Record cold strikes again

OKLAHOMA CITY —Let's face it, Mother Nature can do some pretty nasty things. In this case, she's hitting us hard with cold. And not just any sort of cold, record cold!

It doesn't take a meteorologist to tell you that this April has been cold. Just how cold? Not only are we seeing record lows and even record cold high temperatures (that means the coldest high temperature), but we are on pace to have the coldest April on record.

Chicago - The coldest start ever to the wheat-growing season in Kansas and freezing weather across the southern Great Plains are compounding damage to U.S. crops already hurt by the worst drought since the 1930s.

"I'm going to assume 75 percent of my wheat froze" when temperatures dropped as low as 13 degrees Fahrenheit on April 10, said Gary Millershaski, who has been farming in southwestern Kansas for three decades and this year planted 2,800 acres of hard, red winter wheat on his land near Garden City. "It looks like someone sprayed a defoliant on it."

Amateur astrophotographer Rhys Harris of Bodmin, Cornwall, England sent in a photo of the March 2013 full moon. He writes: "I managed to snatch this image last night [March 27, 2013] in light polluted skies!" (Rhys Harris)

 

This month's full moon, which falls on Thursday (April 25), always reminds me of one of the first times I viewed the April full moon.

When I was very young boy living in New York, there was a popular television weathercaster by the name of Carol Reed. While not a meteorologist, she had an upbeat personality and always finished her reports with what became her personal catch phrase: "And have a happy!"

This contrast-enhanced, computer-processed image was produced from photos of Comet ISON taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope on April 10, 2013, when the comet was 386 million miles from the sun.

 

NASA's iconic Hubble Space Telescope has snapped stunning new photos of Comet ISON, which could become one of the brightest comets ever seen when it zips through the inner solar system this fall.

Hubble captured the new photos on April 10, when Comet ISON was slightly closer than Jupiter. At the time the icy wanderer was about 386 million miles from the sun and 394 million miles from Earth.

CLARKSVILLE, Mo.  -- Communities in Illinois and Missouri fought Tuesday to hold back surging rivers swollen by days of drenching rain, even as an approaching storm system threatened new downpours.

Floodwaters were rising to record levels along the Illinois River in central Illinois; roads and buildings were flooded and riverfront structures were inundated in Peoria Heights. Firefighters feared that if fuel from businesses and vehicles starts to leak, it could spark a fire in areas that could be reached only by boat.
