A coral that survives R.I. winters offers clues to saving reefs worldwide

Every fall, the same question appears on weather forums and social media: Is snow spreading fast across Siberia? Many weather enthusiasts believe that a quick October snow advance there is an early warning sign of a cold, snowy winter for the United States, Canada, and Europe. This idea comes from a famous scientific study published in 2011, and it has been repeated every winter since. With a fast snow surge forecast again this October, I decided to test whether it still works in the modern era. I went through 47 winters of data, from 1979 to 2025, using four different snow datasets, including the satellite data used in the original study. The results were surprising, and they change how we should read this October’s snow. Below, I explain how October snow is supposed to disrupt the Polar Vortex, why the theory looked so convincing, what the data really shows, and what the latest forecasts indicate for Winter 2026/2027. In 2011, scientists Judah Cohen and Justin Jones found a remarkable winter signal. They measured how fast snow cover expanded across Eurasia during October and its potential impact on the following winter season.

Miley Cyrus paid an emotional tribute to her late godmother, Dolly Parton, during a performance at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday. The singer broke down in tears as she recalled a special memory of Parton before performing the country legend's hit song "Jolene. "Cyrus told the audience that the only time she had seen Parton perform live was at the Hollywood Bowl. Although Parton had invited her to join her onstage that night, Cyrus said she wanted to experience the concert as a fan. Reflecting on the memory, Cyrus said she feels Parton's presence more than ever following her death in August at age 80. "Like so many things Dolly did, that I didn't understand it at the time, sitting here with you all right now, feeling her all around me, knowing that she's right here beside me everyday, all the time, more than she could be when she was here," Cyrus told the crowd.
