How extreme weather in the US may have affected the pumpkins you picked this year for Halloween

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 20:28:00 GMT

Hudson, CO. (AP) — Alan Mazzotti can see the Rocky Mountains about 30 miles west of his pumpkin patch in northeast Colorado on a clear day. He could tell the snow was abundant last winter, and verified it up close when he floated through fresh powder alongside his wife and three sons at the popular Winter Park Resort.But one season of above-average snowfall wasn’t enough to refill the dwindling reservoir he relies on to irrigate his pumpkins. He received news this spring that his water delivery would be about half of what it was from the previous season, so he planted just half of his typical pumpkin crop. Then heavy rains in May and June brought plenty of water and turned fields into a muddy mess, preventing any additional planting many farmers might have wanted to do.“By time it started raining and the rain started to affect our reservoir supplies and everything else, it was just too late for this year,” Mazzotti said.For some pumpkin growers in states like Texas, New Mexico...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 20:28:00 GMT

(KTXL) — Many people flock to warehouses like Costco and Sam's Club with high hopes of getting the best deal on the price of fuel. Although both offer similar savings, there's a difference in the quality of gas they pump. The most notable difference between Costco and Sam's Club is that one provides Top Tier gas while the other does not. What’s the cheapest day of the week to buy gas? "Not all gasoline is created equal," Consumer Reports wrote in March 2022. "There is plain old regular, and then there is regular gasoline that meets a higher standard, known as Top Tier.” According to Top Tier's website, the fuel was "developed by some of the leading automotive and heavy-duty equipment manufacturers."

Rainwater washes and mixes with the different salts, chemicals, and particulates which can contain acid. When the salts, acids, and rainwater combine, a chemical reaction occurs that forms a sort of rudimentary soap.As the mixture fl...
