...least as of now, the weather forecasts for Denver and Boston are not disastrous. "Our long-term models project higher-than-average temperatures, and lower-than-normal chance of precipitation," says Kyle Fredin, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service's Denver-Boulder office, of the games that would be played at Coors Field October 27-29. But remember, we're talking about the weather here. "In Denver, it's game on," says Fredin, recalling the blizzard of 1997 that fell before Halloween. "Anything goes here." In fact it snowed over the weekend in Denver, forcing the Rockies to practice...
...Baseball fans, however, could gain one from the nippy weather.

We had plenty of time and he still had plenty of charm. We discussed his first round of treatment, which had been some pills and physical therapy. They hadn't worked that well but Johnny was OK with that. He made reference to some famous football stories, and I, clueless though I was, chuckled along knowingly. That got us onto the topic of other...
...cold before going to bed. “I had to type my paper with gloves on,” she said of the temperature in her dorm room. Mak is one of many undergraduates who in recent weeks experienced extremely cold temperatures in their rooms as the fall weather set in—sparking complaints over House e-mail lists as students have put the heat on House managers to quickly raise temperatures. But according to Anthony J. Pacillo, manager of freshman dorms, heat in all of the freshman dorms and upperclass Houses was turned on as of earlier...
