    South Bend set a new snowfall record for the date on Friday, with six inches of new snow just that day. We got more on Saturday and Sunday, including a squall that almost obscured the field during the third quarter of the Notre Dame-Boston College football game. It'll all be melting away over the next several days, with sunny skies and highs in the 40s forecast today through Thanksgiving.


    A mass shooting at a gay and transgender nightclub in Colorado Saturday night could have happened anywhere, according to some of the people in South Bend who gathered Sunday for a Transgender Day of Remembrance, to honor those victimized by violence because of their LGBTQ+ preferences. A shooter killed five and wounded dozens at a Colorado Springs club Saturday night, before he was disarmed by patrons at the club. He remains hospitalized, and his motives unclear this morning.


    The World Cup is underway in Qatar, with the US team's first game on tap this afternoon our time against Wales. There were chants of "We want beer!" in the stands during last night's opener between Ecuador and and Qatar, after the government announced it would not sell beer in the stadium.

    Look for slick, snowy conditions this morning as you head for work or school. Temperatures in the 20s overnight are allowing new snowfall to stick around, unlike the previous few days. You will need extra time to get where you're going this morning.


    Even with close to a foot of snow in some of our Michigan counties, our first significant snow of the season is looking pretty mild compared to what's coming over the next 24-to-48 hours in western New York. A major lake effect snow event is expected to bury the Buffalo area in 2-to-4 FEET of snow today and tomorrow, so much snow that Sunday's Buffalo Bills home game against the Cleveland Browns has been moved to Detroit. A state of emergency is also in effect for eleven counties in upstate New York.


    As Republicans take over the House of Representatives in Washington next year, long-time Speaker and Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi is stepping down from her leadership role. Pelosi will continue to represent her San Francisco district for at least one more term. New York Congressman Hakim Jeffries is considered the front runner to replace her.


    College football this weekend includes Notre Dame's final home game of the season tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 against Boston College on Sunny 101-point-5. Also tomorrow, Purdue hosts Northwestern, Indiana is at Michigan State, and Michigan hosts Illinois.


    Thursday night NFL: the Tennessee Titans beat the Packers in Green Bay, 27-17. This Sunday, the Chicago Bears are at Atlanta, 1 o'clock on Z 94-3. The Indianapolis Colts are at home against Philadelphia at one on 96-1 the Ton. The Detroit Lions are at the New York Giants, aslo at one o'clock.

    Most roads across Michiana remain slushy, but passable this morning, despite steady lake effect snow. The exception is under some of the heavier bands of snow in central Berrien and Cass Counties, where snow continues to build up. It's a slow morning on the roads, but if you're careful, you can get where you need to go.


    It's been clear it would happen for some time, but now it's official: Republicans will have a majority in the House of Representatives next year. The GOP is now projected to win more than 218 seats in the 435 member house, with the power to block any parts of President Biden's agenda they choose to. Democrats will still control the Senate, allowing them to continue confirming judges and other Biden appointees.


    The Tennessee Attorney General is opening an antitrust investigation into Ticketmaster. The investigation launched after thousands of customers reported issues with the site while trying to buy seats for Taylor Swift's upcoming world tour. Some who did get tickets are offering them for resale for as much as 35 thousand dollars each. The AG in Tennessee says he wants to be sure consumer protection and anti-trust laws are being honored.


    Notre Dame basketball posted two wins Wednesday night. The men downed Southern Indiana at Purcell Pavilion 82-to-70, and the 9th ranked women dominated at Northwestern 92-to-58. 20th ranked Michigan downed Pitt 91-60.


    NBA: the Chicago Bulls lost at New Orleans, 124-110. The Indiana Pacers won at home, 125-113 over Charlotte. The Detroit Pistons are in LA against the Clippers late tonight.


    Hockey: St. Louis beat the Blackhawks in Chicago, 5-to-2. The Detroit Redwings are at San Jose late tonight.


    The Thursday night NFL game this week is Tennessee at Green Bay, at 8:15 tonight.

    A winter weather warning is out for lake effect snow now through about ten a-m Thursday. You could get a little or a lot depending on how the snow bands set up. Expect a messy commute this morning.


    South Bend Mayor James Mueller's term is up next fall, and he announced Tuesday he will run for reelection. Mueller took office in January of 20-20, succeeding two-term Mayor Pete Buttigieg, now Secretary of Transportation in the Biden administration. Most experts say Mueller's chances are good, but Republicans have made local gains recently and could put up a good fight this time around.


    Also back in the political ring: former President Donald Trump, who announced last night he is a candidate for the Republican nomination in 20-24. He will likely have opposition, possibly from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, perhaps others as well.


    NASA launched its Artemis One rocket overnight, a first step toward returning men to the moon, and eventually to Mars. The uncrewed mission will orbit the moon and return, and if all goes well, Artemis Two will take people back to the lunar surface in the not-too-distant future.


    In hockey, Anaheim edged the Detroit Redwings in overtime, 3-to-2 in California. In Chicago, the Blackhawks host the St. Louis Blues tonight.


    College basketball: Michigan State downed 4th ranked Kentucky in Indianapolis, 86-77 in double overtime. 6th ranked Kansas beat 7th ranked Duke, 69-64. Tonight the Notre Dame men and women are both in action: the men host Southern Indiana at 8 in Purcell Pavilion; the women are at Northwestern.
