Today's cold front is delivering some fall reinforcements.

Two of the costliest hurricanes ever, Ike and Sandy, are not considered "major."

The orange and yellow trees were already stunning, then a half foot of snow fell on the mountains.

As much as 9 inches of snow fell in the mountains of New England.

Sunshine rules early this week, but showers enter the realm of possibility later on.

Some nice sleeping weather tonight. Warm but windy for Monday.
