• Delaware State Police Investigate Armed Robbery at Wilmington Tobacco Store After Masked Suspect With Gun Demanded Cash and Tobacco Products Friday Night (parktelegraph.com) — An armed robbery at Eagle Tobacco on Miller Road in Wilmington Friday night has Delaware State Police searching for a masked suspect who demanded cash and tobacco at gunpoint. No one was injured, but detectives from Troop 2 are still investigating and asking Wilmington residents to share any tips or surveillance footage that might help identify the person responsible.

• As nor'easter exits, what can we expect this winter? Check predictions (delawareonline.com) — Long-range winter outlooks suggest Delaware, including Wilmington, could see anything from heavy wet snow inland to milder, somewhat drier conditions, depending on which almanac you trust. Climatologists note Wilmington's average first measurable snowfall is around December 15, and say patterns like the North Atlantic Oscillation and polar vortex strength will matter more locally than El Niño as the season unfolds.
