From Only in Boston:
A 13,000-ton molasses storage tank burst 106 years ago today, flooding the North End at 35 MPH with a 40-foot wave of molasses, killing 21 and injuring 150.
Residents in the North End for decades afterwards claimed that the area smelled of molasses on hot summer days.

From @AstroHague: One of the hardest things to capture in a photo or video is how dynamic and captivating light is as it breaks over the horizon before sunrise. Blue gives way to yellow, then orange, revealing the full arc of the horizon. Each sunrise is a gift to behold. Merry Christmas to all!

From Mt. Washington NH: Summit staff members were treated to a clear sunrise and sunset today after a couple of days in the fog. Clear and cold conditions are expected to continue through tomorrow morning ahead of an approaching low-pressure system that will spread snowfall across the region.
