‘Mindboggling’: Will Monday’s big snow tally break a 1952 record in the Sierra Nevada?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:00:36 GMT

California water officials were set to trek up to Echo Summit south of Lake Tahoe on Monday for a highly anticipated annual snowpack measurement — and this year, it could be like a scene out of the 1975 movie “Jaws.”They’ll — probably — need a bigger ruler.The results could topple a record set more than half a century ago.A colossal pounding of snowfall this winter in the Sierra Nevada has produced incredible precipitation numbers for the region, wiped away drought conditions across most of the state and drawn out the ski season until the summertime for some Tahoe resorts. The nonstop slashing of storms has also wrought destruction in some parts of the Bay Area, where high winds and heavy rain have toppled trees and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.But for those keeping a close eye on the white fluffy stuff coming down from the sky this winter — the state says snowpack is at 236% of normal this time of year — the weathe...

Roma (CNN) — Los italianos que utilicen inglés y otras palabras extranjeras en las comunicaciones oficiales podrían enfrentarse a multas de hasta 100.000 euros (US$ 108.705) en virtud de la nueva legislación introducida por el partido Hermanos de Italia de la primera ministra Giorgia Meloni.Fabio Rampelli, miembro de la cámara baja de diputados, presentó la legislación, que cuenta con el apoyo de la primera ministra.Si bien la legislación abarca todos los idiomas extranjeros, está particularmente orientada a la “anglomanía” o el uso de palabras en inglés, que según el borrador “degrada y mortifica” el idioma italiano, y agrega que es aún peor porque el Reino Unido ya no es parte de la Unión Europea.El proyecto de ley, que aún no se somete a debate parlamentario, exige que cualquier persona que ocupe un cargo en la administración pública tenga “conocimiento y dominio escrito y oral del idioma italiano”. También prohíbe el uso del inglés en la documentaci...
