More Global Warming To Hit France: Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport Will Cut 20% Of Flights -- Impending Snow Storm; Already Hitting North Dakota/South Dakota -- I-29 Closed; Meanwhile President Declares State of Emergency For Connecticut, Clearing Way For FEMA Funds

Bloomberg is reporting:

Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, the main hub serving the French capital, was ordered to cut flights by 20 percent today because of expected snow, the French civil aviation authority said.

Snowfall will be less heavy than previously forecast, meaning restrictions for Paris Orly airport announced yesterday were lifted and those for Charles de Gaulle were reduced from a 30 percent cut in traffic, the Direction Generale de l’Aviation Civile wrote in an e-mailed statement today. 

So, we'll see how bad the winter storm is. See first comment: orange alert (second highest alert in France) -- they are expecting 1 to 5 centimeters of snow (2.5 centimeters is an inch, so we're talking one-half to two inches. Inches. Compare to 2 feet in Boston.)

Meanwhile in North Dakota, global warming is already hitting us with another snowstorm. I-29 south to Fargo is closed due to snow. This link is dynamic; the information was current at 3:51 pm EST, February 10, 2013.

A major winter storm will bring heavy snow and strong winds from northeast Colorado to central Minnesota from Sunday into Monday, the National Weather Service said. Eastern South Dakota could see more than a foot of snow and 50 mph winds, "creating whiteout conditions," the weather agency said. 

Meanwhile, folks are still digging out of Winter Storm Nemo (same link):

President Barack Obama announced a state of [global warming] emergency in Connecticut, which got some of the heaviest snowfall. The city of Hamden had a whopping 40 inches.

The risk, of course, is all this snow melting at the same time, running into the oceans, and causing a rise in sea level sooner than predicted.
