Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:53:15 GMT

Turkey’s reluctance to approve Sweden’s NATO candidacy is hampering chances that Stockholm and Helsinki will join the military alliance together, the Swedish prime minister said Tuesday.“It is not excluded that Sweden and Finland will ratify in different steps,” Ulf Kristersson said at a press briefing, according to public broadcaster SVT.The likelihood of this scenario “has increased” in recent weeks, Kristersson added, highlighting the ball was now in obstinate Turkey’s court.Spurred by Russia’s war on Ukraine and the rising threat coming from Moscow, Sweden and Finland officially asked to join NATO last May, and later committed to joining the alliance together.Most members of the transatlantic military alliance quickly signed off on the joint application — except Hungary and Turkey, whose national parliaments have yet to ratify the membership bids.Although Stockholm has taken steps to ease some of Turkey’s concerns — including...

MassDOT expects to deploy more than 3,000 pieces of equipment during late season nor’easter

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:53:15 GMT

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation expects to deploy about 3,000 pieces of equipment during Tuesday’s daylong nor’easter, according to Highway Administrator Jonathan Gulliver. As of 7 a.m., MassDOT already has over 500 pieces of equipment deployed and is updating those numbers quickly.“These late season storms are really tough,” Gulliver said. “When you’re looking out the window and you’re looking at rain, you’re thinking this is going to be easy. It’s not, this is going to deteriorate very quickly as the temperature drops and the snowfall starts.” Gulliver said one of the biggest challenges with storms that start with rain is the roads cannot be pretreated. “When it starts raining and you have warm roadways, pretreatment is ineffective, and that means that when the snow really hits it’s going to ice up very quickly. When you have rates that we are talking about, two inches per hour, our snow plows a...
