Kindly note the frigid air mass from the north meeting up with a warm air mass coming up from the equator. This is serious business folks!

Hurricane-force winds, blizzard conditions, heavy snowfall (click here) — and a "bomb cyclone" on the West Coast: Those are the dire predictions of weather forecasters, who are warning Thanksgiving travelers to be cautious and prepare for delays as two powerful back-to-back storms hit the western and central U.S. this week.

The National Weather Service's U.S. forecast map is draped in alarming shades of pink, purple and red, reflecting winter storm warnings that are in effect from California to Michigan. And the bad weather is expected to last: The winter storm warning posted by the NWS office in Las Vegas will remain in effect from 5 p.m. PT Tuesday through 4 a.m. PT Friday.

The warnings come as Denver and other cities are already coping with heavy snowfall from a winter storm that is hitting the southern and central Plains region. The NWS office in Cheyenne, Wyo., reported getting more than 12 inches of snow by midday on Tuesday. But elevated areas west of Fort Collins, Colo., reported more than 30 inches.

That storm is still developing and is expected to dump up to a foot of snow in a broad region by Thursday as it moves from the Plains to the upper Mississippi Valley, across the upper Great Lakes and into northern Maine, the NWS says. It adds that heavy snow could affect travelers at airports from Denver to Minneapolis-St. Paul.

It is completely wrong to single one religion in a display honoring MIA and POWs.

Bible under glass. There is no other purpose for that Bible except as a religious symbol. Can't hold it, can't read from it or pray from it. It is a religious symbol and completely out of place when discussing American MIAs or POWs. 

Any of our national cemeteries are full of men and women who provide the final sacrifice for this country, the least we can do is recognize the freedom of religion is a sovereignty of its own and no one should impose majority rule on others.

A legal battle is playing out over a Bible should be allowed in this display honoring prisoners of war and soldiers missing in action at the Manchester VA Medical Center in New Hampshire.

...The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (click here) is leading the fight for removal and argues that the inclusion of the Christian Bible violates the constitutional prohibition against government establishment of religion. The Albuquerque, N.M.-based foundation -- which says it represents about 64,000 service members and veterans, about 95 percent of whom identify as practicing Christians -- lists its primary mission as protecting the separation of church and state in the U.S. military and the Veterans Administration.

The Northeast POW/MIA Network, which owns and operates the display, was added to the federal lawsuit as a defendant at its request. The network is represented by the First Liberty Institute, a Plano, Texas, group that describes itself as the largest legal organization in the nation dedicated exclusively to protecting religious liberty for all Americans....
