"Don't Plant Yet": Spring Freeze Inbound
Weather agencies and experienced growers are issuing Americans a word of caution: "don’t plant yet".
Speaking to Alabama, Tuscaloosa Chief Meteorologist James Spann said: "Another late-season freeze is likely over the northern half of the state ... with lows in the 25-35 degree range. Some frost is possible across South Alabama."
This is the first injection of polar air, before a fiercer mass drops down next week, as per latest GFS runs (but great uncertainty remains, the models really don't know their arse from their elbow at this point: it's gonna get cold, is the takeaway):
Heavy Snow Hits Colorado
A major storm is currently dumping feet of snow on Colorado, forcing flight cancellations and shutting down a key highway.
The storm, which began Wednesday night, isn't expected to wind down until Friday.
The higher elevations had received 3+ feet by Thursday evening, with another 2 foot forecast by Friday morning. Denver itself received about 8 inches Thursday, with another 10 inches on the cards.
A stretch of Interstate 70 was closed in the Colorado mountains, following numerous reports of vehicles stranded on the highway for hours. The Colorado State Patrol urged people to stay off the roads: "Troopers are getting stuck trying to get to all the stranded motorists,” the patrol posted on X.
Schools and offices were also closed.
And some 75,000 Coloradans went without power Thursday.

While an overall boon to Colorado’s ski industry, the extreme conditions have temporarily shut down several ski resorts.
Loveland Ski Area announced that it is closed. The other is Eldora Mountain "because the plow and grader can’t penetrate the snow slides across Shelf Road". According to an area announcement, there’s at least a day’s worth of work needed.
This is the first time in over 20 years that Eldora has closed due to snow. The last time being in 2003, around St. Patrick's Day.
More snow is expected, and police are urging Coloradans to stay home.
This is the reality.
But to combat 'catastrophic global heating', the US government is ready to publish new EPA regulations, effectively banning most gas and diesel-powered cars in only 8 years from now, even though the public has resoundingly rejected them:
That's democracy for you.
That's also the power of disorientating and demoralizing a public, and scaring it senseless, it allows you to feed it nonsense in the knowledge that a great many trusting souls will buy up. Nonsense such as 'warming is deadly' and 'carbon dioxide is poison'.
But the truth remains. And people are waking to it.
"We're in a CO2 famine now," says Princeton Professor Emeritus William Happer on SkyNews Australia. "More CO2 is good for the world."
