While some areas of Colorado received just a few inches of snow, the impact was still felt across the region Tuesday morning. Roads were slick and icy Tuesday morning, leading to dozens of school delays across the Denver metro area. Cherry Creek Schools, Jeffco Public Schools, Englewood Schools, Littleton Public Schools, Platte Canyon District 1, Douglas County School District and the Elizabeth School District were among the schools with delayed starts on Tuesday.

Airline passengers should prepare for possible impacts to their flights Wednesday as a dynamic combination of weather could lead to delays or – if you are traveling in the right direction – an earlier arrival time. The FOX Forecast Center is monitoring flights across the eastern U.S. on Wednesday. The powerful, dynamic system moving across the region will be driven by an uncommonly strong jet stream, which could see speeds top nearly 150 mph high up in the atmosphere.

Since 1980, the rainy season in Brazil's Cerrado region has dragged on for 36 days, with rainfall falling by almost 37 percent and average temperatures rising by 1.5 °C, jeopardizing sustainable soybean and maize crops. The scientists linked this to the destruction of natural vegetation - the first time they have been able to separate the contribution of deforestation from the effects of global climate change. The work is published in the journal Nature Sustainability.
