From late Thursday into early Friday, an area of low pressure is expected to move across the northern tier of the U.S. into the Great Lakes before tracking eastward into New England. This system will spread snow across the Great Lakes and into the Northeast, affecting portions of the I-95 corridor. A fast-moving clipper system is expected to bring additional snow to a region that is already well above its winter average. It comes after a historic winter storm dropped snow accumulations in the double digits for much of the Northeast.The FOX Forecast Center said an active weather pattern will…
A federal agent in Minnesota grabbed a woman’s phone as it recorded him approaching her Jan. 9, two days after a federal agent shot a U.S. citizen. “Have y’all not learned from the past couple of days?” the agent asked the woman. Weeks later in Maine, a woman let her phone camera roll as an agent filmed her license plate and told her her name would be added to a database and she was now considered a domestic terrorist. “For videotaping you?” the woman asked. “Are you crazy?” And on Jan. 29, a Minnesota driver with a dash cam filmed…

Amid a winter of relentless Arctic conditions, the most powerful polar punch of the season is expected this week across the Northeast, with dangerous wind chill temperatures approaching 25 degrees below zero in some places. Powerful winds of the northwest will usher in air associated with the polar vortex. National Weather Service (NWS) offices are keeping a close eye on the weather setup and could issue Extreme Cold Warnings — rarely seen in the Northeast. NEW YORK – Amid a winter of relentless Arctic conditions, the most powerful polar punch of the season is expected this week across the Northeast, with…
When U.S. President Donald Trump introduced his “5 percent doctrine,” referring to his demand that NATO allies spend 5 percent of their GDP on defense and security by 2035, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte called it a “transformational leap.” Indeed, the alliance’s own practice is to assess allied contributions primarily through a fixed percentage of GDP devoted to defense spending. But while this measure may be politically expedient, on its own it is far from sufficient to strengthen allies’ military capabilities. In countries where the perception of military threat is low and the armed forces play a marginal role in domestic…
From NYT today “Former Farming Leaders Warn U.S. Agriculture Could Face ‘Widespread Collapse’”: While there are many reasons for increasing farm bankruptcies and decreasing profits“it is clear that the current administration’s actions, along with congressional inaction, have increased costs for farm inputs, disrupted overseas and domestic markets, denied agriculture its reliable labor pool, and defunded critical ag research and staffing,” the letter warned. Here are some indicators describing the dire straits the ag sector is in, deteriorating relative to the situation I outlined back in October (EconoFact). First, farmer sentiment collapses, from 136 in December to 116 in January. Source:…
The 18-year-old striker was the only signing Spurs made in the final hours of the January transfer window Derek McInnes believes James Wilson would have been better served remaining at Hearts rather than joining Tottenham’s Under-21 side on deadline day. The 18-year-old Scotland international completed a surprise loan move to Spurs until the end of the season, with the agreement including an option for the Premier League club to make the deal permanent. Arsenal had also shown interest before Tottenham moved late to secure his signature. Wilson has scored eight goals in 45 appearances since breaking into Hearts’ first team…
A major change in the weather pattern over North America is ahead. While much of the eastern U.S. has been frozen by rounds of Arctic air and snow, the West has remained unseasonably warm, which has left many mountain ranges in a snow drought. That is expected to change by mid-month, as a shift in the jet stream will open the door for numerous storms to bring snow and rain to the West Coast and Rockies. Additionally, this shift in the jet stream will shield the East from the worst of the polar vortex, which will retreat farther north than…
