Dallas Weather Is a Mess; Ice and Snow Close DFW Airport, Schools, Offices [VIDEOS]
By David Knowles - AOL NewsThe Midwest isn't the only place suffering from a brush with the snowpocalypse. In Dallas, a morning ice storm resulted in a veritable shutdown of the city, the Dallas Morning News reported. With schools, the courts, public transportation, DFW airport and numerous roads all being shut down for a portion of the day, some Super Bowl fans had to wonder why this year's game couldn't have been held in Miami. With Chicago expected to get upward of 2 feet of snow, a couple of inches of ice might not seem like such a newsworthy event, but this is Dallas we're talking about, where most cars aren't ...
Yet Another Snowstorm? What About Global Warming?
By Paul Yeager - AOL NewsA massive snowstorm is slamming America's midsection -- again. New York City just set a record for January snowfall. The South has experienced bitter cold, snow and ice this winter. If the Earth is getting warmer, why's it so darn snowy and cold? Are the U.S. winter extremes proof that global warming isn't happening or is even a hoax, as some skeptics suggest? Or are the winter extremes a product of a warming atmosphere, as many climate change advocates assert? While opinions about climate change vary greatly, even among experts in climate science, the consensus is that short-range weather ...
Snow, Sleet, Freezing Rain Ice Over Northeast Roads
By not in system - AOL NewsNEW YORK -- A mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain iced over roads, driveways and sidewalks from Delaware up into New England on Tuesday, making for a slippery and messy morning commute. Patricia Ricciardi, 49, used a tissue to wipe sludge off the cuffs of her slacks in a south Philadelphia subway station as she headed downtown to work at her city job. "I don't want to go to work looking like I came from a garage instead," she said. "It's disgusting." Mel Evans, AP Tree branches were encrusted in ice Tuesday in Newtown Township, Pa. Freezing rain made roads slick throughout the ...
Fists Fly but Not Much Else in Iced Moscow Airports
By Theunis Bates - AOL News(Dec. 29) -- New York's airports aren't the only ones dealing with backlogs from bad weather. Consider Moscow. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin slammed airport bosses today for leaving up to 20,000 passengers stranded for four days, after Moscow's main terminals were forced to shut down following an ice storm. Freezing rains covered runways and jets with a thick layer of ice over the weekend, causing a 14-hour blackout on Sunday at Moscow's largest airport, Domodedovo. That power failure left passengers waiting for their flights in the dark, with no information as to when their planes ...
Winter Storm Brings Snow, Travel Woes
By not in system - AOL NewsUpdated Dec 25 12:23 PM EST | NASHVILLE, Tenn. - With a rare white Christmas in parts of the Southeast and snow predicted for the nation's Capital, airlines canceled hundreds of flights and urged travelers to rethink their plans, while travel authorities warned of potentially dangerous roads. After blanketing sections of the Midwest and hampering motorists there on Christmas Eve, the storm dipped south late Friday. Winter weather advisories were in effect Saturday morning from Arkansas to the Carolinas and from West Virginia to central Alabama. Much of North Carolina was under a winter storm ...
Wild Things Happen to Wildlife Filmmakers
By David Moye - AOL News(Sept. 7) -- If you want to live a wild life, being a wildlife filmmaker is just the ticket. Just ask Jon Bowermaster, who has directed, written or produced a number of films about nature for clients including National Geographic over the past 12 years. The job requires technical know-how, and other abilities as well. "You really need a high level of outdoor skills," he told AOL News recently. "Whenever you see a great diving shot of someone risking their life, there is a cameraman doing something even more dangerous to get the shot. This is a job that requires someone to be adept at ...
Barack Obama Doesn't Care About White Southerners
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyIt's the Kanye West test, you see. Where is FEMA? That's the question rural southerners are asking. Or would be asking if their lips weren't frozen shut. At least 42 people have died, including 11 in Kentucky, and conditions are worsening in many places days after an ice storm knocked out power to 1.3 million customers from the Plains to the East Coast. About a million people were still without electric Friday, and with no hope that the lights will come back on soon, small communities are frantically struggling to help their residents. The death toll may be higher already, Grayson County ...
