-- If you want a White Christmas, the
place to be during the holiday will be in northern New England and
upper New York State.
Meteorologists at Cornell University's Northeast Regional
Climate Center say that although a white Christmas is unlikely for
many places in the Northeast, snow-prone upstate New York and
northern New England have favorable odds.
The center lists the top six places with the best chance of a
white Christmas with at least one inch of snow as Caribou, Maine;
Concord, New Hampshire; Syracuse, New York; Portland, Maine;
Binghampton, New York; and Burlington, Vermont.

AP-NH--New Test

Students hurrying to get equivalency degrees before exams change
-- Students pursuing high school equivalency
degrees in New Hampshire are flocking to review classes and testing
centers in hopes of passing before the exams change next month.
New versions of the five-subject exams will be issued January
first, and anyone working toward the degree after that will lose
credit for any pieces of the test taken before the changes. The
degrees provide credentials to adults who have not graduated from
traditional high schools.
The Education Department says there has been a surge of people
taking the test.
