It Doesn't Fit The Narrative; David Muir Won't Be Reporting This On ABC News Tonight -- October 17, 2016

Record snowfall in Montana. Four times more than previous record.

Record snowfall across the region.

Choteau, Montana set a new snowfall record for Oct. 10 with 6 inches, shattering the 1.5-inch record set in 1990.

Havre, Montana also set a record with 5.5 inches of snow, as did Turner with 5 inches.

Utter Nonsense

One can read the story at this link. I was more interested in the second paragraph:

.... sales of electric vehicles have decreased in Western Europe while automobile sales have increased. This is despite lucrative financial incentives for purchasing an electric vehicle in many European countries. In Germany itself, financial incentives are insufficient to promote very many electric vehicle sales.

Ford Under Pressure

Speaking of automobiles, Ford is temporarily shutting down four plants, including an F-150 truck plant:

In a fresh sign of pressure on U.S. automakers, Ford Motor Co. on Monday said it will shut down production of its best-selling F-150 pickup truck for a week at a Kansas City assembly plant, and temporarily idle three other plants over the next several weeks.

The F-150 is the best-selling vehicle model in North America, and a key profit-maker for Ford. However, sales of the overall F-series pickup model line fell nearly 3 per cent in September. Ford dealers had a heavy 95 days’ supply of the pickups on their lots at the end of September, according to data compiled by Automotive News.
