Kendall Jenner’s Bold Floral Style in the Mountains

Kendall Jenner is redefining winter style with a refreshing burst of color and creativity. While most retreat to the mountains in muted knits and dark palettes, the supermodel is proving that bold florals and eye-catching graphics can feel right at home against a snowy backdrop.

During a recent getaway to her secluded mountain retreat, Kendall stepped out in a series of looks that merged high-fashion flair with cozy cabin charm. Oversized floral sweaters, graphic-print jackets, and vibrant layered pieces stood out against the serene, wintry setting—offering a playful contrast that instantly drew admiration from fans and fashion watchers alike.

In a way, this singular piece—in Jenner’s first ground-up build, designed with Bay Area architect Kirby Lee—represents everything Jenner wanted out of her “getaway home.” Jenner was craving a rural escape to spend homey summer weekends with friends that felt well-loved and lived in, as if had been there for a while.

“I had a vision. It was a house full of people squeezed onto a couch for game night,” she says. “On one of my first trips there, it happened. I had friends who were staying nearby who came over kind of spontaneously. It made me damn near emotional. I had this dream, and it happened in a home that I built. It was very fulfilling.”

Jenner fell in love with the “energy” of the area during a visit and bought the property on a whim, around five years ago. A self-described “horse girl,” she spent childhood summers in Wyoming, and lives for active days outdoors. At the time, there was a neglected home on-site that she considered restoring. After a walk-through with a builder, it was determined un­salvageable, and the hunt for a design team began. “When doing any home, I love making things collaborative, and my choice in designer is extremely intentional,” she says. “I know that I’m going to be highly involved and extremely picky.”

Her approach blends comfort with artistry: slouchy silhouettes paired with structured outerwear, chunky boots balanced with feminine patterns, and color pops that brighten the muted tones of the mountains. It’s a style narrative that feels both spontaneous and curated—uniquely Kendall.

The retreat itself, nestled among towering pines and sweeping mountain views, provides the perfect canvas. Whether lounging by a stone fireplace or exploring snow-dusted trails, her bold wardrobe choices infuse the quiet backdrop with personality and energy.

Kendall’s mountain looks signal a shift toward expressive winter dressing. Instead of leaning into predictable neutrals, she invites fashion lovers to experiment with statement pieces even in the coziest moments. Her retreat style makes a case for embracing prints year-round—and for finding beauty in contrasts.

With each new appearance, Kendall continues to inspire, reminding us that fashion doesn’t have to hibernate for winter. Sometimes, all it takes is a fearless floral or a striking graphic to bring warmth to the coldest days.

Snow on Christmas in Georgia? Latest Weather Predictions

Dec. 5, 2025, 4:03 a.m. ET

As the holiday season approaches, many in Georgia are eagerly anticipating a white Christmas. But what does the forecast actually say about the chances of snow this year? Here’s what you need to know to plan your festive activities.

Current Weather Outlook

According to the latest weather reports, Georgia is expected to experience typical winter temperatures in December. Daytime highs will generally range from the mid-40s to low 50s (°F), while nighttime lows could drop into the 30s. These temperatures make widespread snow unlikely in most parts of the state, but isolated flurries, especially in northern Georgia, remain possible.

If you’ve been hoping for a white Christmas in Georgia, the latest long-range outlook suggests the state won’t be joining the snowy scenes expected in parts of the country.

According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, the Southeast is expected to see milder, sunnier weather that makes for smoother travel and comfortable outdoor plans.

Here’s what we know.

Christmas weather around Georgia

The Almanac’s regional winter preview labels the Southeast’s Christmas period as “milder” with “sunny” conditions.

That means Georgia is unlikely to see accumulating snow, especially compared to states farther north and west where holiday storms are more common.

According to The Weather Channel’s monthly outlook, the chances of snow align with the Almanac’s predictions: Not much of a chance.

Here are the predicted highs and lows for Christmas:

  • Athens: high 55, low 35
  • Savannah: high 62, low 41
  • Augusta: high 60, low 36
  • Macon: high 60, low 37
  • Blue Ridge: high 51, low 27

Northern Georgia: Higher Snow Chances

The mountainous regions in northern Georgia, including towns like Dahlonega, Blue Ridge, and Helen, have the best chances for snowfall. Cooler temperatures and higher elevations increase the likelihood of snow accumulation, making these areas the perfect destination for those hoping for a festive winter wonderland.

Central and Southern Georgia: Mostly Rain

In central and southern Georgia, the forecast predicts mostly rainy or cloudy conditions rather than snow. Cities such as Atlanta, Macon, and Savannah are more likely to see showers or overcast skies during the holiday season, with snow remaining a rare occurrence.

Will the US see snow this Christmas?

Across large parts of the country, especially the Northeast, Upper Midwest, Lower Lakes region, and Alaska, snow and cold weather are expected this Christmas.

Meanwhile, many Southern and Southeastern areas are forecast to have mild weather with sunshine or light rain, making snow unlikely there.

Conclusion

While a white Christmas in Georgia is not guaranteed, northern regions have the highest chances for a dusting of snow. Central and southern areas will likely experience rain and chilly temperatures. Whether snow falls or not, the holiday season in Georgia promises plenty of festive cheer.

Dreamers Face New Risks Under Immigration Changes

The Lives of Dreamers Under Proposed Immigration Changes

The landscape of immigration in the United States is continuously evolving, and the lives of young immigrants, often referred to as “Dreamers,” remain central to these discussions. Dreamers are individuals who were brought to the U.S. as children and may have benefited from the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

Understanding DACA and Its Implications

Introduced in 2012, DACA allows qualifying individuals to apply for a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation. While it has provided temporary relief for hundreds of thousands of young immigrants, recent proposals threatening to change or eliminate the program have left many in uncertainty.

The Reality of Life for Dreamers

Most Dreamers have grown up in the U.S., speak English fluently, and consider the country their home. They contribute to the workforce, attend school, and actively participate in their communities. However, the uncertainty surrounding their legal status continues to weigh heavily on their futures.

Proposed Changes and Their Effects

Proposed changes to immigration policies could have profound impacts on Dreamers. Potential outcomes may range from enhanced pathways to citizenship to harsher enforcement measures and increased deportations. Each scenario carries significant emotional and logistical implications.

The Voices of Dreamers

A deep dive into the lives of Dreamers reveals dreams of education and career aspirations often hanging in the balance. For many, these immigration changes evoke fear and anxiety about the future. Recently, Dreamers have taken to advocacy, sharing their stories to humanize the legislative discussions around immigration.

Community Support and Activism

Many organizations and community members have rallied to support Dreamers, offering legal assistance, educational resources, and advocacy campaigns aimed at protecting immigrant rights. This grassroots movement emphasizes the importance of unity in the face of uncertainty.

Conclusion

The conversation surrounding Dreamers and immigration policy is far from over. As proposed changes loom, it is essential to consider the human element in these discussions. Dreamers represent the resilience, hopes, and aspirations of countless families throughout the nation, and thus merit a compassionate and inclusive approach as policymakers navigate this complex issue.

Winter Storm Warning With 17 Inches of Snow Coming

Up to 17 inches of snow is set to hit several states across the U.S. from Tuesday through to Thursday, prompting the National Weather Service (NWS) to issue multiple winter storm warnings and advise travelers to “drive with extreme caution” or even consider delaying all travel.

Why It Matters 

Winter storms often bring heavy snowfall, ice accumulations, and high winds, which can reduce visibility and make roads slippery—sometimes impassable—creating difficult and dangerous travel conditions, especially during busy travel periods such as the morning and evening commutes.

What To Know

NWS winter storm warnings are in place for many areas across the United States. The worst-affected states include Maine, New Hampshire, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Alaska, and New Mexico.   
Maine and  New Hampshire
Parts of south central, southwest, and western Maine, and central, northern, and southern New Hampshire could get between 6 and 9 inches of snow by early Wednesday morning.

Colorado

The Sangre de Cristo Mountains in Colorado should brace themselves for up to 17 inches of snow from Wednesday morning until Thursday morning, making travel “very difficult to impossible.”

Larimer County, particularly Fort Collins, could get between 2 and 4 inches until Wednesday afternoon, and Boulder and Denver metro areas, Castle Rock, and the Palmer Divide up to 6 inches, with 8 inches of snow expected at the base of the foothills, until Wednesday evening.

The southern Front Range Foothills could get anywhere between 5 and 11 inches of snow by Wednesday night, the northern Front Range Foothills up to 8 inches, and South Park up to 6 inches.

In southern Colorado, the Wet Mountains, Wet Mountain Valley, Walsenburg Vicinity, the Upper Huerfano River Basin (below 7,500 feet), Trinidad Vicinity, and western Las Animas County (below 7,500 feet) could see up to 10 inches from Wednesday morning until Thursday.

The La Garita Mountains (above 10,000 feet), the eastern San Juan Mountains (above 10,000 ft), the Upper Rio Grande Valley, and the eastern San Juan Mountains (below 10,000 feet) in south-central Colorado could get between 3 and 9 inches of snow by Thursday morning.

Parts of Fremont County could see between 3 and 9 inches by Wednesday night, and the San Luis Valley could get up to 5 inches, also by Thursday morning.

Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota

Areas in Montana and Wyoming—particularly the northern and northeastern Bighorn Mountains—could see up to 3 inches of accumulated snow until Wednesday morning, coupled with 35 mph winds, which may cause blowing snow, reducing visibility.

In Montana, specifically, snow accumulations between 2 and 4 inches are expected for most mountain passes, but 5 to 8 inches might fall over Kings Hill Pass until Wednesday morning—the NWS for Montana has warned that travel could be difficult, especially over Highway 14 through Burgess Junction.

The Wyoming Black Hills and South Dakota northern Black Hills could see up to 5 inches of snow by Wednesday morning.

Alaska

Eastern Norton Sound and the Nulato Hills, south of Shaktoolik, in Alaska, can expect up to 2 inches of snow, and the Middle Yukon Valley up to 4 inches, with both areas likely to get 40 mph wind gusts until Wednesday afternoon.

The eastern Alaska Range—south of Trims Camp—and the southern Denali Borough could get up to 5 inches of snow and 45 mph winds until Wednesday, and the summits across the Dalton Highway, the Yukon Uplands, White Mountains, south of the Yukon River, and the Yukon Flats could get up to 4 inches.

New Mexico

In New Mexico, mountain ranges and passes, including the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Tusas Mountains (including Chama), the Glorieta Mesa (including the Glorieta pass), Upper Rio Grande Valley, Johnson and Bartlett Mesas (including Raton pass), and the northeast Highlands could get up to 8 inches, above 7,500 feet—with up to 10 inches expected on the highest peaks across the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, by Thursday morning.

What People Are Saying 

The NWS for Maine issued the following advice for those in affected areas: Persons should delay all travel if possible. If travel is absolutely necessary, drive with extreme caution and be prepared for sudden changes in visibility. Leave plenty of room between you and the motorist ahead of you, and allow extra time to reach your destination. Avoid sudden braking or acceleration, and be especially cautious on hills or when making turns. Make sure your car is winterized and in good working order.

It also warned travelers: “A snowstorm will bring plowable snow to the region with a period of moderate travel impacts expected. Periods of moderate snow and low visibility will be the biggest hazards. Periods of moderate and heavy snow will combine with low visibility to create dangerous driving conditions. Hazardous road conditions could linger into the Wednesday morning commute even after snow has ended.”

What Happens Next 

Residents and travelers in affected areas are advised to closely monitor local weather forecasts for the latest updates on the winter storm conditions.

Metroid Prime 4: A Flawed Yet Polished Adventure

Metroid Prime 4 stumbled multiple times before being completely scrapped and restarted over the decade it took to make. Although it found its way back to Retro Studios, the team behind the original trilogy, the scars of this protracted and troubled development are clear.

Despite beautiful art direction, graphics, and sound design, Metroid Prime 4 is a baffling game to play. It focuses too much on action instead of puzzle solving and exploration. It has annoying side characters who won’t leave you alone. Its desolate overworld lacks personality.

The result is a game that feels antithetical to the carefully curated mood that makes this series work: and one of the weaker Metroid games in recent years.

All of this is frustrating because Metroid Prime 4 is a technical marvel. I played primarily on the Nintendo Switch 2’s handheld mode. I toggled between two graphical modes: a higher resolution option that runs at 60 FPS, and a 120 FPS option that runs at 720p. Colors pop, light dances off surfaces, particles drift, and choir vocals layer on top of ambient soundscapes. What Nintendo has done here is a model that the rest of the industry needs to take note of. Great art and music should take priority over unnecessarily taxing graphical “innovations.”

But this is a game, not just a thing to bat your eyes at. It begins in an aggressively linear fashion, throwing waves of enemies at you. In one of the first major areas — just as you’ll gain some freedom — the game requires you to complete a 20-minute tutorial on how to use Samus’ motorcycle (called Vi-O-La, of all things). When the game finally opens up, its desert hub world adds half-baked lore, but makes it even more annoying to revisit past areas. This choice actually makes the game feel less connected and expansive than prior entries.

Much ink has already been spilled about Myles Mackenzie — the Galactic Federation engineer who talks in endless Joss Whedon-esque quips. To my surprise, it’s far worse than reported. He’s just the beginning. There are all kinds of Myles Mackenzies in Metroid Prime 4, and they’re all annoying in distinct ways.

The one thing these sidekicks all have in common is an agape expression of awe and bewilderment at meeting Samus, regardless of what degree they’re in a life-threatening situation. “Is that a NEW SUIT?” exclaims one companion. “THE famous bounty hunter Samus Aran?” says another. It’s cringe-inducing the first time, and exasperating by the third or fourth.

Metroid Prime 4 eventually falls into familiar territory in its middle section. At its best moments, it ends up scratching a fan’s nostalgia. It’s got some cool combat sequences, a-ha puzzle moments, and — of course — the simple joys of revisiting past areas to seek out energy and missile tanks.

But Nintendo games rarely feel this directionless and scattered, and for its tedious opening hours alone, this game is hard to recommend. Metroid fans, venture forth carefully.

Everyone else? Probably best to stay away.

New Jersey Declares Emergency Ahead of Winter Storm

Tens of millions of Americans are under alert for wintry weather, as a new cross-country system is expected to bring the first major winter storm of the season to parts of the East Coast.

After dumping snow on parts of the central U.S. on Monday, the storm is expected to bring accumulating snow and icy conditions into New England, where winter storm warnings are in effect across the region, from Albany, New York, to Portland, Maine.

Much of New England and the Mid-Atlantic “will experience enhanced winter precipitation and possible gusty winds, especially inland from the coast, bringing the first impactful winter storm of the season,” the National Weather Service said.

Ahead of the wintry weather, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency effective at 5 a.m. ET on Tuesday for several counties in the northwestern part of the state “due to a potentially significant winter storm causing hazardous weather conditions, including heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain.”

The state’s Department of Transportation will be activating crews overnight to address the winter weather, the governor’s office said, while urging drivers to “exercise caution” on Tuesday.

Storm preparations underway in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, Dec. 1, 2025.

WTAE

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul also advised residents in parts of upstate New York to prepare for the first major snowfall for much of the state.

“State agencies stand ready to assist New Yorkers throughout the storm and our plow crews will be out keeping our roadways safe, but we encourage everyone to be weather aware and closely monitor the forecast,” she said in a statement.

The NWS said the “threat for significant snow accumulations across the interior is rising, with more than 6 inches possible north and west of the I-95 corridor.”

A general 2 to 5 inches of snow is expected across the Midwest on Monday night. Overnight, a swath of 3 to 6 inches of snow is expected across the Ohio Valley.

By Tuesday morning, heavy snow is expected to stretch from Pittsburgh to Cleveland up into western and upstate New York. Pittsburgh is under a winter weather advisory for 2 to 5 inches of snow.

By Tuesday evening, heavy snow is forecast to continue in New England. Locally, 6 to 12 inches of snow is possible through early Wednesday morning.

The storm system is also expected to bring heavy rain through Washington, D.C., to Philadelphia and New York City, to Boston through Tuesday afternoon.

The storm system is expected to move off the coast late Tuesday night.

The new winter storm comes after another system brought significant snow to parts of the Midwest over the weekend, disrupting holiday travel.

Urgent Search for Missing 71-Year-Old Doctor

Dr. Cletus Iwuagwu was last seen around 2 a.m. on Tuesday in the Stone Oak area in Springfield Township.

HOLLAND, Ohio — Loved ones and community members spent Sunday searching for a 71-year-old doctor who has been missing since Tuesday.

Dr. Cletus Iwuagwu was last seen around 2:15 a.m. Tuesday in the Stone Oak area in Springfield Township. Police say he left his home on foot and never returned. He is described as 5 feet 4 inches tall and about 180 pounds.

Despite multiple searches by police using drones and K-9 teams, no trace of Iwuagwu has been found.

On Sunday, Iwuagwu’s daughters joined dozens of volunteers across the Stone Oak community to search the area where he was last spotted.

“He is a community man. He has dedicated his life to taking care of others. It’s only right that we try and find him and bring him home,” said Siti Dotson-Chambers, a community member who helped organize the search.

Dotson-Chambers said she reached out to Iwuagwu’s daughter after seeing posts online about his disappearance. A call for volunteers on Facebook brought a large turnout.

“We don’t know what direction he went in. It looked as if he didn’t leave in the car. At this point in time, we don’t have a lot of answers. We just want to find him,” she said.

Iwuagwu’s oldest daughter, Kanisha Byers-Smith, urged the public to remain alert.

“Please keep your eyes open. If you see anything, if you hear anything, please reach out to myself, any of my sisters, my husband. We are active on Facebook,” said Byers-Smith.

She added that while her father’s disappearance has been overwhelming, the community’s support has offered hope.

“Our father is active in the community. He takes care and loves his patients. He’s taken care of a whole village his entire life. So to have a village show up for him just means the world to us. We thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts,” she said.

Police ask anyone with information about Iwuagwu’s whereabouts to contact local Lucas County Sheriff’s Office at 419-213-4900.

Denver Front Range Weather – Live Updates & Forecasts

Denver braces for its first snowstorm of the season Wednesday, with up to 7 inches expected in some areas, causing potentially hazardous commutes.

DENVER — Although Denver received its first official snow on Saturday, the first proper snowstorm will impact the Mile High City and Front Range this week.

Front Range residents should prepare for a messy Wednesday morning commute as the metro area’s first substantial snow of the season is expected to arrive late Tuesday into Wednesday.

The 9NEWS Weather Impact Team has issued a Weather Impact Alert on Wednesday morning as a sharp cold front moving through the region will bring a few inches of accumulation, creating hazardous driving conditions during rush hour.

There’s a Winter Weather Advisory for the Denver metro area and surrounding areas starting midnight Wednesday and lasting through Wednesday evening.

“We’re likely looking at maybe a few inches of snow and a very messy Wednesday morning commute,” said 9NEWS Weather Impact Team meteorologist Chris Bianchi. “That is going to be the big takeaway from this next storm system.”

The 9NEWS Weather Impact Team said the system, driven by northerly upslope flow, will impact areas unevenly across the metro. Western and southern portions of the metro area could see totals exceeding 3 inches, making Wednesday morning’s drive particularly treacherous for commuters in those areas.

The south side of Denver is forecast to receive the highest totals, with Douglas and Arapahoe counties potentially seeing up to 7 inches of snow. Central Denver should expect 2-7 inches, while northern and eastern areas, including Fort Collins, Greeley, and the Eastern Plains, will likely see just an inch or so.
