an arrest warrant for Ryan Routh, who is currently detained in federal prison on suspicion of trying to kill Donald Trump, for attempted felony murder. It's part of an ongoing back and forth between Florida Republican leaders and the Biden administration on the state's investigation of the September assassination attempt, the second attempt on Trump's life in three months. The trial date for Routh is scheduled for February. Florida officials claim that despite Routh's five federal allegations, which include trying to kill a presidential candidate, the federal government has prevented the state from conducting its own investigation or cooperating with the federal one. Following Moody's revelation at a mo...

U.S. reports first severe human case of bird flu, in a patient hospitalized in Louisiana

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that a person in Louisiana was hospitalized with avian flu, the nation's first serious human H5N1 illness. This would be the first time a backyard flock has been linked to a bird flu infection in a U.S. citizen, the government said, adding that the individual was most likely exposed to the virus from the flock. During a briefing on Wednesday, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, stated that although an investigation is still underway to determine the origin of this infection in Louisiana, it is thought that the patient who was reported by Louisiana had contact with sick or dead birds on their property. Louisiana reported the case as a suspected positive on Friday, and CDC lab...

After four years, Formula 1 driver Sergio Prez is officially departing Red Bull Racing. The Mexican driver and the team announced on Wednesday that they had come to an agreement to split ways before his contract expires.

Disney removes transgender storyline from upcoming Pixar streaming series

Disney announced on Tuesday that it had removed a transgender plot point from Win or Lose, an eight-episode Pixar streaming series that premieres in February.

According to the corporation, references to the transgender character's gender identity have been eliminated, but the character will still appear in the program. Near the end of the season, there is a change that only affects a few lines of dialogue. Each episode of Win or Lose focuses on a different character's point of view and follows a coed middle school softball team as they prepare for a major game....

United pilot warmly embraces his bone marrow donor after crossing paths with her on flight

Normally, passengers reserve their cheers for the moment the plane touches down, but on a United trip on Saturday, they started clapping before the jet had even taken off. The reason for this is that just before takeoff, United pilot Captain David Whitson boarded Flight 2223 from Houston to Newark to welcome a brave passenger who also happened to be his bone marrow donor. Whitson is seen hugging passenger Alexandria Reimold, whom he later identifies as his bone marrow donor, as he moves around the cabin in a video captured by another traveler. To "say 'hello'" before Reimold's flight took off and "share their remarkable story with other travelers over the plane's PA system," he rushed to her gate after operating a different flight that touched down in Houston, according to a United Airline...
