As the nation readies to power through a dangerous arctic outbreak that is forecast to drop temperatures 40-50 degrees below average, bring sub-zero readings to the Plains and a hard freeze to the South and Northeast that will likely reach depths not seen in several years, frigid residents might be clamoring for a break. It appears Mother Nature will oblige.

On April 20, a federal grand jury indicted Christopher Winkler, Bryan Gosman, Asa Gosman and Bob Gosman Co. Inc. with one count of conspiracy, among other crimes. Bryan and Asa Gosman admitted that this fish was then sold to a now-defunct company, an unindicted co-conspirator, in the New Fulton Fish Market in the Bronx, New York. Both Asa Gosman and Bryan Gosman had an ownership interest in the defunct company. In court documents, Bryan and Asa Gosman admit that the sales of illegal fish (to both companies) totaled at least $240,000 wholesale. Bryan and Asa Gosman stated that part of the conspiracy was to falsify both FVTRs and dealer reports to cover-up the fact that fish were taken in excess of quotas.

Your Local Weather Authority is in the process of making its forecast for the upcoming winter. Experts at NOAA are forecasting warmer than average temperatures across the southern half of the United States. What the La Niña typically meansThe main reason for a forecast like this has to do with the La Niña, which is described as cooler than average temperatures in the Pacific Ocean. What a La Niña meansWe reconstructed a map from the North Carolina Climate Office to show what a typical La Niña looks like across the U.S. during the winter months. In fact, one out of every four La Niña winters exceed expectations.
