Weather, Politics and a Rescue Puppy Lead Wide-Ranging News Day

A series of domestic and international developments dominated the day’s news cycle, ranging from a winter system tracking toward the Great Lakes to escalating political and human-rights clashes overseas. In addition, a video of a young avalanche rescue dog training on the shoulders of a ski patroller offered a lighter moment amid the heavier headlines.

Meteorologists are monitoring a late-week storm expected to blanket parts of the Great Lakes region with fresh snow. Forecast models indicate that frigid air behind the system could push unusually far south, bringing lower-than-normal temperatures even to Florida. The potential chill follows a season in which cold snaps have already challenged citrus growers and marine life in the state. Public safety agencies urged travelers to follow advisories issued by the National Weather Service as the front advances.

In the political arena, former President Donald Trump renewed his criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on January 13, 2026. Trump’s latest remarks amplified earlier claims that the central bank’s policies are driving persistent inflation. While Powell has emphasized the need for data-driven decisions, the former president’s comments keep monetary policy in the national spotlight and intensify pressure on the Fed ahead of its next rate meeting.

Abroad, the death toll in Iran continues to rise as anti-government demonstrators face execution, according to accounts circulating from rights groups inside and outside the country.

International observers have condemned the sentences, warning that executing protesters risks further unrest and deeper isolation for Tehran.

On Capitol Hill, a House committee signaled that former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton could be held in contempt of Congress. Lawmakers allege that both failed to comply with subpoenas tied to an inquiry into the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. The panel has not ruled out seeking enforcement through the courts, a move that would escalate the standoff between investigators and the high-profile couple.

In South Carolina, a police officer was injured during a fiery ambush. Authorities said the attacker opened fire before flames engulfed part of the scene, forcing responders to balance firefighting with tactical operations. The wounded officer was transported to a local hospital; officials have not released additional details on the officer’s condition or the motive behind the assault.

Amid these weightier stories, a brief clip captured broad interest online: a puppy in avalanche-rescue training standing perched on a ski patroller’s shoulders while descending a snowy slope. The footage underscores the early acclimation process required for canines that will eventually search for buried skiers and snowboarders. Although only a few months old, the dog’s calm demeanor in a dynamic alpine environment hints at the steady temperament needed for future life-saving missions.
