Winter Storm Fern swept across much of the nation Saturday but weather watchers say we haven’t seen the worst of the storm yet. That’s because roads had become icy Saturday, causing an increase in traffic accidents, but the ice hadn’t reached the point where it was causing trees and power lines to snap.
That’s much more likely to happen in the early hours Sunday, and continuing to spread through the day. We’ll see the damage from these widespread outages as the weekend winds down, particularly in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and the Piedmont region of North Carolina.
We’ll also see the heaviest snowfall on Sunday. A band along the Ohio River, from Louisville through the Cincinnati area, is expected to pick up about a foot of snow. Heavier totals will fall from Pennsylvania into New York and points farther east. The Mid Atlantic and New England states could see 12 to 18 inches of snow.
So far, air traffic has been more impacted than ground travel. Some 16,000 flights have been canceled over the next three days. Here’s more from meteorologist Max Velocity.
Even more of the United States is now coming under extreme winter weather warnings. The warnings stretch more than 2000 miles, from Santa Fe in the Rockies all the way east and north to Boston along the Atlantic coastal shores.
Heaviest snowfall totals are projected for the Mid Atlantic states as well as the Midwest states lining the Ohio River — Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois onto Missouri. Heavy snow will fall between I-40 and I-70, with the Midwest states likely receiving at least a foot of snow. Snowfall totals will increase as the storm — dubbed Winter Storm Fern — approaches the Atlantic Ocean, entering Pennsylvania, New York and New England. The snow could pile up as much as two feet in some locales.
The South won’t get whacked by snow, but faces potentially deadly ice storms that could bring down grown trees and powerlines, while sending citizens shivering in homes reeling without energy. The ice will stretch eastward from Texas and Oklahoma, encompassing much of Arkansas, Tennessee and Georgia, including the city of Atlanta. Snow already began falling Friday night in the Texas Panhandle, with expectations for ice to slam into Dallas and Tulsa.
Brutal cold weather will aggravate conditions as winds from Canada push chilling temperatures southward. The storm will linger through Sunday, although cold weather will remain entrenched over much of this vast region on Monday and Tuesday. So travel isn’t advised. Best to hunker down at home, and be sure to have supplies of food, water, batteries and life-saving gear.
Here’s a short, but comprehensive report from CBS News. Best to check your local stations for up-to-the-minute news and forecasts for your vicinity.
When It Snows in Texas. Here’s an iconic look at a Panhandle panic from the cartoon King of the Hill. The town of Arlen doesn’t exist, but it’s based on King of the Hill creator Mike Judge’s memories of growing up in Texas, and specifically, the suburbs around Dallas and Ft. Worth.
The winter storm brewing for this weekend could be the worst weather event we’ve seen across the United States in more than a decade. Ryan Hall says the storm will bring dangerous ice to the South and blanket much of the Midwest and Northeast with a heavy coat of snow this weekend. As many as 30 states are likely to be affected.
Evidence of the storm will be visible first across Texas and Oklahoma, beginning Friday but gaining in intensity overnight through Saturday. Ice storms will wreak those states as well as Arkansas. North of that, there will be intense snowfalls, from Missouri east to New York and Connecticut.
Arctic air will follow with life-threatening wind chills throughout the continental United States. Here’s more from Ryan Hall, Y’all.
The New York Post publishes their latest hit piece on me, Tim Pool rants about my security again, and I sat down with Erika Kirk in Nashville. Here’s more from Candace Owens.
How do Erika Kirk’s gigantic rings factor into the missile espionage now occurring across the United States? Is Erika supposed to distract us from the swindling that’s at hand. For decades now, Israeli spies have been playing us like suckers, tying to steal and sell us back our own technology. Isn’t it time we shut these clowns down?
Here, George Webb paints a broad portrait of the subterfuge at hand. It involves not only the Israelis, but also U.S. defense contractors who are making tons of money. But they want to make oodles more — endlessly. The states where the drama plays out — Utah, Arkansas, Nebraska and Tennessee — indicate more precisely the nature of the real game going on.
Webb discusses the particular contractors. as well as the foreign interlopers, aligned together in this terrorist wing of the military-industrial complex. These shameless entities have their own hit squads that they use, when needed, to press their claims. How many individuals like Charlie Kirk have these fiends killed? What roles have they played in our long and sordid line of dark political assassinations?
George Webb returns with more evidence suggesting the political assassination of Charlie Kirk involved darker elements than most of us have imagined. In this update, Webb relays how the Egyptian spy planes following around Erika and/or Charlie Kirk made frequent stops in four states — Nebraska, Tennessee, Utah and Arkansas. What do those states share in common?
They are all linked to metals, chemicals and rare earth elements involved in arming nuclear missiles and other advanced tools used in the defense of the nation.
Here’s how Webb describes the four stops on his substack.
Where did they land?
Nebraska — Warren Buffett territory, home of Duncan Aviation, retrofitting center for electronic warfare pods.
Tennessee — Bill Lee’s turf, where Oak Ridge and Clinch River sit like sleeping dragons of nuclear metallurgy.
Arkansas — Huckabee world, rare-earth corridors near the old bauxite routes.
This might be a tough nut for folks to swallow, but Webb presents considerable megadata, and touches upon some of the biggest defense outfits around, as well as new players in the game — the Rales family. They are involved in defense and health industries, as well as a famous art museum and even a football team — the Washington Commanders.
Meet Aftyn Behn, the latest Democrat trying to flip Tennessee into the arrogant, leftist column. Behn is running for U.S. Congress in Tennessee’s 7th District in a special election scheduled for next Tuesday, Dec. 2.
She thinks she ought to represent the district — covering a wide swatch of territory west of Nashville — after she had been recorded, saying, “I hate the city, I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music, I hate all of the things that apparently make Nashville an ‘it’ city to the rest of the country.”
In short, she “doesn’t seem to have a great fondness for her home,” as Brett Cooper notes here.
U.S. Rep. Tim Burchett, a Tennessee Republican, says would-be Trump assassin Thomas Crooks was an MK-Ultra victim programmed by the CIA. The congressman says the CIA never abandoned its controversial MK-Ultra program. He believes the agency is still using it to train and try to remove politicians the agency doesn’t like.
Crooks died in a blaze of gunfire after he attacked President Donald Trump from a rooftop perch, and winged Trump’s ear. This happened as Trump was delivering a campaign address on July 13 2024 in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“They label you or me a conspiracy theorist. But this is exactly what happens,” Burchett tells Benny Johnson.
