A repeat of the extreme cold that South Arkansas experienced early Saturday is ahead for early Sunday.

The National Weather Service in Shreveport said a hard freeze warning will be in effect from midnight until 9 a.m. Sunday.

People in the Houston area woke up Saturday morning to a rare sight in southeast Texas: Ice.

Saturday was the coldest day the Houston-area has seen since January 2014. Many people stopped by the Wortham Fountain on Allen Parkway to take pictures of the frozen ice that covered the structure, after the it was left running overnight.

Central Florida can expect a chilly evening Saturday with temperatures in the 40s and even colder air by Sunday morning.

Florida gets another blast of winter weather for the weekend, and it includes a Wind Chill Advisory for all of Central Florida and a Freeze Warning north of Orlando.

A cold wave across Europe has left at least 23 dead in the past two days, including several migrants and homeless people, authorities said Saturday, with the frigid temperatures expected to continue through the weekend.

Blizzards and dangerously low temperatures persisted in parts of Europe on Sunday, prompting Pope Francis to draw attention to the homeless suffering in freezing weather. In Serbia, aid workers scrambled to help hundreds of migrants sleeping rough in parks and makeshift shelters.

Heavy snowfall and double-digit subzero temperatures have led to deaths and disrupted transport across Europe.

In Poland, where the temperature is 20 degrees below zero, at least ten people died due to cold over the past few days.

In Belgium, one driver was killed when his truck slid off the highway, while in Italy, dozens of homeless people died from the cold, said The Independent (Independent).

Russia has spent the coldest Christmas in the last 120 years, since the thermometers in Moscow during the night showed 30 degrees below zero, and in St. Petersburg, the temperature was minus 24th

Many skiers in Sarajevo remained there because the temperature dropped to minus 27 degrees.

The planes do not fly to Europe several airports, and ferries in ports.
Blizzard on Saturday paralyzed Istanbul - disturbed and navigation in the Bosphorus strait, and canceled several hundred flights.

Wednesday, January 11th marks the beginning of Senate confirmation hearings for Trump's cabinet nominees from Rex Tillerson, recent former CEO of Exxon for Secretary of State to climate-change denier Scott Pruitt for EPA Administrator and oil-industry darling, ex-Texas Governor Rick Perry for Secretary of Energy. Critics say it could be one of the most fossil-fuel-friendly White House Cabinets in history.

Activists have labelled it the "Climate Denial Cabinet" and on Monday, January 9th has been dubbed the "Day Against Denial."

Icy temperatures across Europe have left more than 20 people dead and blanketed even the Greek islands and southern Italy in snow.

Italy saw ferries and flights cancelled and schools in the south are expected to close on Monday.

Turkey has also been badly affected. The Bosphorus was closed to shipping as a heavy snowstorm hit Istanbul.

At least 10 people died of cold in Poland. Night temperatures in Russia plunged to minus 30C.

Curry is known for her scientifically astute explanations of the uncertainties in climate science. Indeed, she has been attacked as "anti-science" by other researchers who repeat the rote "scientific consensus" that man-made global warming is a catastrophic threat to humanity. In a cruel sort of irony, the universities — ostensibly the bastion of academic freedom — have become unsafe for those who, using good scientific methods, are skeptical of the received wisdom on climate change.

BRITAIN is on alert for the most severe winter freeze for SIX YEARS to send temperatures crashing to -15C (5F) within days.

Science hoaxes were running rampant throughout 2016, pushed by the fakestream media (CNN, WashPost, NYT, etc.) alongside complicit government organizations working in collusion with dishonest corporations steeped in scientific fraud (Monsanto, Big Pharma, etc.).

2016 saw more science hoaxes than a typical year, with the media placing special emphasis on the Zika virus terror campaign (rooted in total scientific hucksterism) and more climate change propaganda (all based on fraudulently altered data). In every case, those pushing the science frauds claimed to have a divine monopoly on “science” while declaring all opposing views to be “unscientific.”

In this way, much of the “science” in today’s corrupt society has really become nothing more than a cult of scientism, complete with “faith” in the correctness of socially-reinforced beliefs while exercising instant rejection of evidence that contradicts the fairy tale narratives of the science elite.

As of Thursday morning, the National Weather Service measured a record 15 inches on the ground at the NWS office at the Boise Airport, up from 7 inches before the latest wave of snowstorms rolled in.

The previous snow depth record was 13 inches (Dec. 30, 1983 and Dec. 2, 1985). And yes, that’s the record for total snowfall sitting on the ground, any day of the year.

With the U.S. East Coast blanketed in snow once again, it’s hard to imagine that climate scientists and environmentalists predicted years ago that the “end of snow” was nigh and that the Arctic would soon be “ice-free.”

The U.S. East Coast got pounded by yet another winter storm on Monday that brought to temperatures to a 141-year record low in the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. metro area. The rash of cold weather and snowstorms have put environmentalists and climate scientists on the defensive, as they explain that one exceptionally cold and snowy winter does not disprove global warming.

One northern Michigan city set a record for total December snowfall.

Gaylord had 60" of snow during December 2016. December 2016 tops the previous December snowfall record of 57.1" in 2008.

Decent snowfall data goes back to 1951 in downtown Gaylord. The snow is measured once daily by cooperative weather observers.

“The study, made by scientists for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was published in the current issue of Geophysical Research Letters. It is based on temperature and precipitation readings taken at weather stations around the country from 1895 to 1987.”

Then comes the revisionist stepping-back from the explosive finding:

“Dr. Kirby Hanson, the meteorologist who led the study, said in a telephone interview that the findings concerning the United States do not necessarily ‘cast doubt’ on previous findings of a worldwide trend toward warmer temperatures…He said that the United States occupies only a small percentage of Earth’s surface and that the new findings may be the result of regional variations.”

Last week, in one of his final moves out of the Oval Office, Obama executively designated more than 1.5 million acres of land as national monuments, preserving their untouched façade while closing them to human expansion, development, energy use, ranching or state or local jurisdiction.

In a move ignored by the liberal media last week, Obama unilaterally seized more than 1.3 million acres from Utah to establish the Bears Ears Monument, preserving it at the behest of conservationist groups and Native American tribes who claimed the land was sacred. Utah’s state legislature, however, opposed the unilateral land grab across party lines, with many speculating that Obama’s move is the latest in an attempt to limit efforts from incoming President Donald Trump to expand domestic energy production.

It's snowing in the Sierra. It started snowing Jan. 4, and you can already see what Mother Nature has wrought.

Minnesota’s infamous winters are the absolute worst, the most miserable of anywhere in the U.S, according to the website thrillist.com — and that was before the worst of this week’s bone-chilling cold.

The website on Tuesday ranked every state on how bad its winters are. Hawaii was 50th, Minnesota was first.

From the “models can make you believe anything” department comes this breathless doom-laden press release from the same school that brought you the big wheel of silly climate model results.

West Michigan motorists are likely to encounter longer-than-normal commutes and hazardous travel conditions on Wednesday and Thursday.

A winter weather advisory, issued by the National Weather Service, is calling for blowing and drifting snow, along with much longer travel times for commuters. The winter weather advisory runs from 4 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 4 to 10 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 5.

A rare dusting of snow appeared on Mount Hamilton on Monday. While the snow is a treat for some people, the chilly conditions prompted officials in San Jose to open four overnight warming centers.

As the sun set Monday evening, drivers heading up Mount Hamilton Road in San Jose were turned away at Grant Ranch County Park.

CalTrans closed the road to visitors since 3:30 a.m., deeming it a safety hazard after snow began to fall.

“It’s snowing up there,” said Brandon Lee of San Jose. “It's really surprising because I have never heard of snow in the Bay Area before like in this area.”

Rain Monday might, will transition into a deep freeze later in the week.

Roads and highways in northern Colorado were icy and snow-packed in spots after it began snowing in the region this morning, creating traffic crashes throughout northern Colorado.

Interstate 25, U.S. 85 and U.S. 34 all were icy in spots, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation.

The start of 2017 brought a rare dusting of snow to some locations in the Bay Area.

Rain fell overnight Sunday and the cold temperatures meant snow fell in elevations as low as 1,500 feet.

Our cameras captured white caps on Mount Diablo in Contra Costa County and St. Helena in Napa County.

At noon, it was snowing at Robert Louis Stevenson State Park, on Mt. St. Helena. The parking lot, at 2250 feet elevation, is only about half way up the mountain. That assured that the colder, cloud hidden summit was being pelted by much heavier snow.

Democrats have their own science fraud, of course, and there’s no better example than global warming / climate change.

An analysis of climate data reveals that 100% of U.S. warming has been faked by altering temperature data.

With the holiday season underway, area ski resorts are seeing a boost in business in all aspects of their facilities. Officials say the fresh snow that fell Thursday and Friday also helped get people out of their homes and onto the slopes.

When the snow is sticking outside Waterfront Station in Downtown Vancouver, you can easily imagine how things are going to play out as you get away from the water.

The answer on this windy, snowy New Year’s Eve: snowfall throughout the Lower Mainland caused traffic snarls and transit delays as 2016 came to a close.

Environment Canada issued two snowfall warnings, one for Metro Vancouver and the other for the Fraser Valley, on Saturday early evening. The warnings were called off shortly after 8:30 p.m.

Hundreds of people in the Fairbanks area were without power this morning as a winter storm that dropped a foot of snow moves out of the region.

As of 9:30, about 1,200 were in the dark, according to the Golden Valley Electric Association outage site. As many as 4,000 people lost power at times overnight as winds gusted to 40 mph and temperatures rose to near freezing. A couple more inches of snow could fall today as both the winds and temperatures are expected to drop during the afternoon.

It is 36 degrees right now at 8:25 PM. That is probably the highest temp in over a month. We need it. There are piles of plowed snow to melt.

Winter storm warnings and advisories are in effect for the Northland through Tuesday, as the first winter storm of 2017 may bring a foot or more of snow to parts of the region.

The squall that passed through Fairbanks this afternoon was the precursor for "the main event" — a blustery snow storm expected to arrive in Fairbanks between 8 p.m. and midnight — said National Weather Service meteorologist Dan Hancock, at about 6:20 p.m.

Hancock said the squall was "a taste of things to come" tonight.

Thousands of people in the Northeast woke up without power Friday morning, after deadly Winter Storm Fortis delivered strong winds and over two feet of snow to portions of the Northeast.

“Winter Storm Fortis brought very heavy snow and strong winds Thursday night into Friday, with snowfall rates of 4 to 6 inches per hour in portions of Maine,” said weather.com meteorologist Linda Lam. “Thundersnow was also reported in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Maine. Snow will linger in northern New England on Friday, especially during the morning.”

After yet another blizzard earlier this week on Mount Hood, it would seem a scientists' snow survey Thursday at Mount Hood would yield the obvious: the mountain is swimming in the stuff.

And it is.

If you live in Tompkins County, don't expect the snow to stop before New Year's Eve.

The problem with the NOAA graph is that it is fake data. NOAA creates the warming trend by altering the data. The NOAA raw data shows no warming over the past century.

Blowing, drifting snow causing for treacherous driving conditions

Greeks are in awe following a rare snowfall in their country that blanketed the streets, trees, and houses of the capital. Pictures of Athens completely covered in white are filling social media.

A powerful winter storm will unleash heavy, wet snow and howling winds across portions of New England from late Thursday through midday Friday, with blizzard conditions possible in some areas.

Much of New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine should see a foot of snow, with nearly two feet expected in some spots, the National Weather Service said. "This looks to be a high-impact storm with power outages and significant drifting issues likely," the weather service warned.

The storm will cause "extensive travel disruptions" Thursday and Friday, AccuWeather said.

Blowing, drifting snow causing for treacherous driving conditions

A blizzard in the Beartooth Mountains outside Cody trapped snow plow drivers and even the tow truck that came to pull them out. An amazing rescue saved one plow truck driver who spent all night in the cab of his plow. He survived deadly cold and wind.

In Cody Monday morning, just as temperatures rose above freezing for the first time in four days blinding blowing snow trapped a big backhoe in a drift, and it had to be pulled out with another rig.

All over town, tow truck operators were pulling cars out of the snow, even as the blizzard blinded them. But one of the men who saved Wyoming Department of Transportation tow truck drivers says conditions in the mountains outside Yellowstone Sunday morning were much worse…

It'll be a slick and messy commute to work Tuesday morning, but the City of Spokane has had crews working on the streets for two days now.

The United States’ highest paid climate change expert has been sentenced to 32 months in federal prison on fraud charges.

The city spent some extra green cleaning up from a white Christmas.

Coun. Ward Sutherland said it cost the city $2 million to keep crews working during the holiday storm, including $500,000 on snow removal.

“We normally don’t do snow removal, but it was so bad they had to spend a half a million,” Sutherland said. “I did my own driveway five times, so that tells you something.”

Snow, freezing rain and up to 50 mile an hour winds continued into Monday in the Great Plains, as the harsh winter weather forced airport closings, power outages, and shut off long stretches of highway in the Dakotas.

Data from the National Snow and Ice Data Center indicate the Arctic lost about 57,000 square miles of ice (148,000 square kilometers) in the past day, which is roughly the size of Illinois. Labe cautioned, however, the ice loss data are preliminary and require quality control.

MAJOR WINTER STORM ON TRACK TO IMPACT ALL OF THE NORTHLAND CHRISTMAS DAY AND MONDAY... .A MAJOR WINTER STORM WILL START TO IMPACT THE NORTHLAND AS EARLY AS SATURDAY NIGHT WITH AREAS OF FREEZING DRIZZLE AND PERHAPS SOME LIGHT SNOW. PRECIPITATION WILL THEN INCREASE BOTH IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY ON CHRISTMAS DAY AND CHRISTMAS NIGHT

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." -- Carl Sagan

"The real deniers are people who think our climate was and should remain static and unchanging." -- Paul Driessen and Chris Skates

"Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket." -- Eric Hoffer, The Temper of Our Time

Heavy snowfall and rickety vehicles have slowed the evacuation of thousands of civilians and rebel fighters from war-torn eastern Aleppo, the International Committee of the Red Cross said Thursday, as Syrian regime forces stood poised to take control of the key city.

The U.S. Energy Department said on Tuesday it will not comply with a request from President-elect Donald Trump's Energy Department transition team for the names of people who have worked on climate change and the professional society memberships of lab workers.

The Energy Department's response could signal a rocky transition for the president-elect's energy team and potential friction between the new leadership and the staffers who remain in place.

Physics Professor William Happer discredits the negative effects of CO2 on the planet and whether or not climate change is man-made. He also goes into detail of why the United Nation’s models are incorrect despite their overwhelming confidence that significant warming is taking place due to human activity.

It snowed on December 19 in the Sahara Desert, and NASA's Landsat 7 satellite was there (or rather, hundreds of miles overhead) to see it.

The photo comes from Landsat 7's Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus visible-light camera, and depicts the first snowfall recorded in the massive African desert in 37 years.

Climate science is politicized from top to bottom. One of the nastier spats occurred in 2012 when Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) policy analyst Rand Simberg intemperately denounced Pennsylvania State University climate researcher Michael Mann as "the Jerry Sandusky of climate science."* Sandusky, of course, was the Nittany Lion football coach convicted of child molestation. Simberg was critiquing the fact that the Penn State had just exonerated Mann of accusations of scientific misconduct. Columnist Mark Steyn piled on in the National Review declaring that the university's "'investigation' by a deeply corrupt administration was a joke."*

Mann sued CEI, Simberg, Steyn and National Review for defamation. The defendants all moved that Mann's case be dismissed on grounds that their observations and opinions were protected by the free speech guarantees of the First Amendment.

This is only the second time in living memory that snow has fallen on the Sahara. The first time was in February 1979, also in Algeria

A new congressional investigation has determined that the Obama administration fired a top scientist and intimidated staff at the Department of Energy in order to further its climate change agenda, according to a new report that alleges the administration ordered top officials to obstruct Congress in order to forward this agenda.

Rep. Lamar Smith (R., Texas), chair of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, released a wide-ranging report on Tuesday that shows how senior Obama administration officials retaliated against a leading scientist and plotted ways to block a congressional inquiry surrounding key research into the impact of radiation.

A top DoE scientist who liaised with Congress on the matter was fired by the Obama administration for being too forthright with lawmakers, according to the report, which provides an in-depth look at the White House’s efforts to ensure senior staffers toe the administration’s line.

Temperatures fell to below freezing overnight, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a freeze warning for most of the Bay Area on Monday morning.

The persistent cold snap will continue through the day following bitter temperatures that dropped into the 20s in most areas overnight, forecasters said.

Experts say that solar activity as low as it currently is has not been seen since the mini-ice age that took place between 1645 and 1715 – a period known as the Maunder Minimum where the entire Thames froze over.

A new model has allowed experts to predict solar activity with more accuracy than ever before and it suggests that magnetic activity will fall by 60 per cent between 2030 and 2040.

The model looks at the Sun’s ’11-year heartbeat’ – the period it takes for magnetic activity to fluctuate. This cycle was first discovered some 173 years ago.

However, a mathematician has established a more up-to-date model that can forecast what the solar cycles will look like based upon dynamo effects in two layers of the Sun.

AN unseasonal cold snap, complete with summer snow in highland areas, caught Tasmanians by surprise over the weekend.

The numbers are in, and it looks like Utah set an all-time record for skier visits.

Ski Utah announced Thursday that the 2015-2016 ski season ended with a total of 4,457,575 skier days.

While Utah received some good snowfall this year, it wasn’t a record.

“We had a 5-foot storm over five days at Deer Valley, and I think it got up to 6 feet at Solitude. You can't ask for better timing there,” said Emily Summers, a Deer Valley Resort Communications Manager.

But ski industry leaders have plenty to celebrate.

Latest Arctic Report Card finds that region's temperatures continue upward climb twice as fast as global temperature increase

Light snow will continue tonight into Friday, with generally 1-4? of additional accumulation on top of the 3-6? that has already fallen. The mountains will see up to 10? of additional accumulation by about noon on Friday. Travelling is extremely difficult, and there have been numerous accidents across the area. Snow from this storm and previous storms is really piling up, and plowing/removal of the snow will take time. If you can, avoid travelling over the next couple of days.

Between the slippery roads and the dangerous cold, it would be prudent to limit the chances of getting in an accident. Temperatures tonight will fall below zero, with wind chill values down to -20 to -30.

A raft of excuses was offered for this decidedly non-hockey stick behavior – by November 2014, there were 66 different “explanations” to choose from. So this is what “settled science” looks like: we “just know” that the economy must be burdened with onerous and expensive regulations and smothered in new taxes (including this recently proposed obscenity), in order to avert an allegedly man-made future catastrophe. And just to be safe, “climate deniers” should be jailed or killed. We know the future, but we cannot even explain what has happened in the recent past. As a reminder: not a single alarmist prediction on the climate has come true – it is a forecasting record completely unblemished by success for decades. Not even economists are that bad.

Winter Storm Decima - prounced DEH-si-mah - is poised to deliver another cross-country mess of snow, strong winds and some ice impacting a large swath of the nation into the upcoming weekend.

The hills in Kashmir received fresh snowfall and night temperatures across the region dipped a day after people had respite from the intense cold.

Nearly 500 collisions have been reported in 24 hours in and around the GTA after the area’s first big snowfall, said the Ontario Provincial Police.

The winter weather caused flight cancellations and treacherous driving conditions across the region. TTC commuters didn’t fare much better, with a series of three subway closures causing nightmarish delays on the subway line downtown.

“It’s been one of those mornings,” said OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt.

A storm that dropped nearly a foot of snow across parts of metro Detroit Sunday, wreaked havoc on roads and caused hundreds of of school closures was one of the largest on record, according to the National Weather Service, which said a blast of dangerous arctic air will hit the region next.

More than 1,500 flights have been cancelled at Chicago and Detroit airports as a result of heavy snow, and more is set for large parts of the country in the coming days.

A blanket of snow swept over the Great Lakes and the Northeast during the winter storm, causing chaos at two of the nation's busiest airports.

The wintry weather mostly moved out of the Plains overnight on Saturday, pushing further into Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana.

Flight-tracking website FlightAware reported that 1,397 flights were canceled in Chicago's O'Hare and Midway airports — about half arrivals and half departures.

Donald Trump is poised to eliminate all climate change research conducted by Nasa as part of a crackdown on “politicized science”, his senior adviser on issues relating to the space agency has said.

Nasa’s Earth science division is set to be stripped of funding in favor of exploration of deep space, with the president-elect having set a goal during the campaign to explore the entire solar system by the end of the century.

Aussie Climate Enthusiast Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, member for Goldman Sachs, has walked back an apparent attempt to introduce a new Aussie Carbon Tax after his own MPs vigorously rebelled against the idea.

The Trump administration is well aware of the political use and scientific abuse of climate for a political agenda. I learned how aware while attending the Heritage Foundation Climate Conference on Thursday December 8 in Washington D.C. The majority of the public sense there is something wrong as reflected in their lack of concern measured in all polls. They will be very angry when the extent of the deception is explained to them, as will happen as the new administration lays out the foundation for their policies. The question is what happens going forward. We know those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Similarly, you cannot prevent all misuses of any system and trying to do so only makes it inefficient and even unworkable. Science must be central to whatever direction taken.

Here in the city of Abilene, as the season's interminable march into winter continues, cold weather seems to be more and more abundant.

However, today's cold weather has been set apart from previous chilly days this year. Because today's weather brought with it the rare, white, fluffy and decidedly cold form of precipitation known as snow, and Abilenians were surprised.

Hawaii News Now reports that the summits could get 20 to 30 inches of snow through Saturday.

About 10 “Keep It In The Ground” activists waved signs next to a busy road in the Denver area, calling for the Obama administration to stop issuing leases so companies can drill on public lands. Activists say drilling only exacerbates global warming.

The irony, however, is activists stood outside about 4 inches of snow with temperatures hovering in the 20s — in degrees Fahrenheit. The official low temperature was negative 10 degrees early Thursday morning, according to the National Weather Service.

Reaffirming the requirement that seminarians study Catholic social teaching, the document says the education must include a study of climate change and other environmental threats.

The National Weather Service in Duluth is forecasting the first widespread below zero temperatures by Saturday morning across much of the Northland, with highs only in the single digits.
