More snow chances appear low heading into the new year, but there's a good chance we'll see some again in January or February. When snow arrives, almost everyone makes the decision of whether to stay home or venture out.

KCAL via CNNLOS ANGELES — For the past three years, one Hollywood resident has rallied thousands of people to join his petition to remove one of the most controversial red and gold stars along the Walk of Fame — former President Donald Trump’s.“What city in America should be honoring anyone who attempted a coup against the United States,” activist Andrew Rudick said. “It’s as simple as that, and if you think it deserves honor, you should be able to defend every statement that this man has made.”Rudick has garnered more than 4,200 signatures since starting the petition aimed at removing Trump’s name from Hollywood Boulevard in 2020.
