Fog and Rain
Spring in Carolina.
Today started a lot like Thursday -- a dense fog advisory, and motorists contending with visibilities of just a few hundred feet in some places before daybreak. However, temperatures this morning were mild, in the upper 50s. That was 15 to 20 degrees warmer than the same time Thursday.
Forecasters say rain will fall throughout the second part of the day, then return Saturday afternoon and night in the form of showers and possible heavy thunderstorms.Ah, the joy!
Then again, we're not in Kansas ...
Snow and ice are already creating tricky driving conditions in western Kansas, as a huge spring storm coats pavement and sets up a wintry weekend in much of the state.... where BLIZZARD Warnings have been expanded!Dozens of school districts canceled classes today as blizzard warnings were expanded to include about half of Kansas. Predicted snowfall totals range from six inches to a foot or more, but winds of 40 miles per hour or higher are creating deep drifts and near-zero visibility.
A National Weather Service forecaster says whiteout conditions are likely on Interstate 70 and other highways.

Top Irish republican charged with killing soldiers
Duffy, 41, offered no plea to two criminal counts of murder and five of attempted murder during his high-security appearance at the court in Larne, an overwhelmingly British Protestant town north of Belfast.
Dozens of relatives and friends from Duffy's hard-line Irish Catholic power base of Lurgan cheered and applauded as he was led from the courtroom — handcuffed to a policeman and surrounded by a half-dozen other armed officers in flak jackets.
Outside the building, police scuffled with a crowd of militant Protestant men shouting anti-IRA insults as Duffy was driven off in an unmarked police car with darkened windows. "Murdering scum!" shouted one man who tried to punch the windows of the passing car.
Duffy had been held for police interrogation since March 14, a week after two masked men with assault rifles fired more than 60 rounds at three off-duty, unarmed soldiers collecting pizzas from two Domino's Pizza delivery men outside their base. Two soldiers died and four people were wounded, including both pizza couriers.
Duffy became the first person charged in connection with the March 7 shooting — the first deadly attack on British soldiers in Northern Ireland since 1997, the year that the outlawed Irish Republican Army called a lasting cease-fire.
The Real IRA, a splinter group opposed to Northern Ireland's peace process, claimed responsibility.
