#midweek east prediction

Excerpt from this New York Times story:
Millions of Americans from Texas to Maine will face sweltering conditions this week as a heat wave takes hold in the eastern half of the United States, according to forecasters. Beginning Sunday, rising temperatures will hit the South, then stretch over the Midwest before spreading to the East Coast by midweek.
It’s not officially summer yet, so the real baking season is still to come. But this earlier stretch of stifling weather, and the fact that it is expected to linger for days, may be jarring for many regions.
Here are five numbers to help put this coming heat wave — and our warming climate — in context.
99
The expected high temperature in Fahrenheit on Wednesday in Pittsburgh. It would be the highest ever recorded there during the month of June, said Josh Weiss, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center. (In Pittsburgh, he added, there are temperature records dating back to 1875.)
22.6 million
The number of people across the country who were under extreme heat advisories, watches or warnings on Saturday, according to the National Weather Service. That is roughly the population of the state of Florida.
12
The number of consecutive months in which the average global temperature of earth has been the highest on record for that month. Last month was the hottest May ever. June could bring that number to 13.
1,220
The estimated number of deaths per year caused by extreme heat, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That makes heat the deadliest kind of extreme weather. (Flooding, by contrast, causes about 98 deaths per year.) But that number may be an undercount, as heat deaths are hard to track, because heat can exacerbate underlying conditions. And it tends to be most dangerous for people who are already vulnerable, like older Americans who don’t have air conditioning.
4
The highest number on a new scale created by the National Weather Service and the C.D.C. that gauges the health risks associated with extreme heat in a specific location on any given day. Because — as anyone who has spent summer days in Houston or Phoenix could tell you — not all heat feels the same. Experts say that even slightly lower temperatures coupled with high levels of humidity can be more dangerous.

It’s been an eventful few days for Aberdeen and the fan base, punctuated by a pair of 2-2 draws that could hardly be any further apart in how they’re being viewed. Firstly came the long awaited first European night of a season in which at least eight are guaranteed, away to BK Hacken in Gothenburg, which offered the chance for something of a pilgrimage for Dons fans and a first  look at Aberdeen on the European stage this year. Even the most optimistic of Aberdeen fans didn’t seem to be taking the challenge of Hacken and Europa league qualification lightly and as the match, which was played at a rip-roaring pace swayed in the favour of the home side, who took a 2-0 lead, the challenge looked even greater. Then came that final 20 minutes. The travelling support and RedTV or dodgy stick faithful were given their first look in red of James McGarry and Jamie McGrath, who both impressed in their respective Dons debuts. As Aberdeen piled the pressure on the hosts, Miovski did what Miovski does and finished brilliantly with his left foot to haul the Dons back into the tie and then Nicky Devlin, finally unleashed in his favoured position of right wing back, did what none of us expected Nicky Devlin to do and latched onto a Miovski ball to dink over an onrushing keeper. The game was level, mayhem ensued in Gothenburg and living rooms and pubs back in the North East and with some top level shithousery from half the Aberdeen team as the icing on the cake, the tie was turned around with it now coming back to Pittodrie finely poised and with a dose of confidence injected firmly into it.
The next couple of days were hugely positive, with social media buzzing over the fight back from the Aberdeen team, plaudits given to Barry Robson for finally utilising his bench, the home leg at Pittodrie swiftly becoming a sell out and the Aberdeen support largely glued to their phones, watching and rewatching the clip of aforementioned shithousery in the wake of Devlin’s equaliser. Excitement levels were building for this coming Thursday but there was unfortunately a trip to perhaps one of the least exciting places possible, Paisley, to come before the Hacken home leg.
Again, not many predicted an easy afternoon for Aberdeen on Sunday, with the home team in good form with two wins in the league and impressive performances noted as they continue to build under Stephen Robinson. It was hoped that with a good performance that the dandies could overcome the spirited home side and build on the excellent momentum from midweek. This was not what followed.
After grabbing an undeserved lead through a Jonny Hayes cross, it seemed that if Aberdeen could be revitalised at half time and replicate the level set in the second half performance in Gothenburg, they might just get out of Paisley with three points. Whilst the second half mirrored the one against Hacken in terms of controversy, the quality was severely lacking and the substitutions this time failed to make the same impact, instead looking like what they were, players which had very recently been added to the squad. In the 99th minute, Aberdeen were presented with the opportunity to rescue, or perhaps, rob a point from the game when a second hand ball incident, this time committed by the hosts, led to a penalty. Even in the closing moments, as Miovski fired home from the spot, the drama wasn’t over as the ominous letters of VAR flashed up on the screen and we were presented with the Scottish football equivalent of the white and gold or blue and black dress conundrum from a few years ago, as the penalty was checked for a double touch. The goal, rightly in my opinion, stood and Aberdeen escaped with a point that they possibly didn’t deserve and which at times looked highly unlikely but which they will very much take.
After a series of tricky matches on the road, we now have two huge games to look forward to at home. Pittodrie has always been absolutely brilliant on big European nights and given how the atmosphere has been ramping up in recent times, I expect Thursday night to be something truly special. The mood around the game seems to one of optimism and enthusiasm and we can only hope this carries on into the game itself, in both the crowd and with the players on the pitch. Come Friday morning, we’ll know where our European futures lie for this season and whichever league we find ourselves anxiously awaiting the draw for, I hope that we’re left feeling proud, of the performance on the pitch and of Pittodrie on what is set to be our biggest game in many years!

Spring lets winter get the last laugh as snow is forecast across portions of the US
New Post has been published on https://appradab.com/spring-lets-winter-get-the-last-laugh-as-snow-is-forecast-across-portions-of-the-us/
Spring lets winter get the last laugh as snow is forecast across portions of the US
The spring-like temperatures last week are fading this week as a dip in the jet stream moves across the eastern two-thirds of the nation, allowing cooler air to settle in from Canada.
“Volatile, fitting for this time of year is a great way to describe the weather pattern during this timeframe,” said the National Weather Service office in Albany, New York. “After experiencing May-like temperatures on both Tuesday and Wednesday, in a 36-48 hours period, the weather pattern pendulum just like that swings back into winter mode.”
In the Northeast, temperatures were near to above average midweek, but they will cool by the weekend, with snow in the forecast for the interior.
Albany was forecast to reach 70 degrees for a high temperature Wednesday afternoon, but then plummet to the mid-30s by Friday morning, with a winter storm watch in effect outside of the city.
This is a similar story across much of the Northeast, with the warmer-than-normal temperatures through Wednesday before a cold front moves through late week. This will make for a 20-degree drop in temperatures between Wednesday and Thursday in New York and New England.
The high temperatures will be 10-20 degrees below normal for this time of the year. The Mid-Atlantic should cool down slightly as well, with highs more like 5 degrees below normal, into the 50s and 60s.
With this cold, there is also the chance for snow. A weak area of low pressure located over the central US will track offshore and up the Northeast coast Thursday through Saturday, introducing the risk for snow in the higher elevations of New England and New York state.
The heaviest of the snow will be Thursday night into Friday across inland locations. There is the chance temperatures do get cold enough for some snow in some coastal locations of New England, but most of the coast will deal with a cool rain.
Much of the Northeast could use the precipitation, with parts of the region at less than 50% of normal precipitation the past 90 days.
In the higher elevations of New England, snowfall could add up to 8 to 12 inches, with lower totals at the mountains’ bases.
In a typical season, Albany’s last measurable snowfall is on April 6, but the record latest is May 18. If snow does accumulate later this week, then the city will have a later-than-normal end to its snow season. Last year, it snowed until April 22, with a storm total of 0.1 inches.
A warmup will likely return, with temperatures slightly above average beginning this weekend. Highs will be back in the 60s for many in the Northeast.
Even colder in the middle of the country
The most significant cold compared to normal this week will be across the central US, where there is the risk for snow.
Widespread high temperatures of 15-25 degrees below average are forecast across the Plains. This could last through at least this upcoming weekend as the colder air moves south.
Since it is spring, this will not be an Arctic outbreak of extreme cold like what Texas experienced in February. Still, some cities could break their daily coldest high temperature records. This includes Austin, Texas — a forecast high of only 65 degrees on Saturday could break the record coldest 66 degrees set in 1947.
Highs will range from the 30s and 40s in the Northern Plains and lower elevations of the central Rocky Mountains this week. In the Southern Plains, temperatures won’t cool down until this weekend. Highs could drop as much as 20-30 degrees between mid-week and the weekend in Texas.
The Southeast will also cool down, with the coldest air compared to normal between Thursday and Saturday. Widespread high temperatures in the 60s and 70s are forecast during this time period.
This spell of cold temperatures in the Central Plains will mix with precipitation from a low-pressure system forming near the Rocky Mountains late week. Therefore, snow will be possible across much of Colorado, Wyoming and western Nebraska and Kansas.
Widespread snow and wintry mix are forecast, with snowfall of 1 to 5 inches expected in the lower elevations of this part of the US between Wednesday night and Friday night.
In this part of the country, snow is not too unusual this time of the year. North Platte, Nebraska, for example, typically experiences the last measurable snowfall on April 15. In Denver, the last day is usually on April 28, but the city has received snowfall five out of the past 10 years in May.
Next week should remain cool across much of the central US, according to the Climate Prediction Center.
The center is forecasting a cooler than average East and warmer than average West, except for New England for early week and South Florida staying on the warm side.
Quieter severe weather pattern
The current overall weather pattern is having an impact on severe weather.
A classic setup for severe weather includes a dip in the jet stream across the West, which often triggers low pressure to form in the Plains. This low steers warm temperatures and high humidity into the South. In some cases, the ingredients line up to produce intense thunderstorms and tornadoes.
The weather pattern currently dominating the US is quite the opposite.
There is still the risk for some isolated severe thunderstorms near the Gulf Coast, which is forecast Wednesday and Thursday, according to the Storm Prediction Center, but the threat is not very widespread and nothing like a tornado outbreak.
There were strong storms in southern Louisiana on Tuesday that brought extreme wind, hail and rough seas to the region.
So far this year, the US has 252 reported tornadoes, which is below the year-to-date average of 312. The last time we have had this few by this time of year was 222 tornadoes in 2018, so this mid-April pattern will likely set the US back even more in terms of the number of tornadoes.

On the road again
Two road trips for North End this week with a return to Adams Park on Saturday to face Wycombe Wanders (3.00pm ko) followed by a trip a to the North East on Tuesday evening to face Neil Warnock`s Middlesbrough (7.00pm ko). This following on from a decent point at home last Saturday against high-flying Bournemouth when a typical Daniel Johnson effort saw North End secure half a loaf. It has been a clear week for the first time in a month with no midweek game so Alex Neil will have been able, hopefully, to get some of his ideas into the newer players ahead of the final eleven games of the season. With North End currently on 44 points I think that 52 will be plenty this season so two wins and two draws can see North End start to plan, seriously, for next season. Whether or not that is with Alex Neil remains to be seen.
Reflecting on the game last Saturday and I must admit to having a little trepidation before the game when I looked at the players that Bournemouth had available to them. The return of Ben Pearson also added a little more spice to proceedings. When the visitors took the lead I feared the worst and for an hour North End looked distinctly second best. The substitutions seemed to changed the game and for the final half hou North End were clearly the better side and there was much relief when DJ equalised with eighteen minutes to go. North End looked the most likely in the latter part of the game but all things considered I thought it was a good point against a side who will be up there at the end of the season.
On Saturday we wonce again face Gareth Ainsworth and his bottom of the league Wycombe Wanderers. We have had real trouble against the Chairboys this season with a fortunate 2-2 at Deepdale via an own goal late on followed by an humiliating 1-4 defeat in the third round of the FA C up back in January. Alex Neil should know full well what to expect and when you look at the respective squads player for player North End seem clearly ahead. We need to win the early battle and then let our class tell later in the game. I am expecting nothing less than a North End victory in Buckinghamshire on Saturday as there should be no excuses this time from the North End dressing room.
Tuesday will be a different sort of game up at the Riverside and one which might suit North End more that playing the bottom of the league. Middlesbrough have been in and out of form and North End recorded an excellent 3-0 victory against Boro at Deepdale earlier in the season. Warnock`s teams are never easy to play against and I expect this encounter to be no different but I am optimistic of getting something on Tuesday evening and making it a decent week on the road for North End. Two wins would almost see us safe but as you well know we are so inconsistent this season that icould be anything fron zero point up to six points.
And finally this week:- North End`s results for the 2019-20 season were published in midweek showing a pre-tax loss of 7.7 million. I think I am right in saying that 7 million came in from transfers. The fact that we have to sell players to survive should come as no surprise to anyone and wih Trevor making up the rest it shouldn`t be underestimated Mr Hemmings valus to the club. Mind you , I suppose just one season in the top flight and Trevor would get his money back. Aw well we can dream can`t we!

NFL picks, predictions against spread Week 7: Steelers stay perfect; 49ers edge Patriots; Packers rebound
Tumblr media
When making our NFL picks and predictions against the spread for Week 6, there were some tough beats and a few nice surprises. That’s the way the prognostication roller coaster goes, especially in a unusual, even more unpredictable season. 
For now, there are no games of Week 7 being rescheduled, so that helps to have some sense of normalcy in how to figure out how prepared every team will be for their matchups. But there’s also that typical regression to the mean, where teams with either inflated or underachieving records will even out based on their true value.
Here’s our latest fearless forecast based on the early Las Vegas lines which will be adjusted accordingly if there should be some key changes:

NFL picks against the spread for Week 7
AFC Game of the Week: Steelers (-2.5, 52.5 o/u) at Titans 
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS
The Steelers’ defense is playing very well against run and pass, but it lost a key piece in linebacker Devin Bush. That said, they are still loaded in the pass rush, defensive line and secondary. The key to stopping the Titans is containing Derrick Henry, because his presence also sets up Ryan Tannehill to deliver a highly effective downfield play-action passing game. Pittsburgh defeated Cleveland with the same formula. The Titans are also much weaker defensively and will struggle with both slowing down James Conner and handling the diversity of playmakers around Ben Roethlisberger.
Pick: Steelers win 27-20 and cover the spread.
Game of the Midweek: Giants at Eagles (-6, 45 o/u)
Thursday, 8:20 p.m. ET, Fox, NFL Network and Amazon Prime Video
The Giants got their first win and the Eagles, with their tie against the Bengals, are only a half-game ahead. New York is missing Saquon Barkley, Sterling Shepard and others to to squeeze their offensive potential with Daniel Jones. Philadephia has been ravaged by injuries around Carson Wentz, and now the latest are to running back Miles Sanders and tight Zach Ertz. The Eagles’ defense can still get in Jones’ face and make it easier on Wentz with key takaaways. But the Giants’ defense is overachieving and can keep this short-week, short-trip game close.
Pick: Eagles win 20-17 but fail to cover the spread.
Lock of the Week: Saints (-7.5, 51 o/u) over Panthers
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET,  Fox
The Saints know Teddy Bridgewater well and will bring the appropriate blitz packages against him. They also should be healthier in the secondary to improve their pass defense. They also will be improved in the passing game with MIchael Thomas and will be able to run well at will on the Panthers’ weakened front. No Christian McCaffrey for another week hurts here on the fast track of the Superdome. Look for Alvin Kamara to be in the spotlight and carry New Orleans to victory, buoyed by a few timely defensive plays.
Pick: Saints win 31-17 and cover the spread.
Upset of the Week: 49ers over Patriots ( -3.5, 45.5 o/u)
Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS
The 49ers got healthier and grinded out a win against the Rams. Their offense is back to using unique skill players in creative play-calling, now that everyone is healthy. The Patriots’ defense and will focus to take away one thing, but it’s hard to do that because of the interchangeable, physical, quick big-play nature of George Kittle, Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk. Eight years ago, the 49ers went into New England and won with Jim Harbaugh and Colin Kaepernick. Here’s a similar result with Kyle Shanahan and former Patriots backup Jimmy Garoppolo. It’s very hard to trust Cam Newton and the Patriots’ offense against a still solid 49ers defense.
Pick: 49ers win 24-20.

Cowboys (-1, 47.5 o/u) at Washington Football Team 
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, Fox
Andy Dalton will be fine in his first road start for the Cowboys with plenty of help from Ezekiel Elliott in the running game and Washington not being able to slow down his receivers on deep routes. The Cowboys’ defense will show some life going after Kyle Allen when working with a lead. Washington’s limited weapons give the Cowboys’ struggling coverage a break, too.
Pick: Cowboys win 27-17 and cover the spread.
Bills (-11, 46.5 o/u) at Jets 
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS
There’s no line big enough for the Jets at the moment. They went through the motions in being shut out 24-0 by the Dolphins in Week 6. The Bills will be coming off two tough intra-conference matchups with the Titans and the Chiefs, looking to remind everyone they are about to finally reign over the AFC East competition for the first time in a long time. Josh Allen has a second big game on the Jets and ensures the Bills win comfortably again like they did in Week 1.
Pick: Bils win 34-20 and cover the spread.
Packers (-3, 56 o/u) at Texans 
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, Fox
The Packers want to forget about all the offensive issues that had in Tampa and a trip to Houston to face a Texans’ defense that can neither hold up against run nor pass is just what the coordinator ordered for a get-well game. Aaron Rodgers will have a fun duel with Deshaun Watson as Green Bay’s defense will continue to struggle on the road. But in the end, they can control the game better with Aaron Jones and the rushing attack.
Pick: Packers win 34-27 and cover the spread.

Browns (-3.5, 51.5 o/u) at Bengals
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS
The Browns held off the Bengals in a higher-scoring affair in Week 2 in Cleveland. That was coming off Baker Mayfield being battered and struggling against another, mightier AFC North foe in the Ravens. They will need to dig deep to respond well from the Steelers loss. Luckily they can keep it simple by running the ball well with Kareem Hunt and containing the running of Joe Mixon. Joe Burrow grinds through another matchup in the Battle of Ohio while the Browns get back on the winning track by going back to taking a game out of Mayfield’s hands.
Pick: Browns win 26-23 but fail to cover the spread.
Lions at Falcons ( -3, 56.5 o/u )
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, Fox
The Falcons came to life under interim coach Raheem Morris, sparked by the explosive return of their best player, wide receiver Julio Jones. Jones has made the entire passing game red-hot again for Matt Ryan and now it’s time save some face at home. The Lions looked good on the road in Jacksonville with more of D’Andre Swift, who returns to Georgia to duel fellow former Bulldog Todd Gurley. But with Jones, Calvin Ridley and others, Ryan has more support than his good friend Matthew Stafford, who also returns to Georgia. This is a friendly shootout but Atlanta holds another lead while Detroit gets closer to parting ways with its coach, Matt Patricia, too.
Pick: Falcons win 38-34 and cover the spread.
Buccaneers (-3, 53.5 o/u) at Raiders 
Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET, Fox
Remember when Tom Brady was rumored to be going to the Raiders? Well, he found the right fit with the Buccaneers, while Derek Carr has been driven to put up more efficient and explosive numbers in 2020. The Bucs’ defense is deep and asserting itself with its strong run-stopping and pass-rushing baseline. They’re putting it together offensively with Brady, and their solid running with Ronald Jones will continue to be a factor here. The Bucs’ defense is also built to contain Carr’s key cogs, running back Josh Jacobs and tight end Darren Waller. Jones and the Bucs’ wideouts will have more success.
Pick: Buccaneers win 34-27 and cover the spread.
Jaguars at Chargers (-8, 49 o/u)
Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS
Gardner Minshew might be hitting a second-year wall. He’s been a great story, but different types of defensive looks have started to get to him. Facing a well-rested Chargers defense capable of confusing with zone schemes featuring Joey Bosa and a strong secondary isn’t a formula to break out of a slump. Rookie Justin Herbert, his old Pac-12 QB rival, is off to a sizzling start making better use of all of his diverse weapons than Minshew is at the moment.
Pick:  Chargers win 35-20 and cover the spread.
Tumblr media Tumblr media

Chiefs (-10, 48 o/u) at Broncos 
Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS
The Chiefs had a close call against the Chargers and lost to the Raiders. The first team did it with defense while the second team finished the job with offense. The Broncos don’t pose many obstacles or resistance either way. Drew Lock’s breakout is on delay because of injuries to him and elsewhere. The Broncos are good against the run, but the Chiefs’ passing game with Patrick Mahomes will open things up all over the field and eventually set up Le’Veon Bell for immediate impact.
Pick: Chiefs win 30-14 and cover the spread.
Seahawks (-3.5, 56 o/u) at Cardinals
Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET, NBC
The Seahawks will be coming off a bye while the Cardinals will be returning home on a short week, having played the Cowboys in Dallas on Monday night. Seattle should get significantly healthier offensively and defensively. where Russell Wilson will have his full skill and blocking support and Jamal Adams should return to clean up for the defense. The Cardinals don’t have their most impactful defender, Chandler Jones, to pressure Wilson. Kyler Murray isn’t facing worrisome rushers from the Seahawks, but they’ll just make enough plays on his receivers to preserve victory in another high-scoring affair.
Pick: Seahawks win 31-27 and cover the spread.
Bears at Rams (-6.5, 46 o/u)
Monday, 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN
The Bears are playing excellent pass defense because of Khalil Mack and the secondary. The Rams are playing excellent pass defense because of Aaron Donald and the secondary. Both teams are vulnerable against the run and it comes down to who you can trust to pound the ball more effectively and which QB will face less pressure as a result. It’s a clear advantage for a rebounding Jared Goff with Darrell Henderson vs. a shaky Nick Foles with David Montgomery. Bigger advantage, Sean McVay over Matt Nagy.
Pick: Rams win 24-17 and cover the spread.

The Bull Keeps Running: These TSX Stocks Just Hit 52-Week Highs
The Bull Keeps Running: These TSX Stocks Just Hit 52-Week Highs:
Tumblr media
Some of this week’s top 52-week highs on the TSX were showing that investors are still moving funds into traditionally defensive areas. Among this week’s high fliers were some big names such as Enbridge (TSX:ENB)(NYSE:ENB) and gold miner Wesdome.
Energy bulls were out in force this week
With a 5.86% yield and an exceptionally wide moat, thanks to its unassailable Mainline System. The pipeline network carries an outstanding 2.85 million bpd per year, making it a primary fuel transport system. Beyond Western Canada, the Mainline network connects up with pipelines into the east of the country and the Gulf Coast in the U.S.
However, with the green economy being one of the leading growth trends in the world right now, investment managers are predicting that the scales will eventually tip in favour of renewables. Energy investment is reaching a tipping point whereby fossil fuels and green power will counterbalance for a while before possibly flipping into a full-blown renewables bull run.
Northland Power was also riding high this week, for instance, breaking the $28 ceiling. The stock’s 4.3% dividend yield shows that renewables can compete with more hydrocarbon-heavy energy companies when it comes to passive income.
Gold was in a holding pattern midweek, as the markets awaited a three-day period of uncertainty that eyed a U.K. general election that will be decisive in how Brexit rolls out, and the deadline for a U.S.-China trade deal. The trend helped push Wesdome to a year-long high.
At the other end of the scale were materials stocks such as Transcontinental. At one point the printing and packaging stock was down on average by more than 10% this week, hitting a 52-week low, though this had diminished to around 4% by Friday.
The economy is still holding its breath
American investors were stuck in an eddy midweek as the Fed held rates steady. Meanwhile, the German economy — a key indicator of the fiscal health of the Eurozone — was buoyed by strong results arising from exports in October. So positive was the German rally that the euro rose against the U.S. dollar.
The U.S. is looking at 2% growth in 2020, however, and while that is down from the 2.3% standard and a long way off the president’s 3% goal, at least it’s a positive number. By keeping rates steady, the Fed leaves a powerful weapon in its arsenal for next year, just in case further stimulus is needed to hang on to that growth.
The next few days could see some positive developments, as markets react to the U.K. election outcome and relaxed trade tensions between the U.S. and China. With U.S. unemployment rates low and stock markets buoyant, North American investors shouldn’t worry just yet.
The bottom line

Some of this week’s top 52-week highs on the TSX were showing that investors are still moving funds into traditionally defensive areas. Among this week’s high fliers were some big names such as Enbridge (TSX:ENB)(NYSE:ENB) and gold miner Wesdome.
Energy bulls were out in force this week
With a 5.86% yield and an exceptionally wide moat, thanks to its unassailable Mainline System. The pipeline network carries an outstanding 2.85 million bpd per year, making it a primary fuel transport system. Beyond Western Canada, the Mainline network connects up with pipelines into the east of the country and the Gulf Coast in the U.S.
However, with the green economy being one of the leading growth trends in the world right now, investment managers are predicting that the scales will eventually tip in favour of renewables. Energy investment is reaching a tipping point whereby fossil fuels and green power will counterbalance for a while before possibly flipping into a full-blown renewables bull run.
Northland Power was also riding high this week, for instance, breaking the $28 ceiling. The stock’s 4.3% dividend yield shows that renewables can compete with more hydrocarbon-heavy energy companies when it comes to passive income.
Gold was in a holding pattern midweek, as the markets awaited a three-day period of uncertainty that eyed a U.K. general election that will be decisive in how Brexit rolls out, and the deadline for a U.S.-China trade deal. The trend helped push Wesdome to a year-long high.
At the other end of the scale were materials stocks such as Transcontinental. At one point the printing and packaging stock was down on average by more than 10% this week, hitting a 52-week low, though this had diminished to around 4% by Friday.
The economy is still holding its breath
American investors were stuck in an eddy midweek as the Fed held rates steady. Meanwhile, the German economy — a key indicator of the fiscal health of the Eurozone — was buoyed by strong results arising from exports in October. So positive was the German rally that the euro rose against the U.S. dollar.
The U.S. is looking at 2% growth in 2020, however, and while that is down from the 2.3% standard and a long way off the president’s 3% goal, at least it’s a positive number. By keeping rates steady, the Fed leaves a powerful weapon in its arsenal for next year, just in case further stimulus is needed to hang on to that growth.
The next few days could see some positive developments, as markets react to the U.K. election outcome and relaxed trade tensions between the U.S. and China. With U.S. unemployment rates low and stock markets buoyant, North American investors shouldn’t worry just yet.
The bottom line
Canadian investors looking for the top TSX stocks to buy and forget about have some quality choice this week. Enbridge has long been a favourite for long-range stockholders bullish on pipeline developments, for instance. Though it faced a tough year to challenges in its pipeline network, investors have proved loyal. Meanwhile, Transcontinental could bounce back on weakness as bullishness returns.

What Dunfermline Athletic are saying
“I get the feeling, having spoke to the boys on Monday, that hangover of possibly missing out on the play-offs, we now realise we are looking over our shoulder and they feel they have got a point to prove. Whoever the starting eleven are on Saturday and the subs that come on, we have to make sure we have an impact on the game on that allows the supporters to get behind us because they will be important to us. You can only ask a group of players to give it their best shot, if you do that and do not succeed, you can go home and people can then have a go at you for your quality. But collectively, you give it your lot, we have found ourselves in a position we do not want to be in but it is in our own hands and I am sure the teams below us would rather be where we are. “It is trimming it back to the basics, which are: get on the ball, want the ball, pass it to a team-mate, go and be energetic, cause the other team problems and when you lose the ball, make it hard for the other team to make passes and stop crosses into our own box.” (Stevie Crawford, head coach)
What Greenock Morton are saying
“It is a difficult away game. I know Dunfermline haven’t been on a great run, but they are a good team with good players.I think now after getting that win against Falkirk and a good performance against Inverness, we can look towards this game positively and aim to be as hard to beat as we were in those games. [The] rewards could be fifth place in the league and we have to aim towards that. On the other hand, we have to be mindful of the situation below us. You can’t trust this league and think results will go a certain way, and we saw that in midweek [ninth-place Partick won 1-0 away at third-placed Ayr United].” (Jonatan Johansson, manager)

Arsenal face Manchester City in the weekend’s big match (Getty / Metro)A number of surprise midweek results in the Premier League, but Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the table to five points after their draw with Leicester following Manchester City’s surprise defeat to Newcastle United on Tuesday evening. Once again Brand Ambassador Michael Owen shared his thoughts on all the weekend action exclusively with BetVictor. Tottenham vs Newcastle United Heung-Min Son is Spurs’ talisman while Harry Kane is sidelined (Getty Images)Two late goals gave Spurs a welcome three points against Watford midweek and they have picked up four more points at this point of the season (24 games) than they have ever had at the corresponding stage of the Premier League – and they are still seven points behind leaders Liverpool. The Magpies gained a famous win at home to Manchester City on Tuesday when they played with great discipline and organisation and took their opportunities when they arose roared on by the Toon Army. United left nothing out on the St James’ Park pitch midweek, however, have lost their last seven games at Wembley and I think the hosts will keep the points in the capital. Michael’s prediction: Tottenham 2-0 Newcastle United Brighton vs Watford Troy Deeney will be looking to fire Watford past Brighton (Getty Images)Brighton must still be wondering how they let a two-goal lead slip at Fulham midweek while Watford were a goal up with ten minutes to go at Wembley and lost. I feel it will be the Hornets who bounce back and pick up all three points in what promises to be an entertaining game. A quick word on the evergreen Seagulls’ striker Glenn Murray whose brace at Craven Cottage ended a barren eight-game drought. He has scored with ten of the 17 shots he has had on target this season – that is some record. Michael’s prediction: Brighton 1-2 Watford Burnley vs Southampton James Ward-Prowse scored against Crystal Palace during the week (Getty Images)Two of the most improved sides in the division go head-to-head at Turf Moor although the Clarets will be disappointed to have dropped points from a 2-0 lead at Old Trafford for the second successive season. Only United (7) are on a longer unbeaten run in the Premier League than Burnley (5) but the Saints came from a goal down to pick up a point at home to Crystal Palace midweek and I feel this is a game that has draw written all over it. Michael’s prediction: Burnley 1-1 Southampton – odds at 11/2. Chelsea vs Huddersfield Town Gonzalo Higuain is still looking for his first Chelsea goal (Getty Images)You must go back to 1996 for the last time Chelsea lost a Premier League game by a four-goal margin, but I expect the Blues to bounce back from their mauling at Bournemouth midweek against bottom of the table Huddersfield Town at Stamford Bridge. The Terriers have failed to score in their last five Premier League games and could not break down 10-man Everton at the John Smith’s Stadium earlier in the week. Things look bleak for new Town manager Jan Siewert although they certainly played with plenty of passion against Marco Silva’s side. Chelsea’ superior class to prevail. Michael’s prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Huddersfield Town Crystal Palace vs Fulham Michy Batshuayi could make his debut for Palace (AMA/Getty Images)Palace must do without their talisman Wilfried Zaha who was sent off late in the game at St Mary’s earlier in the week, but I think they can show they are no one-man band and keep the points. Fulham came from two-down at halftime to beat Brighton midweek, but they continue to leak goals although they are likely to play their part in a cracking London derby. Michael’s prediction: Crystal Palace 2-1 Fulham Everton vs Wolves Both sides gained valuable wins midweek with Everton grinding out a much-needed win at the John Smith’s Stadium. Wolves were more fluent in their 3-0 home win over West Ham and I feel they will get a result at what is sure to be a tense Goodison Park. The sides played out a thrilling 2-2 draw on the opening weekend of the season and I feel the points will again be shared on Saturday. Michael’s prediction: Everton 1-1 Wolves Cardiff City vs Bournemouth It is sure to be an emotional Cardiff City Stadium. Neil Warnock said it had been the most difficult week of his managerial career prior to the Bluebirds trip to Arsenal midweek and it will be the first home game for the club since the plane flown by David Ibbotson and carrying striker Emiliano Sala went missing over the English Channel ten days ago. The Cherries stuck four past Chelsea midweek, but I don’t see a repeat in the Welsh capital where one goal might be enough. Michael’s prediction: Cardiff City 0-0 Bournemouth Leicester City vs Manchester United Anthony Martial signed a new deal with Manchester United this week (Getty Images)Both sides came from behind to pick up a point midweek and Leicester impressed me enormously at Anfield where I felt they were good value for the draw. That said they have lost their last couple of home league games and I enjoy watching this new Manchester United side – something I couldn’t and wouldn’t have said earlier in the season. United have won their last five away games in all competitions and are clinical on the break. I feel the Red Devils will edge what promises to be a hugely entertaining game. Michael’s prediction: Leicester City 1-2 Manchester United Manchester City vs Arsenal Denis Suarez is in line to make his debut for Arsenal (Getty Images)Strange as it seems, I wonder if City scored too early against Newcastle midweek? Whatever the reason for their lethargic almost complacent performance they never brought their ‘A’ game to St James’ Park although that shouldn’t take anything away from a terrific win for the Magpies. City have now lost three league games having taken the lead and, when the dust has settled on the 2018/19 Premier League season, that might just be the difference as to whether they retain their title or not. Arsenal were no match for City on the opening day of the season and I can’t see them stopping a City side who will have been wounded by their north-east reverse. Michael’s prediction: Man City 4-1 Arsenal West Ham vs Liverpool Mohamed Salah has been in fine form for Liverpool (Getty Images)West Ham have lost their last four league games against Liverpool and conceded four goals in each of those losses, but they have won their last couple at the London Stadium and will be going all-out to put behind their recent away defeats at AFC Wimbledon and Wolves where they didn’t manage to muster a single shot on target. The Reds will have been disappointed not to have taken full advantage of Manchester City’s slip-up at Newcastle against Leicester, but they are five points clear with fourteen games to go and the title is in their hands. I expect to see Jurgen Klopp’s side return to winning ways on Monday evening. Michael’s prediction: West Ham 1-3 Liverpool Michael’s weekend wager: Man City, Chelsea and Spurs at 6/4 Michael Owen is a BetVictor Brand Ambassador. For more tips read his column here.

Climate Central conducted an analysis of 1,500 weather stations across the U.S. and found that 84 percent had a winter that was warmer than normal, including 47 percent that had a winter among their 10 warmest on record. Not a single station east of the Mississippi was cooler than average. Of the stations in the analysis, 117 had a record warm winter. In comparison, only six stations had their coldest winter on record. The heat spread from coast-to-coast with the Southeast being the hottest of the hot. Miami, Houston and Dallas all set seasonal heat records. Towns in Oklahoma approached 100°F. Chicago was snowless in January and February for the first time in 146 years of records. Massachusetts recorded its first February tornado. Spring arrived up to 28 days early in the Southeast. The National Park Service is forecasting a mid-March cherry blossom peak on the National Mall, which would be the earliest on record. The list keeps going, but you get the drift. February put the gears in motion for a spring like no other year. “I can only say how things are shaping up so far, but so far, it’s shockingly early,” Theresa Crimmins, the assistant director of the National Phenology Network, told Climate Central last month. February marked the 27th month in a row where daily record highs outpaced record lows in a record-setting fashion. Data through Feb. 26 — the last date for which data is available — show there were 6,045 record highs to only 112 record lows. That puts the ratio at 53-to-1, making it the most lopsided month on record. November 2016 previously held the record. Record highs have become increasingly common in recent decades due to climate change and will become ever more common unless carbon pollution is cut. While the Northeast is expected to have a cold snap this weekend, temperatures are poised to rebound by midweek. After that, the heat will roll on. The Climate Prediction Center forecasts that above normal temperatures are likely to continue for most of the U.S. through March and the rest of spring.

No snowfall surprises through early February
So far, the winter of 2019-2020 hasn’t exactly been one to remember. There’s been a few days where we were abnormally warm and cold, but nothing like the widespread Midwest Arctic plunge in late January last year. And the same thing can be said of our snowfall. In fact, there hasn’t been any big “blockbuster”-type snowstorms for our area this winter (and I know plenty of people that want to keep it that way). We’ve only had THREE days so far this season where we picked up more than one inch of snow for the daily total.
Current Winter 2019-2020 Snowfall Totals
Compared to average, our numbers are actually right on target, and even  just a bit on the high side. Since November, we’ve picked up just over 14″ of snow. The normal amount for this time of the year is 12.7″, so we’re not doing bad at all. And what about this time last year? Well, it was definitely more active than what we’ve been seeing so far in 2019-2020. On February 10th, 2019, the running total was 18.7″, exactly half foot above normal.
General Outline of Wednesday Amounts
So, we’ve just been picking up wave after wave of quick dustings and 1-3″ snow events, so far, and this Wednesday could be very similar. To check out the full forecast on what’s to come midweek, check out our forecast online or head over to Joe’s Weather Blog.  Early indications are pointing to another system throwing down light accumulations mainly east of I-35 with more moderate totals over Northern and Northeastern Missouri into Illinois.
February precip has a chance to be below normal around the Kansas City area.
Once March and April hits, monthly precip becomes a little more murky.
And what about the rest of winter? Is it possible that we get more intense snowstorms before the season ends? Well, according to the Climate Prediction Center, there’s some signs that the end of winter could be drier than normal at least. The early portions of spring could be a bit more up in air, which makes sense considering the wild rollercoaster of temperatures changes and rounds of precip that roll through from March to May. And of course, we’ll be watching out for the impact this winter’s snowpack around Kansas City and upriver will have on the springtime flooding, especially after a record-setting 2019.

Officials in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas on Monday issued mandatory evacuation orders as 155mph winds batter BahamasPeople check out the waves in the ocean as Hurricane Dorian continues to make its way toward the Florida coast on Monday in West Palm Beach, Florida. Photograph: Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesThe islands of the northern Bahamas continued to receive a pounding from Hurricane Dorian’s 155mph winds on Monday before the most powerful Atlantic cyclone of modern times set its sights on the US mainland, forcing millions of coastal residents there to flee inland to safety.Officials in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas on Monday issued mandatory evacuation orders ahead of the expected midweek arrival of the unpredictable monster storm.Strong winds were already battering the coast on Monday afternoon north of Miami, and Floridians on the eastern edge of the state are braced for risky tropical storm conditions from the early hours of Tuesday onwards even if the hurricane does not make landfall on the US mainland but passes within a few dozen miles.A home in the Tropical Acres Mobile Home Park, an area that is under mandatory evacuation with Hurricane Dorian off the coast of Florida, in Jensen Beach. Photograph: Adam Delgiudice/AFP/Getty ImagesAt a Monday morning press conference, Florida governor Ron DeSantis, warned residents of his state to “remain vigilant” and urged those in coastal evacuation zones from Palm Beach to the Georgia border to relocate inland.“Get out now while you have time, while there’s fuel available and you’ll be safe on the roads,” he said.He added: “We’re going to have some impacts one way or the other. Hopefully by tonight we’ll have a sense of [Dorian’s] movement, and once we see the definitive movement north that’s going to allow us to even more concisely identify the places along Florida’s coast that are most at risk.”Dorian has already left a trail of “unprecedented destruction” during its slow two-day crawl through Abaco Island and Grand Bahama, in the archipelago off Florida’s south-east coast.A road is flooded during the passing of Hurricane Dorian in Freeport, Grand Bahama. Photograph: Tim Aylen/APWith wind gusts above 200mph and a storm surge of more than 20ft, Dorian tore into the islands, destroying or severely damaging more than 13,000 homes, according to the Red Cross, and claiming at least one life, a seven-year-old boy who drowned in Abaco.“Based on information out of Abaco, the devastation is unprecedented,” Hubert Minnis, the Bahamas prime minister, said in a tweet.“Dorian remains an extremely dangerous storm. Our focus right now is rescue, recovery and prayer.”Residents in the Bahamas shared videos on social media showing scenes of catastrophic winds, torrential rain and flooding. There were also unconfirmed reports of bodies seen in Abaco that officials said first responders would investigate when conditions allowed.After parking itself over Grand Bahama for almost nine hours on Monday, Dorian was expected to pick up speed overnight and move north-west towards Florida’s east coast, then turn north on a path closer to Georgia and the Carolinas by midweek.A lifeguard tower is removed in preparation for Hurricane Dorian as the storm approaches the Florida coast on Saturday. Photograph: David Santiago/APDespite weakening slightly to a category 4 storm on Monday, experts at the National Hurricane Center in Miami warned of “life-threatening storm surges and dangerous hurricane force winds”, even if the centre of Dorian follows its predicted path of remaining out at sea.“It cannot be stressed enough that only a small deviation could bring the core of the extremely dangerous hurricane onshore of the Florida east coast,” Daniel Brown, a senior hurricane expert at the NHC, said in a late-morning advisory.“In addition, Dorian’s wind field is predicted to expand, which would bring hurricane-force winds to the east coast even if the track does change.”Experts have acknowledged that this storm’s precise course has been more difficult than most to plot, partly due to quickly changing patterns of steering atmospheric ridges in the Atlantic. At 11am on Monday, Dorian was still 110 miles east of West Palm Beach, home to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, and plodding slowly west at 1mph, with hurricane force winds extending 45 miles from its core.In South Carolina, Governor Henry McMaster announced the evacuation of eight coastal counties, affecting more than 800,000 residents, adding to earlier orders issued for large numbers of counties along the coasts of central and north Florida and Georgia.Elderly citizens are evacuated from an assisted living community ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Dorian in Kissimmee, Florida. Photograph: Gregg Newton/ReutersEvacuations in Florida included a number of hospitals and dozens of nursing homes and assisted living facilities along the coast.Dorian marked the fourth consecutive year that at least one Atlantic cyclone had reached category 5 status, denoting sustained winds topping 157mph, according to the NHC. Hurricane Matthew in 2016 followed a similar offshore track to Dorian’s expected path yet still caused hundreds of billions of dollars of damage in the US and 47 deaths.In 2017 Irma and Maria ripped through the Caribbean, the latter blamed for more than 3,000 deaths in Puerto Rico. Last year’s Hurricane Michael wrecked areas of the Florida Panhandle that are still struggling to recover.There is growing evidence that the climate crisis, through the warming of the atmosphere and higher sea temperatures, is contributing to a pattern of fiercer, more destructive hurricanes.Meanwhile, the UK’s Ministry of Defence announced that the Royal Fleet Auxiliary support vessel Mounts Bay, which has been in Caribbean since June, would shortly arrive in the Bahamas to help with recovery efforts.
