BOSTON — An unseasonable warm air mass has been setting new record high temperatures across much of the country, bringing unprecedented warmth to the city of Boston this week.
According to Dave Bowers, senior meteorologist for AccuWeather.com, the official temperature for Friday reached 73 degrees, marking not only the warmest February day on record for the city, but the only recorded time that Boston has climbed into the 70s in February as well. Thursday matched the old record of 68 degrees, which was originally set on February 26, 1957.
BOSTON — President Donald Trump's revocation of a set of public accommodations "guidelines" for how to treat transgender public school students enacted by former president Barack Obama's administration prompted howls of criticism this week, especially from Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey.
Healey on Thursday organized a press conference, centered on a 7-year-old transgender boy from Melrose, and proceeded to rip into the Trump administration's decision to leave the transgender public school bathroom and changing room policy matters up to the states.
