The Cape Town Cycle Tour in Johannesburg had violent weather conditions this past weekend, which lead the cycle route to cancel. Participants faced wind speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour. Violent weather conditions have always been a concern, but normally there's just interruptions. This is the first time in the history of the Cape Town Cycle Tour (4o years) that a race was canceled.

The National Weather Service is denying accusations knowing that they mislead the public with the blizzard forecast this week. On Monday, the weather service station said that New York would get up to a foot and a half of snow but they ended up only getting 7.6 inches. Boston and Washington D.C. were also falsely informed about the snowfall. The National Weather Service said it kept predictions high because it worried that a dramatic change of the predictions could upset many people. The lost business and productivity in the northeast cost $2 billion to $3 billion due to the forecast.

People are say that winter storm Stella was a bust. Newscasters had been informing lots of people that they would all get hit hard, however not as many did. Some are saying this is happening more, the unreliability in news people. Especially in New York, and Boston. People said it was completely overplayed and that this storm was a bust. However people in certain areas of Pennsylvania would have to disagree seeing as though some of them got over 30 inches.
