First snow of season could soon fall in some Northeast cities
The holiday season evokes images of dashing through the snow for many in the Northeast, but it’s been a relatively snow-free season thus far. That could change this weekend with a fast-moving system that is expected to bring accumulating snow to the region.

Mauna Loa lava has slowed to a crawl
Mauna Loa, the world’s largest active volcano located on the Big Island of Hawaii, has been erupting for nearly two weeks. Since then, officials have been watching lava headed for a main highway that connects Hilo to Kona. Good news came Thursday with officials saying the river of molten rock has slowed to a crawl.

Monarch butterfly population hits 20-year high in early count
Preliminary data from an annual count of monarch butterflies shows the population of the orange-and-black insects has hit a 20-year high. The group responsible for the count tempered the good news, noting that monarch numbers now are just 5% of what they were in the 1980s.
Monarch butterflies are seen in one of their wintering grounds in Angangueo, Michoacan State, Mexico.
