As Americans prepare to honor heroes on Veterans Day, some travel companies are offering specials to give veterans and military personnel well-deserved vacations.
Sarah Basham, a travel advisor and supervisor at Travelmation, a licensed travel agency based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has been a military spouse for more than 25 years.
Basham told Fox News Digital that for active-duty families, time together is “often fleeting.”

We don’t always know what our schedule for the year will be, so when our service members are home we make the most of every minute. Vacations are a way for us to get away from the pressure of service and really connect and bond as a family,” said Basham.

Basham said she has seen an increase in military families traveling since 2020.
“Many service members had very strong travel restrictions, so when those were lifted, they were eager to get out and see the world with their families.”
I have definitely seen an uptick in military families reaching out to book those special vacations,” she added.
Bashman said there are many travel benefits for military families, and they should “take advantage of them and book a much deserved getaway.”

OKLAHOMA CITY — Stephen Curry scored 36 points, and the Golden State Warriors held off a late rally to defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder 127-116 on Sunday night.
It was a double whammy for the Thunder as forward Chet Holmgren didn’t return after suffering a right hip injury in the first quarter. The injury put a damper on a matchup between two of the top teams in the Western Conference.
Jonathan Kuminga scored 20 points, De’Anthony Melton had 19 points and 10 rebounds and Andrew Wiggins added 18 points for the Warriors.
Golden State led by 30 late in the third quarter before the Thunder stormed back. A steal and dunk by Alex Caruso cut Golden State’s lead to six with 4:46 left before the Warriors regained control.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 24 points and Jalen Williams added 20 for the Thunder, who suffered their first home loss of the season.
Warriors: This version of Curry is what Oklahoma City fans have come to expect when he visits. The 36-year-old made 7 of 13 3-pointers and shot 13 of 23 overall and showed that when he’s on, his team is tough to slow down.
Thunder: Oklahoma City led the league in defensive rating partly due to the 7-foot-1 Holmgren’s ability protect the rim and cover for his teammates’ mistakes. Without him, the guards couldn’t gamble as much, and the Thunder weren’t as good defensively around the rim.
Oklahoma City cut its deficit to 116-108 before Curry hit a 3-pointer while falling to the ground with 3:23 remaining. The Warriors led by at least seven the rest of the way.
Golden State shot 50.6% from the field. It was the first time this season a Thunder opponent shot better than 50%.
Golden State visits Dallas on Tuesday, and the Thunder host the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.
After a brief pause in communications with Voyager 1, NASA re-established a connection with the interstellar spacecraft located more than 15 billion miles away from Earth, using a frequency not used more than forty years.
Communication between NASA and Voyager 1 has been spotty at times. In fact, the spacecraft stopped sending readable data to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California on Nov. 14, 2023, and it was not until April that mission controllers began receiving commands once again.
More recently, the spacecraft turned off one of its two transmitters after what engineers suspected was due to Voyager 1’s fault protection system, which autonomously responds to onboard issues.
For instance, if the spacecraft uses too much power from its supply source, fault protection will kick in to conserve power by turning off non-essential systems, NASA explained.
VOYAGER 1 DETECTS ‘HUM’ WHILE IN INTERSTELLAR SPACE: REPORT

The space agency said the flight team sent a command to activate one of the spacecraft’s heaters on Oct. 16. The command takes nearly 23 hours to travel from Earth to the spacecraft, and then another 23 hours for the data to travel back.
Engineers suspected Voyager 1 should have had plenty of power to operate the heather, though the fault protection system was triggered.
On Oct. 18, the team learned about the issue, because the Deep Space Network was unable to detect Voyager 1’s signal. Communication between NASA and the spacecraft occurs on the X-band radio transmitter, named for the frequency it uses.

The fault protection system lowered the rate the transmitter was able to send data back to NASA, engineers determined, therefore changing the X-band signal the Deep Space Network needed to listen for.
Once the signal was located, Voyager 1 appeared to be in a stable state and the team began investigating what happened.
But on Oct. 19, communication between the team and Voyager 1 stopped again, this time entirely.
The team believed Voyager 1’s fault protection system was triggered two more times and switched to a second radio transmitter called the S-band, which uses less power.

Voyager 1 had not used the S-band to communicate with Earth since 1981.
Engineers with the Deep Space Network were ultimately able to detect the spacecraft’s communication from the S-band. Rather than risk turning the X-band back on before finding out what caused the fault protection system to trigger, the team sent a command on Oct. 22 to confirm the S-band transmitter was working.
Now, the team is working to gather information to help them find out what happened so it can return Voyager 1 back to normal operations.

Voyager 1′s odyssey began in 1977 when the spacecraft and its twin, Voyager 2, were launched on a tour of the gas giant planets of the solar system.
After beaming back dazzling postcard views of Jupiter’s giant red spot and Saturn’s shimmering rings, Voyager 2 hopscotched to Uranus and Neptune. Meanwhile, Voyager 1 used Saturn as a gravitational slingshot to power itself past Pluto.

Some people prefer sunny weather, others like the rain. However, there’s something uniquely enchanting about snow. Every year throughout the country, snow blankets homes in a relaxing, white layer that silences the city sounds and signifies the beginning of the holiday season.
While snow is fairly common across the northern U.S., some cities see a much larger amount than others, transforming into winter wonderlands. But which cities see the most snow?
If you’re considering moving to a new area but aren’t sure where to choose, we’re here to help. Whether you like warm, sunny cities year-round and are making a list of places to avoid, or love a cold and snowy winter, Redfin has compiled a list of the snowiest cities in the U.S. to help you move with confidence. Read on to learn more and discover if one of these cities is right for you.
How we measure the snowiest cities
For our purposes of determining the “snowiest” cities, this list will focus on cities that receive the highest average seasonal snowfall totals. Some cities may see more days with measurable snowfall but lower average totals, so we won’t include them.
Keep reading to see Redfin’s rankings of the snowiest cities in the U.S. with a population of 75,000 or more.
What are the snowiest cities in the U.S.?
1. Syracuse, New York
Average annual snowfall: 127.8 inches
Record seasonal snowfall: 192.1 inches (1992-93)
The snowiest city in the U.S. is Syracuse, NY. Syracuse is also the rainiest and one of the cloudiest cities in the country.
Syracuse is so snowy because of its location near the Great Lakes, often seeing strong lake-effect snowstorms. Lake-effect precipitation happens when older air that enters the region from the west or northwest travels east over the relatively warmer lakes, turning into heavy rain or snow. Syracuse is just east of Lake Ontario, so it sees this pattern frequently. The lake effect is much stronger and more common in the winter due to the larger temperature difference between the air and water.
Sometimes, lake-effect systems stall over the region, causing snowstorms that can cover the city in feet of snow within a day. Because of this, Upstate New York is known for some of the heaviest snowfall in the world. This is what prompted the largest Upstate cities to compete for the Golden Snowball Award, which is awarded annually to the city that receives the most snow. Syracuse has won the majority of the years dating back to 1951, but Buffalo has won the past three and currently holds the trophy.
The most snow Syracuse has seen in a single storm occurred during the Storm of the Century in 1993, when 42.9 inches fell in two days.

2. Erie, Pennsylvania
Average seasonal snowfall: 104.3 inches
Record seasonal snowfall: 166.3 inches(2017-18)
The small city of Erie, PA is second on our list. As one of the snowbelt cities, Erie sees most of its snow from lake effect storms off Lake Erie. However, because the cold air that causes storms doesn’t cross as much of the lake as other cities like Syracuse (from Lake Ontario), snow is generally lighter.
Regardless, the area does see strong storms: Recently, Erie was hit with over five feet of snow during the holidays due to a lake effect storm.

3. Rochester, New York
Average seasonal snowfall: 102 inches
Record seasonal snowfall: 161.7 inches(1959-60)
Rochester is the third-snowiest city in the U.S., again thanks to the lake effect. Similar to Syracuse, it receives an abundance of snowfall from Lake Ontario. However, it’s located further west than Syracuse, meaning there is less opportunity for cold air to pass over the lake, resulting in lower snowfall totals. Also similar to Syracuse, Rochester is known for more frequent light and moderate snow, but it has seen many strong storms.
The most intense snowstorm in the city’s history occurred from February 28-March 2, 1900. This storm dropped 43.5 inches of snow over 63 straight hours, causing the deepest snowpack Rochester has ever seen.

4. Buffalo, New York
Average seasonal snowfall: 95.4 inches
Record seasonal snowfall: 199.4 inches(1976-77)
The last of the Upstate New York cities, Buffalo is the fourth-snowiest city in the U.S. Like Syracuse and Rochester, Buffalo gets most of its snow from strong lake effect snowstorms.
However, Buffalo is infamous for experiencing especially intense and narrow snow bands, resulting in blizzards which can drop many feet of snow in a day. The most well-known snowstorm is the Blizzard of 1977, which dropped more than 100 inches of snow in three days. More recently, the Christmas week storm of 2022 dropped over four feet of snow along with hurricane-force winds, causing widespread damage and disruptions.
So, while Buffalo may receive less average snowfall than its neighbors, it sees some of the strongest storms and fastest snow accumulation. Buffalo’s one-day snowfall record of 33.9 inches is rivaled only by Syracuse on this list.

5. Boulder, CO
Average seasonal snowfall: 92.8 inches
Record seasonal snowfall: 152.0 inches(2019-20)
Boulder, CO, the first city on our list in the Rocky Mountains, is the fifth-snowiest city in the country. The keys to Boulder’s snowy winters are its elevation and location.
At 5,430 feet above sea level, Boulder benefits from upslope flow, where moisture from the east rises rapidly over the steep Rockies and condenses into precipitation. Due to the frequently-cold temperatures, this precipitation often falls as snow during the winter. The colder air temperatures also lead to extremely long snow seasons that last from September to June.
Additionally, even though it’s only 30 miles from Denver, Boulder receives more than twice the amount of snow. This is primarily due to Boulder’s pristine location in the shadow of the steep Flatiron range. When winter storm systems hit the Flatirons, they drop huge amounts of snow in order to ascend quickly, most of which falls on Boulder.
However, Boulder’s winters aren’t the freezing snowscapes some might expect. While the area does get plenty of snow, it rarely lingers more than a few days thanks to strong sunlight and relatively mild temperatures. The average winter high is around 47°F, with 60°F days not uncommon. Compared to places like Syracuse, where the average winter high is 34°F, Boulder’s winters are relatively mild (minus the dramatic temperature swings).

6. Duluth, Minnesota
Average seasonal snowfall: 90.2 inches
Record seasonal snowfall: 140.1 inches(2022-23)
The sixth-snowiest city in the U.S. is Duluth, MN. During the long winter, Duluth regularly sees snow, and experiences extremely cold weather for months on end. In fact, Duluth is the fourth-coldest major city in the contiguous U.S.
Duluth is unique in that it sits on the western side of Lake Superior, which would typically make it a drier city. However, Lake Superior is large enough and far enough north for it to produce lake effect precipitation along all of its shores that can spread far inland. That, combined with other storms that blow through during the spring and fall, make it a very cold and snowy city.

7. Flagstaff, Arizona
Average seasonal snowfall: 90.1 inches
Record seasonal snowfall: 153.9 inches (1948-49)
Flagstaff is the seventh-snowiest city in the U.S., receiving over seven feet of snow per year on average. The city is particularly snowy because of its high elevation (6,900 feet above sea level) and proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Even though the city is relatively far south, the altitude brings plenty of cold air and means that any moisture moving over the area will likely fall near the city.
Flagstaff benefits from a similar phenomenon as Boulder, but moisture comes from the Pacific Ocean instead of the Midwest.
Snow has been relatively common lately, too. The 2022-23 season was the second-snowiest on record, and 2024-25 is starting off strong; the local Arizona Snowbowl Ski Resort just had its earliest opening day in history.

8. Anchorage, Alaska
Average seasonal snowfall: 77.9 inches
Record seasonal snowfall: 134.5 inches(2011-12)
Surprisingly, Anchorage, AK, the northernmost major city in the U.S., is only the eighth snowiest. This is because Anchorage is surrounded by tall mountains and fjords, which causes a large portion of the frequent Pacific storms to dump most of their snow and rain before they reach the city. However, the city still receives plenty of snow and provides gorgeous vistas year-round.
Other Alaskan towns, such as Juneau (87.6 inches) and Homer (100.6 inches), receive more snow than Anchorage on average, but are too small for this list.
Recently, during the current 2023-24 season, Anchorage totaled 133.3 inches of snow – the second-snowiest season on record. Snow fell as late as May that season.

9. Grand Rapids, Michigan
Average seasonal snowfall: 77.6 inches
Record seasonal snowfall: 132.2 inches(1951-52)
Grand Rapids, MI, is the ninth-snowiest city in the U.S. Similar to many other cities on the list, the city sees most of its snow from lake effect storms. Grand Rapids is just to the east of Lake Michigan, meaning if cold air is blowing from the west or southwest, snow is likely to fall in the area. However, these wind patterns usually only last for around 12 hours at a time, meaning the region sees much lower snowfall totals than the top spots on this list.
The largest one-day snowfall ever recorded in Grand Rapids occurred during the famous Blizzard of January 26-27 in 1978. 16.1 inches of snow fell in 24 hours, with up to 30 inches or more in some localized areas.

10. Worcester, Massachusetts
Average seasonal snowfall: 72.9 inches
Record seasonal snowfall: 132.9 inches(1995-96)
Last on our list is Worcester, MA. Worcester is just the fourth city on the list not to benefit from the lake effect. Instead, the area sees most of its snow from Nor’easters, which are storms that result from strong, cold air from the northeast hitting the relatively warmer waters of the Atlantic Ocean. These storms can produce very strong snowstorms across New England and even further south.
In fact, the January 2015 Blizzard, which was a Nor’easter, dumped 34.5 inches of snow – a single-storm record.
Interestingly, Worcester receives nearly 30 inches more snow on average than coastal cities like Boston and Providence. This is because of its inland location and proximity to higher elevation, causing lower temperatures and more winter precipitation.

What is the snowiest place in the U.S.?
The outright snowiest place in the United States is a tossup between Mount Rainier (Tahoma) and Mount Baker (Kulshan) in Washington State. These mountains receive an average of 640–663 inches of snowfall each year, but have seen as much as 1,122 and 1,140 inches respectively – the highest totals in the world.
The mountains receive so much snow because of their high elevation and proximity to frequent moisture from the Pacific Ocean. One of the lowest-elevation ski resorts in the U.S., The Summit at Snoqualmie, also benefits from this pattern. Late-season snow at higher elevations is especially common.
How is snowfall changing?
There are three ingredients necessary for snow:
Cold air (around 32 degrees Fahrenheit)
Moisture (high relative humidity)
Rising air (required for clouds and precipitation)
Due to climate change, most of the world is receiving more precipitation. However, the world is also warming rapidly, especially in the far north and south, causing more of this precipitation to fall as rain. More rain means less snowpack and shrinking glaciers, leading to disruptions to the global water and food supply. This is especially apparent in mountainous regions, primarily at lower elevations.
This trend is already happening and is projected to get worse. In fact, the 2023-2024 winter was the warmest on record in the contiguous U.S., with many calling it “The Lost Winter.” Cold and snow were largely absent across large swaths of the country.
So, as the world warms, the snowiest cities in the U.S. will likely see less snow in the future.
Methodology
This list contains seasonal snowfall data for major cities with over 75,000 residents, measured from July 1st through June 30th.
Data comes from the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and its parent administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The owners of Annandale House had seen it featured on Vogue Living years before the architecturally designed home even hit the market.
So when the property first came up for sale in 2021, the opportunity to make it their home was ‘too compelling to resist’.
Once a modest weatherboard cottage, the home at 203 Nelson Street, Annandale, is pretty unique to say the least.
A transformative renovation by Welsh + Major maximises space behind the heritage-protected facade — which stands at just five metres wide.
The architects created a breezy extension crafted from a series of masonry volumes, making the most of the narrow block with an additional ground-floor level and an impressive lightwell separating old and new.
This space holds the staircase, wrapped around a majestic fig-leaf tree, alongside a retractable glazed roof overhead that opens the whole lightwell to the sky at the flick of a switch!
The owners fell in love with this impressive spin on indoor-outdoor living, and the home’s impeccable craftsmanship.
‘While we didn’t oversee the build or initiate major renovations ourselves, we have carefully curated the interiors to enhance the original design ethos, ensuring the home retains its unique character,’ they say.
In contrast to the two original bedrooms, the living room, dining room and kitchen feature a contemporary mix of polished concrete floors, exposed sandstone, and dark timber joinery. There’s also a luxurious main bedroom overlooking the serene courtyard terrace, while a rooftop garden lined with seasonal-blooming aloes is another highlight of the innovative design.
After living in this retreat filled with ‘moments of calm’ for the past few years, the couple have decided to list the three-bedroom house to move closer to their extended family.
‘We will miss the quiet elegance of this home,’ the owners add. Leaving the area is bittersweet too, calling Annadale one of Sydney’s ‘hidden gems’.
‘It’s been wonderful to enjoy the best of both worlds: the energy of the CBD just moments away and the warmth and community spirit that make Annandale truly special,’ the vendors say.
‘Living here has allowed us to appreciate not only the architectural nuances of our home but also the unique character of this exceptional neighbourhood.’
203 Nelson Street, Annandale, NSW 2038, is listed for sale with Chris Nunn from BresicWhitney and will go to auction on 3:45pm Saturday November 30.

The Arizona Supreme Court declined to extend the state’s deadline for voters to fix problems with their mail ballots after finding no evidence of disenfranchisement.
The American Civil Liberties Union’s (ACLU) Arizona arm and the Campaign Legal Center raised concerns that thousands of mail ballots won’t be processed until after Sunday’s 5 p.m. MST deadline, meaning some voters won’t know if their ballot has an issue until it is too late to cure it.
The state’s top court declined the groups’ emergency petition, which was filed Saturday, that sought to extend the statutory deadline. The petition asked the court to provide voters with four days to cure their ballot after being notified of a deficiency.
No county that responded asked for an extension, and each asserted they made reasonable efforts to notify voters with inconsistent signatures, the court noted.
“Thus, the Court is not presented with evidence that any voters will be prevented from curing a defective ballot by today’s 5:00 p.m. deadline. In short, there is no evidence of disenfranchisement before the Court,” the court’s order reads.
The ACLU filed its petition alongside the League of United Latin American Citizens. The Republican National Committee (RNC) filed court papers opposing the request.
“ACLU lost its hail mary last minute lawsuit to extend the cure period for mail ballots lacking signature matches. Ballot curing is now over in Arizona. Let’s finish the tabulation and wrap this up,” Harmeet Dhillon, who represented the RNC, wrote on X.
Arizona State Senate President Warren Petersen (R), who similarly filed a brief opposing the ACLU, wrote “Court ruled as predicted. ACLU lost. We won.”
“We encourage voters to check their ballot status. We will continue to advocate to make sure all votes are counted,” the ACLU of Arizona said in a statement.
Before mail ballots are tabulated in Arizona, each county recorder processes them to verify the voter’s signature. When issues are discovered, state law requires officials to make reasonable efforts to notify the voter and provide them an opportunity to cure their ballot.
But state law also provides that voters have until five days after the election to do so.
More than 67,000 early ballots had yet to be processed as of Sunday, according to estimates from the Arizona secretary of state’s office. The majority — 57,000 — are from Maricopa County, the state’s most populous area that includes Phoenix.
“All responding counties advise that all such affected voters have received at least one telephone call along with other messages by emails, text messages or mail,” the court wrote in its order.

Looks like Tom Holland won’t have to Google Zendaya to keep up with her anymore. The longtime romantic partners, who first met while co-starring in 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, will be working closely together once again. This time, it’s in a secretive, starry film from director Christopher Nolan—his first since last summer’s Oscar-sweeping WWII drama Oppenheimer.
The as-yet-untitled project, which reportedly begins shooting in early 2025, has drawn considerable talent so far. In addition to Holland and Zendaya, the cast also includes Anne Hathaway and Matt Damon. According to Deadline, any previously published loglines or descriptions of the secretive film are incorrect, and plot details remain firmly under wraps.
Zendaya, of course, is fresh off starring in Luca Guadagnino’s sexy tennis film Challengers and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two alongside fellow ingenue Timothée Chalamet. Though she’s never worked with Nolan before, Zendaya’s not too far removed from the director—she’s also currently filming A24 romance The Drama with Robert Pattinson, who starred in 2021’s Tenet.
This will mark the third Nolan pic for Hathaway, following 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises and 2014’s Interstellar. The actress has been busy this year, starring in Mother’s Instinct with Jessica Chastain and Amazon’s age-gap rom-com The Idea of You with budding heartthrob Nicholas Galitzine. She’s also currently working on sci-fi drama Flowervale Street, which hits theaters next May.
It’ll also be the third Nolan collaboration for Damon, who co-starred with Hathaway in Interstellar in addition to Oppenheimer.
And as for Holland? He most recently starred in Apple TV+’s crime mystery The Crowded Room, is working on a racecar driver film with Austin Butler,and has been dabbling in other ventures, like launching a non-alcoholic beer company, Bero, and matching with Zendaya.
