California, Arizona and others, fearing a political shake-up of negotiating teams after the November election, are aiming to wrap up work this year.

After a worryingly weak start to the winter for California’s mountains, two storms — including what’s expected to be the biggest of the season so far — are expected to dump several inches of snow on the Sierra Nevada this week, days after some promising weekend snowfall.
Water, the stuff of life, behaves differently than most other matter in our universe: as it cools to take its solid form, it expands.

The water in the Colorado […]
One liter of water, equivalent to two standard-size bottled waters, contained an average of 240,000 plastic particles. These particles belonged to seven different types of plastics, with 90 per cent identified as nanoplastics and the remaining as microplastics, the details were found in a study, as per a report.
There hasn’t been as much snow in the Sierra to date compared to last year. However, a second Sierra storm within a week is being welcomed by scientists at the UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab.
