Blizzard Slams Northeast with Heavy Snow, Disrupting Travel

Several cities across the Northeast received at least two feet of snow, bringing many places to a standstill.

“I hope our students enjoy their snow day today and stay warm and safe throughout, but I do have some tough news to share. School will be in-person tomorrow. You can still pelt me with snowballs when you see me.” “It’s probably about the worst I’ve seen. I mean, I was here with the last big storm. I think that was where in 2016 or something. But it wasn’t as bad as this. And the problem is, when the plows come past, they just throw up all the snow. And there’s going to be a big bank here later. So I’m digging it out now to get rid of some of this.” “I do ski patrol on the Lower East Side. I like to check the parks, and sometimes I find people fall in the snow and they can’t get up, like a elderly gentleman went out in his pajamas to get a quart of milk. So, things like that.” “And if you can cook at home, please do so instead of ordering food to be delivered given the conditions. Make an enormous pot of soup and bring some to your neighbors upstairs.”

Transgender Athletes Barred From Women’s Olympic Events

The International Olympic Committee announced a ban on transgender athletes competing in women’s events. The rule, which will go into effect during the 2028 Olympics, will require athletes to undergo genetic testing.

The scientific evidence is very clear. Male chromosomes give performance advantages in sports that rely on strength, power or endurance. At the Olympic Games, even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory and defeat. So it’s absolutely clear that it would not be fair for biological males to compete in the female category. In addition, in some sports, it would simply not be safe. Every athlete must be treated with dignity and respect, and athletes will only need to be screened once in their lifetime. The I.O.C. recognizes the importance of widespread participation in grassroots and recreational sports programs, and the impact that sport has in society. However, the Olympic Games has a focus on elite sport, and in elite sport we must ensure the fairness, safety and integrity of all competitions within the Games.
