How much rain and snow did Colorado get during the 2023 water year?

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:58:31 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado entered a new water year on Oct. 1, and now we are getting a look at how extremes like the wet and stormy spring of 2023 impacted the whole year. Unlike a calendar year that starts over each January, the water runs from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30. During that time, most of the country saw abnormally warm temperatures. Across the United States, the 2022-2023 water year is now officially the 17th warmest on record. In Colorado, temperatures weren't quite as extreme. Record keeping goes back to 1896, and this year, Colorado reported its 60th warmest year. While this is a pretty middle-of-the-road ranking, it is the coolest Colorado water year since 2010.Along with temperatures, the end of the water year is also a time to look at precipitation. Colorado saw the 31st wettest year, out of 128 since record keeping began. In portions of Weld, Morgan, Boulder, Adams, Denver, Arapahoe, Washington, Elbert, Douglas, and El Paso counties there was record amounts of ...

Zoo Miami announces death of Sumatran tiger ‘Berani’

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:58:31 GMT

Zoo Miami announced the passing of “Berani,” a 15 ½-year-old Sumatran tiger. The announcement comes just one day after the zoo said he was in serious condition. According to the zoo, he was humanely euthanized after being diagnosed with cancer of the spleen. Berani had been showing signs of lethargy and loss of appetite, prompting a series of examinations and tests at the zoo’s Animal Hospital, Zoo Miami said in a news release. Zoo officials said preliminary findings indicated severe anemia, dehydration, an enlarged spleen, and kidney abnormalities. Further tests confirmed the diagnosis of cancer of the spleen, and due to his advanced age and poor prognosis, the decision was made to euthanize him, zoo officials said.Born in March 2008 at the San Francisco Zoo, Berani came to Zoo Miami in 2013 as part of a Species Survival Plan (SSP) recommendation. He successfully sired a male and a female cub during his time at the zoo.According to officials, Sumatran tigers are c...

Dolphins coach McDaniel tries to downplay Chiefs clash in Germany. LT Terron Armstead could return

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:58:31 GMT

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel was a history major but is applying math skills to try to downplay the significance of Sunday’s heavily anticipated matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Germany.McDaniel suggested on Friday that beating the Chiefs at Deutsche Bank Park would merely amount to a “cool regular season win,” even though there are potential AFC playoff implications in a clash of two 6-2 teams.“Quite literally, this is one-17th of the season. That’s how important it is,” he said at a press conference before practice. “If it was Major League Baseball, it would be 10 games. That would be five games in the NBA.”It’s most important to progress through the season, he added.“Does seven wins get you into the playoffs? Probably not,” McDaniel said.The Chiefs have marketing rights in Germany and are hoping to win over local fans, but McDaniel is doing a pretty good job with an international charm offensi...

Italy’s government approves reform boosting prime minister’s powers

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:58:31 GMT

The Italian government on Friday approved plans for a constitutional reform that would significantly boost the prime minister’s powers — a major overhaul in a country with a traditionally weak head of government.The proposal from Giorgia Meloni’s government, which still requires approval from both houses of parliament and could lead to a referendum, would allow the prime minister to be directly elected by the Italian people for a five-year term, instead of being nominated by the president.“This is the mother of all reforms,” Prime Minister Meloni said in a press conference.The proposed bill, Meloni added, aims to ensure “stability” and “guarantee that those who govern are chosen by the people.”Italy’s prime minister has a traditionally weak role by design. After the Second World War, the country’s modern founding fathers instituted a series of checks and balances aimed at preventing the concentration of power into the hands...

Israel will keep bombing Gaza with ‘all of its power,’ Netanyahu says after Blinken calls for pause

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:58:31 GMT

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netayahu rejected Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s calls for a humanitarian pause shortly after the latter’s press conference on Friday, saying Israel will continue to bombard the Gaza Strip with “all of its power.”Blinken told reporters in Israel that during a meeting with Netanyahu earlier that day, he urged Israel to pursue a pause in fighting and gave advice about how to minimize Palestinian civilian deaths while targeting Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.Netanyahu soon after said, during his own press conference, that Israel “refuses a temporary cease-fire that doesn’t include a return of our hostages.” Over 200 hostages were taken by Hamas following the militant group’s surprise attack on Israeli soil on Oct. 7 that killed 1,400 people.It’s the latest sign of stark disagreement between the two allies, as the Biden administration has in recent weeks called for restraint from Israel as it continues a massive airstrike campaign on the Gaza Stri...
