Late Autumn snowstorm could spell trouble for leafy trees

DENVER (KDVR) -- As a fall storm blankets the Front Range with snow, arborists are already gearing up for a busy week ahead.At Ross Tree Company, General Manager David Boswell says he's preparing for significant damage if forecasted snow totals pan out. View the latest Weather Alerts in Denver and across Colorado on FOX31 "With all the leaves on the trees we may see a lot of failure around the metro area,” said Boswell.Certain types of trees, like maple trees, are especially susceptible this time of year, according to Boswell. Unlike ash and elm trees, which have mostly lost their leaves at this point, many maples are just starting to turn color. “Those leaves could potentially catch that snow, weigh those down, and if you have structural issues in the tree, it’s going to bring those branches down and cause a lot of issues and potentially a lot of failure around the community,” he said.He says routine pruning can alleviate some of those concerns, but says at this point, it's ...

Belgium’s terror attack blunders tarnish its upcoming EU presidency

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:08:49 GMT

BRUSSELS — Belgium had big plans for its upcoming Council presidency. But its handling of the October 16 shooting spree by Tunisian gunman Abdesalem Lassoued, which left two Swedish football supporters dead, has since led to a series of embarrassing revelations. Lassoued was living residing in the country as an undocumented migrant after Belgian authorities reject his asylum claim in 2020, and was known to law enforcement for “suspicious activities.” His country of origin, Tunisia, had even asked for his extradition — a fact missed by the country’s judicial system. Belgium’s justice minister quit while the country’s interior affairs and asylum and migration ministers had to appear twice before lawmakers to explain why they, too, shouldn’t resign. For Belgium it’s been an awkward lead-up to its Council presidency, having wanted to impress in those very areas where it has now clearly failed: migration and the fight against organized crime.
