There’s a good chance Colorado drivers traveling for Christmas will encounter slick roads this weekend, with snow forecasts ranging from a few inches along the Front Range to more than 18 inches in the southern mountains, according to the National Weather Service.Colorado Department of Transportation road crews are expecting traffic levels similar to a normal winter weekend, said spokesperson Jared Fiel, and are planning to be out on the roads through Sunday.“It’s looking like it’s going to be hitting the southern mountains a little bit more, and up around here it’s looking like a relatively normal winter storm – but we haven’t had a lot of those this year, so we will take whatever snow they can give us,” Fiel said.There’s typically very little traffic on Christmas Day, Fiel said, and CDOT staggers crew schedules so that everyone has time at home with their family on the holiday.A traffic forecast from the Interstate 70 Coalition advises drivers to expect congestion on westbound I-7...

Can California really keep Trump off the ballot?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:11:52 GMT

Back in September, Assemblyman Evan Low of San Jose and eight other state lawmakers asked the Attorney General to determine whether the U.S. Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment bars former President Donald Trump from the ballot for having “engaged in insurrection.”It seemed nothing might ever come of it, as months went by with no word back and the clock ticking toward the state’s March 5 primary.Now this week’s bombshell ruling from Colorado’s highest court, barring Trump from the ballot in the Rocky Mountain State, has renewed the possibility in other states, including California. At least three lawsuits to keep Trump off the ballot are pending in the Golden State, along with calls from California’s Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis this week for the Secretary of State to “explore every legal option” to remove the former president and earlier requests from Low and his fellow state lawmakers.“Our goal was to get this to the courts ...

Woman sought in death of 2-month-old son had been wanted on bench warrant

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:11:52 GMT

When San Jose detectives were called to a South Bay hospital in early April to investigate the death of a 2-month-old boy, they faced an uncomfortable twist.The child’s mother, Yuqi Yan, had an active warrant for her arrest after she allegedly skipped out on a felony court date a couple months earlier. And confronted with the prospect of jailing her that evening, the detectives decided to let her remain free.Now, San Jose police are seeking Yan on a new warrant filed this week — one accusing the woman of murdering her infant son, Charles Zheng. It follows a determination by Santa Clara’s medical examiner on Dec. 8 that the boy’s death was a homicide, citing how the child endured “repeated abuse and neglect” and died of the “combined effects of blunt force injuries of head, severe malnourishment and dehydration.”The search for Yan, 29, comes amid rampant speculation on Chinese social media accounts in recent months about whether the wom...

Cowboys and Dolphins each seek to cement contender status with win on Sunday

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:11:52 GMT

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — At various times this season, the Miami Dolphins and the Dallas Cowboys have looked like contenders or pretenders.Both teams are 10-4, have offenses and defense ranked near the top of the league, and have taken care of lesser competition — sometimes winning by eye-popping margins.But both have struggled against the best teams in the league.Three of Miami’s four losses have come against teams with winning records, while all 10 of its wins have come against teams that entered at .500 or worse. The Cowboys’ only win against a team that currently has a winning record came two weeks ago in a 33-13 blowout of the ebbing Philadelphia Eagles.Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he told his players to not think about playoff seeding — Miami currently holds the No. 2 spot in the AFC and can clinch a playoff berth with a win Sunday — or the “narrative” that they can’t beat good teams.“Anything other than to concern yourself with the next opponent, which for ...
