Better now than in April

Snowstorms are fine and ac-ceptable, so long as they occur within their alloted time peri-od. Therefore, even though we seem to be in the midst of an endless spree of winter storms, this is when we’re supposed to be seeing weather like this and we can’t really complain unless it continues into late March and into April.

Today — A slight chance of freezing rain before 3 p.m., then a chance of snow and freezing rain between 3 p.m and 5pm, then snow likely after 5pm. Cloudy, with a high near 27. East wind 7 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Little or no ice accumulation expected. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

Tonight — Snow. Low around 25. East wind 8 to 15 mph becoming north after mid-night. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches possible.

Tuesday — Snow likely, mainly before noon. Patchy blowing snow after 1 p.m. Cloudy, with a high near 27. Blustery, with a northwest wind 10 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipita-tion is 70%. New snow accumu-lation of 1 to 2 inches possible.

Chimps use branch to make ladder, escape Belfast Zoo

LONDON (AP) — Zookeepers say a group of chimpanzees used branches weakened by a storm to make a ladder and escape from their enclosure at the Belfast Zoo.

Video filmed Saturday by visitors to the Northern Ireland zoo showed several primates scaling a wall and perching atop it, with one walking down a path outside the enclosure.

Zookeeper Alyn Cairns said trees in the chimps' enclosure had been weakened by recent storms, allowing the animals to break them and fashion a ladder to escape. He told the BBC "they're intelligent primates and know they're not supposed to be out of their enclosure, so got back in themselves."

Two weeks ago a rare red panda escaped from the same zoo when its electric fences failed. The animal was recaptured in the driveway of a nearby house.

house call turns into horse call for police in Minnesota

INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, Minn. (AP) — Authorities say a suburban Minneapolis resident reported a strange intruder in her basement. It was a horse.

Inver Grove Heights police arrived at the woman’s home late Friday night to find a pale-colored horse walking through vari-ous rooms as officers watched through windows from the out-side.

Police Sgt. Adam Wiederhoeft says the investigation is ongo-ing and it isn’t clear how the horse got into the house, but that the animal’s owner came by to remove it.

A message on the police department’s Facebook page read: “No horses or officers were hurt in this incident and the horse was safely returned to the corral!”

Today is Monday, Feb. 11, the 42nd day of 2019. There are 323 days left in the year.

today's highlight in history:On Feb. 11, 1990, South African

black activist Nelson Mande-la was freed after 27 years in captivity.

On this date:In 1531, the Church of England

grudgingly accepted King Henry VIII as its supreme head.

In 1929, the Lateran Treaty was signed, with Italy recognizing the independence and sovereignty of Vatican City.

In 1937, a six-week-old sit-down strike against General Mo-tors ended, with the company agreeing to recognize the United Automobile Workers Union.

In 1945, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet leader Josef Stalin signed the Yalta Agreement, in which Stalin agreed to declare war against Imperial Japan following Nazi

Germany's capitulation.In 1963, American author and poet

Sylvia Plath was found dead in her London flat, a suicide; she was 30.

In 1968, New York City's fourth and current Madison Square Garden, located on Manhattan's West Side at the site of what used to be the Pennsylvania Station building, opened with a "Salute to the USO" hosted by Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. (The same evening, the New York Rangers played their final game at the third Garden, tying the Detroit Red Wings 3-3.)

In 1979, followers of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini seized power in Iran.

In 1986, Soviet dissident Natan Sha-ransky was released by the Soviet Union after nine years of captivity as part of an East-West prisoner exchange.

In 2006, Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and wounded Harry Whittington, a companion during a weekend quail-hunting trip in Texas.

In 2012, pop singer Whitney Hous-ton, 48, was found dead in a hotel room bathtub in Beverly Hills, California.

In 2013, with a few words in Latin, Pope Benedict XVI did what no pope had done in more than half a millennium: announced his resignation. The bombshell came during a routine morning meeting of Vatican cardinals. (The 85-year-old pontiff was succeed-ed by Pope Francis.)

ten years ago: The nation's top bankers went before the House Financial Services Committee, pledging to build public trust with greater lending and fewer perks. All-Star shortstop Miguel Tejada pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about steroids in baseball. (He was sentenced to a year's probation.) Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., who first went

to Congress in 1955, became the longest-serving member of the U.S. House of Representatives. President Robert Mugabe swore

in longtime rival Morgan Tsvangi-rai as Zimbabwe's prime minister.

Five years ago: President Barack Obama, during a joint White House news conference with French President Francois Hol-lande, vowed to come down like "a ton of bricks" on businesses that violated Iranian sanctions while nuclear negotiations were under way, and conceded "enormous frustration" with stalled Syrian peace talks. At the Sochi Games, Carina Vogt of Germa-ny won women's ski jumping's first-ever Olympic gold medal.
