West
By late today, the Pacific Northwest will be hit by a potent winter storm.
With very cold air in place, most of the precipitation will start as snow and last for awhile.
Meanwhile, lingering strong winds over eastern Montana will produce dangerously low wind chills through today.
Highs today will range from well below zero in Montana to the low to mid 60s across southernmost sections of California, Arizona and New Mexico.
By tonight, heavy snow will be falling across western Washington, including Seattle. Slowly rising snow levels across western Oregon will change the snow to rain or freezing rain at the lowest levels.
Snowfall exceeding one foot will fall in the mountains and around the Hood Canal.
Blizzard warnings are in effect, quite rare for this area. Look for significant snow and freezing rain along the Columbia Gorge, as well.
Look for wind gusts exceeding 60 mph at times in the Columbia Gorge.
Snow levels will rise across northern California as rain and mountains snow increases over the northern half of the state.
Snow will spread into the interior Northwest, as far east as the northern Rockies.
Monday will be wintry over a good chunk of the West with snow expected as far east as Montana, Wyoming, the mountains of Colorado and northern New Mexico while rain and mountain snow slides southward through California.

About Fort McMurray
About Fort McMurray
Once an independent municipality, Fort McMurray merged with other regional entities in the mid-1990s to form the Wood Buffalo Regional Municipality. The town sits atop the world's largest oil deposit, lately made accessible thanks to oil sand exploration the process of extracting oil from subterranean water, sand, and clay. That's quite a long way from its early history as a 19th-century outpost and fur trading center. Today, Fort McMurray is home to business and commercial interests that derive their livelihood from large oil firms, which provide jobs, economic security, and community enrichment. Fort McMurray also boasts surprisingly diverse cultural offerings for a town its size and is home to Keyano College, a community-based center of higher education that focuses on the oil sands industry and draws students from across Canada for specialized study. Sporting events, sightseeing opportunities, and leisure activities provide welcome distraction, and The Fort McMurray Oil Barons, popular Junior Hockey League champions, are a familiar presence. Nature lovers find a variety of hiking, camping, and tour options available, including those that capitalize on the amazing Northern Lights and feature treks to Wood Buffalo National Park, Canada's largest park and home to the world's most populous habitat of bison.

Very good article about good health vs. dieting
目前，國際上對“啤酒肚”的成因有好幾種說法。有人說，“啤酒肚”是營養過剩導致，也有人說是營養不均衡造成。德國聯邦營養醫學會最新研究表明，“啤酒肚”與男性的遺傳基因有關，就像女性肥胖從臀部開始一樣，男性的脂肪大部分會儲存于腹部。
睡眠質量差也能造就啤酒肚
當然，每個男人的基因不同，引發“啤酒肚”的可能性也不同。一般來說，青少年有“啤酒肚”往往是因為營養過剩；對于中年人而言，睡眠質量問題是主因。隨著年齡的增長，男性深睡眠階段也隨之減少，由于睡眠質量差，荷爾蒙的分泌會隨之減少，荷爾蒙的缺乏會使體內脂肪組織增加並聚集于腹部，而且年紀越大影響越明顯。
此外，很多中年人長時間坐著辦公，缺乏運動，容易造成腹部脂肪囤積。在工作壓力較大的情況下，不少人會飲食過量，導致消化不良，這也易造成體重超標。也有人認為“心寬體胖”，胖起來是一種無憂無慮的表現。大多數的男性結了婚以後，身體就迅速發胖。一般男人的體內有大約300億個脂肪細胞，隨著年齡的增長，這些細胞就會增重一些。因此，幾乎每一個男人在30歲以後總是要比以前重一些，並且他的基因、荷爾蒙和減慢了的新陳代謝都開始對他的腹部產生影響。喝啤酒與腰圍沒關系
傳統觀念認為過量飲用啤酒將使人出現大大的“啤酒肚”，但最新研究顯示，喝多少啤酒實際上與人的腰圍沒有關系。
歐洲研究者發現，好飲啤酒者出現啤酒肚乃至肥胖的概率並不比不喝啤酒的人高。雖然啤酒算不上減肥飲料，但也並不是造成飲酒者超重的原因。研究者發現，排除如身體運動及教育等因素，經常喝啤酒的人與那些不喝或者很少喝的人相比，腰圍並不會較大，且體重也不會更重。
然而，在那些愛喝酒的男性中，不吸煙的人比吸煙的人更易發胖。最近，英國和捷克的研究人員對近2000名捷克人的飲酒習慣與身體肥胖狀況進行了隨機抽樣調查,發現“啤酒肚”與喝啤酒多少並沒有多大關系。實際上，一杯啤酒的熱量僅為150卡路裡，脂肪也只有0.3克，而且啤酒含有蛇麻子等物質，還可以降低得心髒病、糖尿病的概率。因此，一天喝一杯啤酒沒問題。
“啤酒肚”危害多多
美國疾病控制預防中心近日發表的一份報告稱，美國每年大約花750億美元用于治療與肥胖有關的疾病，這些錢數已超過了用于治療吸煙、酗酒引起的疾病。如果說全身肥胖在中年以後出現的概率較高，而腹部肥胖（“啤酒肚”）則是隨著年齡的增長而增加。腹部肥胖已引起世界衛生組織的高度重視，因為很多國家已進入老齡化社會，如不重視腹部肥胖，“啤酒肚”很可能成為影響健康的最危險的殺手之一。
腹部肥胖是加速衰老的主要因素之一，目前已證明有15種以上導致死亡的疾病與腹部肥胖有直接關系，其中包括冠心病、心肌梗死、腦栓死、乳腺癌、肝腎衰竭等。此前，有研究表明，挺著“啤酒肚”的男性得高血壓的概率是正常男性的8倍，得冠心病的概率是常人的5倍，得糖尿病的概率是常人的7倍，腦溢血和腦梗死等疾病在“啤酒肚”男性中也很常見。消除“啤酒肚”要多方面努力
要想消除“啤酒肚”，需要從多方面共同努力，比如，平時吃飯吃7分飽；每天至少運動30分鐘；睡前洗個溫水澡，改善睡眠狀況等。
日本醫學專家制定了一套隨時隨地可做的運動，對消除“啤酒肚”效果很好。一是雙手抱肘，兩腿並立；二是少乘電梯，步行上樓；三是凡能站著完成的事，最好站著完成，如等人、打電話、看報、穿鞋襪等。站立時稍踮腳尖，使身體處于比較緊張的狀態。專家還建議，要減掉肚子上的脂肪，最好在加強全身運動的情況下，再加強腹部運動。
此外，要一天三餐：不應忽略早餐和午餐。如果不吃午餐，你很可能飢腸轆轆地回到家裡，在晚餐桌上大吃一頓。少吃零食：只攜帶低脂肪、低能量的小吃或零食，如水果、蔬菜、餅幹等。
在辦公桌上放瓶水：一天內要時常喝水。當你想吃點甜東西時，就喝杯水，吃甜食的願望馬上就會消失。不要讓精神壓力促使多吃:當有精神壓力時，不要拿起食物，而是出去散步。體力活動比吃東西更有利于解除精神壓力。
不要在外面吃飯:飯館的飯往往比家做的飯含有更多的能量和脂肪。留意你單位附近提供低脂飯菜的餐館。不要去快餐連鎖店，因為那裡可供選擇的低脂肪食物很少。
不要一個人進食:要和同事、朋友一起進食。把注意力放在同伴的談話上，而不是食物上。不吃自助餐:自助餐往往導致吃得很多。
注意酒量:酒精含能量較高，它可阻止體脂的消耗，還降低意志力。如果你想飲些酒，最好與汽水混起來喝。多喝水和低能量飲料。
