A blizzard warning was in effect for Pennsylvania’s Erie County on Thursday, December 5, as heavy snow and powerful winds affected the Great Lakes.The National Weather Service (NWS) warned the county to prepare for additional snow accumulations between 8 and 14 inches, with locally higher amounts south of Interstate 90, and wind gusts up to 45 mph.“Whiteout conditions are expected and will make travel treacherous and potentially life-threatening,” the weather service said. “Travel is expected to be impossible today and should be postponed.”Significant blowing snow would reduce visibilities to below a quarter of a mile, per the NWS.Footage taken by Ryan Smith shows minimal visibility on the northbound side of Interstate 79 in Erie on Thursday morning.

Authorities fear a woman in western Pennsylvania who disappeared while looking for her cat may have been swallowed by a sinkhole — a phenomenon likely caused by mine subsidence. Search and rescue crews have not seen or heard anything from 64-year-old Elizabeth Pollard since she disappeared on Monday evening, but a sinkhole appeared around the same time about 20 feet (6 meters) from where she parked her car, raising fears that she had fallen into the void. Sinkholes are not always associated with mining.

The search for a woman who is believed to have fallen into a sinkhole in western Pennsylvania has become a recovery effort after two treacherous days of digging through mud and rock produced no signs of life, authorities said Wednesday. The crew working to find 64-year-old Elizabeth Pollard packed up Wednesday evening and planned to return Thursday morning. Pennsylvania State Police spokesperson Trooper Steve Limani said during a news conference that authorities no longer believe they will find Pollard alive, but that work to find her remains continues.

The current United Nations framework for fighting climate change should be preserved, the United States told the International Court of Justice, which is working on drafting fresh global legal guidelines.The UN climate change regime "embodies the clearest, most specific, and the most current expression of states' consent to be bound by international law in respect of climate change," said Margaret Taylor, legal adviser at the State Department.
Swaths of Pennsylvania and many other states are honeycombed with old, unstable mines that can cause the earth to suddenly give way and threaten people and property. At about the same time, a sinkhole appeared roughly 20 feet (6 meters) from where she had parked her car, in an area above an old coal mine. There are as many as 500,000 abandoned mines nationwide — far outnumbering those that are still active, according to the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration.
The Environmental Protection Agency enhanced enforcement efforts this year, doubling financial penalties issued to polluters and issuing the first-ever arrest for a climate change-related crime, the agency said in a report Thursday. The EPA said it concluded more than 1,850 civil cases, a 3.4% increase over 2023, and charged 121 criminal defendants, a 17.6% increase over the previous year. The “revitalized enforcement and compliance efforts" resulted in the reduction or elimination of more than 225 million pounds of pollution in overburdened communities, the agency said in its final report on Biden-era enforcement actions before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January.
