Last Saturday we had an arctic blast coming from the north. Temperatures dropped, with a low of 5℉ and extraordinary wind chills made it feel like -14℉! Then, on Sunday, we had a giant snow storm bringing in 18 inches of snow, with 5 and half inches on Monday. 

“The storm this past Sunday and Monday was the 3rd greatest snow storm for the month of January and was the 10th greatest snowstorm all-time going back to 1885,” said Matthew Douglas, Chief Weather Observer at the Blue Hill Observatory.

 It is a very rare thing that an arctic blast hits at the same time as a colossal snow storm like this. The snow storm brought the most snow for the Boston area in 4 years. Kids did not have school on Monday and Tuesday because of the storm at Glover and many other schools. Meanwhile the storm affected many places across the country including Denver (Let’s go Patriots!). Lots of people were out shoveling on Monday. Some kids probably had a chill day because of the snow. Other kids built snowmen and made snow angels. This weekend many grocery stores were packed with people who were trying to stalk up on food. Make sure to get enough food for a month! 

“As excited as the kids are for the snow day, the teachers are too!” Said Mrs. McDavitt, Glover School principal. “After all these years, when I get the text from the Superintendent that school is canceled, I go right back to being a little kid, sledding and drinking hot cocoa! I know we won’t love it in June but right now, there’s something magical about a snow day!” 

Everyone was hyped about the snow day, teachers included! In all Milton got 23 and a half inches of snow! I hope everyone had a fun time in the snow storm!

Wolves!🐺

by Celia Nobrega

Wolves are the largest members of the dog family. They live and hunt in groups called packs. Most packs have about 6-10 wolves. Wolves work together to hunt big animals like deer and elk. They have a very strong sense of smell and great hearing. A wolf can sprint  as fast as 38 miles per hour. Wolves howl to talk to each other, not at the moon. You can hear a wolf howl from up to 10 miles away. An adult wolf has 42 strong teeth. Wolf babies are called pups and are born in the spring. All the adults in a pack help take care of the new pups. Wolves usually live 6 to 8 years in the wild.

The Patriots are going to the Super Bowl! They beat the Broncos 10-7. The Patriots are facing the Seahawks in Super Bowl 60 on February 8th in Santa Clara California. Drake Maye had an excellent game running into the end zone for the only Patriots touchdown of the game. He also rushed for the last first down to win the game.  The Pats defense was really good, Christian Gonzalez had an interception at the end of the game. Mike Vrabel turned this team around from a 4-13 team to a Super Bowl contender. Vrabel could also be the first person to win a Super Bowl with the same franchise both as a player and a coach. Before the AFC Championship Broncos star quarterback Boe Nix broke his ankle. Jarred Stidham played for the Broncos against the Patriots. The Patriots look to win their 7th Lombardi trophy, which would break the tie with the Steelers for the most Super Bowls from a single franchise. 

The Seahawks are also familiar with the Super Bowl as they have been in three Super Bowls and have won one title. This game comes as a rematch from the 2014 season, which was capped off by the famous Malcom Butler interception that won the Patriots the Super Bowl.
