FUN FACT:
The historic #winter #storm along the #GulfCoast is one for the record books.
Just to put it in perspective for us in the #Northland, one of the highest #snowfall total from it is more than what some western #GreatLakes and #NorthernPlains cities have seen so far this season!
These researchers asked 'what do we know now' as a way to direct future science inquiries.

Anyone working in U.S. grasslands—land managers, Tribal leaders, hunters, farmers, and ranchers—knows these ecosystems have been changing quickly. Increasing temperatures, drought, fire, altered wildlife migrations, and other impacts of climate change have taken a toll, leading to a future of uncertainty. In response, a research team led by CU Boulder-based North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center (NC CASC) set out to synthesize all we know about these key ecosystems.

Major #WinterStorm to bring heavy snow and an icy wintry mix to much of the northern U.S. next week
• A major winter storm will spread a large swath of heavy snow from the West Coast to the #UpperMidwest Monday through Thursday of next week.
• The combination of heavy snow and gusty winds will likely result in widespread hazardous travel and cause impacts to infrastructure.
• While subtle shifts in storm track are possible, confidence is increasing that this winter storm will be extremely disruptive in affected areas.
• Very cold temperatures are likely from the #WestCoast into the #NorthernPlains behind this system, with record lows possible. The potential also exists for a flash freeze in portions of the northern #Rockies on Tuesday.
• Additionally, a heavy wintry mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain may impact the #GreatLakes and #Northeast later next week. /ID]
