That’s not a storm over Las Vegas. It’s a grasshopper invasion. (Washington Post) Grasshoppers are storming Las Vegas--and showing up like a rainstorm on weather radar. Radar footage from the National Weather Service shows two masses: a rainstorm north of Las Vegas and a host of living organisms above the city, Weather Service meteorologist Clay Morgan told The Washington Post.

Guatemala’s migrant pact with the U.S. threatens to unleash a political crisis (Washington Post) In pressuring Guatemala to accept a deal to absorb vast numbers of asylum seekers, the Trump administration has embarked on a dramatic and risky strategy to slash the number of Central Americans flooding the U.S. border. The accord--which was negotiated in secret and signed at the White House on Friday--could plunge Guatemala’s young democracy into a constitutional crisis, analysts warn. It could also saddle one of the hemisphere’s poorest countries with tens of thousands of Salvadoran and Honduran migrants who would be barred from making their claims in the United States. But the agreement is built on a fragile political and legal base. The Guatemalan Constitutional Court ruled earlier this month that President Jimmy Morales needed approval from the Guatemalan Congress to sign the accord, something he has not received.

Protesters clashed with riot police on Saturday and Sunday, leading to more than 60 arrests. Government officials say the violence has caused serious damage to the semi-autonomous city’s international image, rule of law, and the lives of residents. CBS News correspondent Ramy Inocencio, who has been covering the protests for two months, said Monday was the first time China’s central government held a press conference on affairs in Hong Kong since the city returned to Chinese rule in 1997.

Israel invests in high-tech upgrades at West Bank crossings (AP) It’s just after 6 a.m. and a Palestinian man’s face is momentarily bathed in crimson light, not by the sun rising over the mountains of Jordan, but by a facial recognition scanner at an Israeli checkpoint near Jerusalem. The Israeli military has installed the face scanners as part a multimillion dollar upgrade of the Qalandia crossing that now allows Palestinians from the West Bank with work permits to zip through with relative ease. But while the high-tech upgrades may have eased entry for Palestinians going to Israel for work, critics say they are a sign of the ossification of Israel’s 52-year occupation of the West Bank and slam the military’s use of facial recognition technology as problematic.

Excerpt from this EcoWatch story:

One person died and tens of thousands lost power as the second "bomb cyclone" in a month brought snow and wind to the central U.S. Wednesday and Thursday.

The storm dumped snow on Colorado Wednesday, canceling hundreds of flights at Denver International Airport before moving through the plains to the upper Midwest, where it covered some parts of the region with up to two feet of snow, the Associated Press reported. Heavy snow fell in Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Minnesota and Wisconsin, The Independent reported. Whiteout conditions were also reported in parts of Nebraska and Kansas, according to the Associated Press.

"We're calling it historic because of the widespread heavy snow," South Dakota meteorologist Mike Connelly told the Chicago Tribune, as The Independent reported. "We will set some record."

The storm claimed at least one life when a Colorado man lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a snow plow, AccuWeather reported.

The weather site projected the storm would cost $3 billion in economic damages. It led to road closures and forced the cancellation of almost 1,000 flights across the region. Conditions prompted Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to declare a state of emergency Thursday night.

Colorado state climatologist Russ Schumacher told CBS News that it was unusual to see two such extreme storms in close succession, but it was not possible to say if climate change was responsible.

"I think it's an interesting question to ask whether there's some climate change fingerprint on this," he said. "But it's a complicated puzzle to piece together."

However, in general global warming has increased both heavy rainfall and flooding in the Midwest as warmer air can hold more moisture, which means storms pour harder, the National Climate Assessment concluded.

Fox News’s Janice Dean Accuses NBC of Censoring Cuomo Criticism

On Twitter this weekend, Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean accused NBC News and anchor Lester Holt of censoring a friend of hers who had a pointed message about New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in a recent segment. According to Dean, the producers of the segment demanded that her friend change the nature of her criticism if she wanted to appear on the broadcast.

The segment, which addressed the bombshell news that nursing home coronavirus deaths were undercounted by thousands in New York, addressed a new investigation by the state’s attorney general.  

“So NBC News’ Lester Holt censored one of my friends who lost a loved one in a nursing home,” Dean tweeted. “She wanted to say ‘Andrew Cuomo failed us’ in the interview and they told her to say ‘New York failed us’ instead. The mainstream is still protecting this guy. Disgusting.”

Dean said that both Holt and Cuomo were a “disgrace.”

“The governor, his administration, and his health department failed us,” Dean concluded.

Dean has plenty of reason to be personally angry about Cuomo’s handling of the virus as she lost both of her in-laws in New York nursing homes to the pandemic. She was also unimpressed with the governor’s attempt to sympathize with those who lost their parents to his virus mismanagement.

“The pain is so incredible and inexplicable,” he said, invoking the loss of his own father, Mario Cuomo. “It’s tragedy.”

This fell somewhat flat, however, seeing as how Mario Cuomo died in 2015 for causes unrelated to COVID.

“His father didn’t die in a nursing home thanks to his son ordering Covid positive patients into their facility,” Dean tweeted.

Cuomo has also come under fire for his very Hillary Clinton-esque response to critics bashing him for the false nursing home numbers.

“Who cares?” he said last week. “Died in a hospital, died in a nursing home, they died.”

We can only imagine what the media backlash would look like if Donald Trump said something to that effect.

As illustrated in Dean’s story, however, the MSM is still heavily invested in protecting their pandemic hero. To turn around now and say, whoops, looks like he actually botched the hell out of it would make them look just as silly as they did after pushing the Russian conspiracy theory for two years. You’d think these lessons would begin to pile up and have an effect over time, but we don’t see any indication that it’s happening. Indeed, their glowing coverage of President Biden seems to show that, if anything, the whole damn industry is getting worse instead of better.

More than 200 fires have burned roughly 12 million acres, forcing more than 100,000 residents and tourists to flee in one of the largest evacuations in Australia's history. At least 19 people have died. Navy ships helped evacuate hundreds of people from beaches along the country's southeastern coast. Just a couple of weeks ago, Australia hit 107 degrees for the average temperature, breaking a past record by 3 degrees. "As a meteorologist, that is remarkable, almost seems like it's not possible, but it happened. The drought is due in part to a typical weather pattern called the Indian Ocean Dipole. It's kind of like El Nino and La Nina. It goes back and forth over the course of years. The unprecedented conditions that have led to the devastating wildfires in Australia stem from a typical weather pattern that has been intensified by climate change. And the fire danger is expected to get worse in the future”- CBS News meteorologist and climate specialist Jeff Berardell. Tens of thousands of Australians are fleeing their homes as hundreds of fires rage across the continent’s southeast coast. Since 1996 successive conservative Australian governments have successfully fought to subvert international agreements on climate change in defense of the country’s fossil fuel industries.

Polar vortex claims eight lives as US cold snap continues

Media captionChicago is using fire to melt snow on the railway and keep the trains running

At least eight people have died in the US Midwest as the region shivers in the grip of its worst cold snap in decades.

An Iowa student found dead outside a college building is among victims of the deadly freeze.

Hospitals have been treating patients reporting frostbite as life across a swathe of the nation grinds to a halt.

The iciest blasts may still come on Thursday. Ninety million people – a third of the US – have seen temperatures of -17C (0F) or below.

Some 250 million Americans overall have experienced the “polar vortex” conditions, but southern states such as Florida have escaped the brutal chill.

How did the fatalities occur?

University of Iowa student Gerald Belz, 18, was found unresponsive behind a campus building before dawn on Wednesday and later died in hospital. Officials said weather was a factor

A 70-year-old man in Detroit, Michigan, was found dead in front of a neighbour’s home on Wednesday

Another Michigan man in his 70s was found frozen to death in his neighbourhood. Officials said he was “inadequately dressed for the weather” and was probably disoriented

On Tuesday, 55-year-old Charley Lampley froze to death in a garage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, having “apparently collapsed after shovelling snow”, according to a medical examiner

An 82-year-old man in Pekin, Illinois, died from hypothermia after apparently falling outside his home on Tuesday

A 75-year-old man was fatally struck by a snow plough near Chicago on Monday. The driver has since been placed on paid leave pending an investigation, according to WGN9 News

What’s the forecast?

Thursday could see America’s third largest city of Chicago breaking its 1985 record low of -32C (-25F), according to meteorologists.

The chill is drifting eastward on Thursday, bringing sub-zero temperatures to Northeastern cities such as Boston.

Areas downwind of the Great Lakes are expected to be buried by intense lake-effect snow lakes into Thursday night.

How to survive extreme cold

The region near Buffalo, New York, should see the heaviest snowfall. Snow could fall at rates of 3in-5in (7cm-12cm) per hour.

The icy cold is expected to loosen its grip on Friday.

Media captionSo what actually is a polar vortex…?

With wind chill factored in, the Midwest and Great Lakes have felt temperatures closer to -40C (-40F) and -53C (-63F), which is enough to cause frostbite in under five minutes.

But by the end of the weekend, Chicago could see temperatures as high as 10C (50F).

“It’s going to be at least a 60-degree swing for Chicago,” David Hamrick, a National Weather Service forecaster, told Reuters news agency.

How is the cold snap affecting daily life?

The Arctic weather could cost the US billions of dollars. In 2014, a similar polar freeze cost the country an estimated $5bn (£3.8bn), CBS News reported.

In Minnesota, residents have been asked by natural gas company Xcel Energy to reduce their home thermostats to 17C (63F) in order to help the company handle heating demands.

A guide to surviving a polar vortex

Michigan residents have had similar requests from their utility companies as providers struggle to keep the states warm.

Detroit, Michigan, has had more than two dozen water mains freeze over this week. A city spokesman told the Associated Press the pipes were installed up to 1.8m below the frost line, but with such drastically low temperatures, the ground has still frozen through.

Media captionHow to keep warm? Tips from cold countries

The US Postal Service has suspended all mail deliveries for the second day to parts of six states.

Over 2,300 flights have been cancelled and another 3,500 delayed due to the polar vortex.

As ice and snow continue to build up, roads have become increasingly dangerous across the northern US.

At least two people were critically injured in a 27-car pile-up on icy roads in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania.

Twenty-one vehicles, including a lorry, were involved in a pile-up in Buffalo, New York, during a snow storm on Wednesday. Officials have not released details on any injuries, WKBW News reported.

It is reported that the lorry should not have been on the road at the time, due to a weather-related ban.

In Minnesota, prison visits were cancelled over the cold, according to the New York Times.

How cold is Chicago?

The Illinois city became a frozen ghost town after temperatures fell to -30C (-22F), colder than parts of Antarctica. But as Chicago is forecast to warm up to a balmy -6C (43F) later on Thursday, many residents will have to prepare to return to work.

A Good Samaritan paid for 70 homeless Chicagoans to stay in a hotel as temperatures dropped.

Salvation Army spokeswoman Jacqueline Rachev told the Washington Post: “It’s a deadly situation for anyone. We’re thrilled that someone was in a position to be able to do this.”

Most of the thousands of cancelled flights this week were coming out of Chicago’s airports – O’Hare International is ranked as one of the top 10 busiest airports in the world.

Amtrak also cancelled all trains into Chicago on Wednesday, affecting 55 trains, and said most would be cancelled on Thursday as well.

As the Midwestern city is one of the company’s hubs, train service nationwide could also be impacted.

The chill was even too much for Chicago’s Disney on Ice show, which cancelled its Wednesday performance.

More than 600 local schools have shut, keeping 360,000 students at home.

What about Canada?

Most of Canada was under some sort of weather warning – from extreme cold in the Prairies, Quebec and Ontario to heavy snows in Alberta and Nova Scotia.

In Toronto, where winters tend to be milder compared to cities such as Montreal and Ottawa, temperatures had plummeted to -18C (0F). Icy roads and several transit delays made for a hellish commute for millions of the city’s residents.

Environment Canada issued extreme cold warnings for most parts of Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba, urging residents to limit their exposure to cold and keep pets indoors.

“If it’s too cold for you to stay outside, it’s too cold for your pet to stay outside,” the weather agency warned.

Advocates expressed concern for homeless people living in cities hit by the extreme temperatures.

In Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba, temperatures were a frigid -40C (-40F), with wind chill factors making it feel like -50C (-58F).

“If you don’t get it in December, you will get it in January or February or March. What do you expect? It’s ‘Winterpeg’,” Caroline Rodriguez told the CBC, in reference to the city’s nickname.

In Calgary, Alberta, temperatures were a relatively balmy -3C (27F), but were expected to plummet overnight and through the weekends.

In parts of rural northern Alberta, 15in of snow were expected to fall.

My local CBS affiliate totally kicks ass.

ABC and NBC are covering the GOP malfeasance update, but CBS has local news on.

Excellent work.

And it's a shame, I've been a fan of ABC since I was a kid watching WPVI in Philadelphia. But Orlando really let me down on 2/3 of the big networks.

On the other hand I don't like CBSs weather guy.

Don Imus, who hosted the popular and long-running Imus in the Morning radio show, died at the age of 79, multiple outlets have reported.

The broadcasting veteran, known for his blunt personality and cowboy hat, was hospitalized on Christmas Eve and passed away Friday morning at Baylor Scott and White Medical Center in College Station, Texas, according to The Hollywood Reporter. His cause of death was not immediately announced.

Imus is survived by his wife, Deirdre; daughters Nadine, Ashley, Elizabeth and Toni; and sons Wyatt and Lt. Zachary Don Cates, the outlet reported.

“Don loved and adored Deirdre, who unconditionally loved him back,” the family said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “ loved spending his time watching Wyatt become a highly-skilled, champion rodeo rider and calf roper, and loved and supported Zachary, who first met the Imus family at age 10 when he participated in the Imus Ranch program for kids with cancer, having battled and overcome leukemia, eventually becoming a member of the Imus family and Don and Deirdre’s second son.”

While Imus made a name for himself for his shocking commentary over his five-decade-long career, he drew criticism in 2007 when he made racist comments on his show about the Rutgers University’s women’s basketball team.

He was fired by CBS Radio soon after.

RELATED: Janice Dean Claims Don Imus Pointed Gun at Coworker & Roger Ailes Asked Her: ‘How Are You at Phone Sex?’

“From the outset, I believe all of us have been deeply upset and revulsed by the statements that were made on our air about the young women who represented Rutgers University in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship with such class, energy and talent,” then CBS President and Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves said in a statement, in response to Imus calling members of the team “nappy-headed hos.”

Imus apologized for the comment, and during an appearance on the Rev. Al Sharpton’s radio show, he called the remark a joke that “went way too far.”

Despite the controversy, Imus continued in radio until he retired in March of last year.

In Fox and Friends meteorologist Janice Dean’s 2019 memoir, Mostly Sunny: How I Learned To Keep Smiling Through the Rainiest Days, she accused Imus of harassment while working on his radio show in 2002.

RELATED: Don Imus Fired By CBS Radio

Dean claimed Imus regularly called her “an idiot, stupid, useless,” and a “moron,” and repeatedly told her to lose weight. She also alleged that Imus carried a gun and once “pointed his gun a few feet away from the back of the traffic reporter’s head.”

Imus spoke to CBS News last year of his career as a shock jock, which saw him be fired at least four times over 50 years.

“I wasn’t trying to be outrageous,” he said. “It’s just the way I thought. My feeling was then, and is now, that if they didn’t like what I did, get somebody else to do it.”

When asked if he had any regrets, Imus told the network, “A few, the Rutgers thing I regret … ‘Cause I knew better.”
