He booted a cold vulnerable game.”“Proceed,” the judge instructed, and the court heard the evidence.“Against 3NT,” the DA began, “West led a diamond, and East took the ace and returned the queen. South won and took his three high clubs; West threw a heart, East a spade. South next led the king of hearts, and West won and led a third diamond. South then took the Q-J of hearts and exited with his last heart, but when East won and led a spade, declarer took only eight tricks.”UNLUCKY“My client was unlucky,” South’s counsel bellowed. “If East had held the king of spades, the fourth heart end-plays him.”Would you convict South of a misplay?“Guilty,” the judge ruled. “After South unblocks his high clubs, he must lead the queen of spades. If West won, dummy’s jack would be an entry to the...

Snow, Rain & Wind On The Way

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:38:36 GMT

Winter’s chill is upon us this morning as temps kick off the day in the teens and 20s. With a heavy frost on the ground, and a nice sunrise in the sky, it’s a quiet start to the day overall as we stay dry during the daylight hours. Temps warm into the lower 40s this afternoon under light winds and increasing clouds. The clouds that increase will foreshadow the incoming storm system that’ll deliver a dose of interior snow, rain and wind across much of New England. By 9-10pm this evening some flakes start to fly across the higher terrain of Worcester County with rain drops starting after 10pm across eastern Mass. That’ll allow for a lot of dry hours today, into early this evening for those that are traveling. Rain and snow pick up overnight with snow flipping to rain inland by 2am. 1000′ up in elevation has the best chance for 1-3″ across central and northern Worcester County. Even there, tomorrow morning looks wet and not white as any overnight sl...
