Quick Glance: Canada's Mild Winter Impacts Key Ice Road to Remote Arctic Diamond Mines
- An unusually warm winter in Canada this year has delayed the opening of a 400-kilometer ice road that is rebuilt every year as the main conduit for Rio Tinto, Burgundy Mines, and De Beers to access their diamond mines in the remote Arctic region.
- The delay in opening the Winter Road underscores the challenges that companies face as the mines that make Canada the world's third-largest diamond producer come to the end of their productive life.
- It also highlights the infrastructure hurdle for the Northwest Territories and Nunavut that are positioning themselves as the next frontiers in the exploration of critical metals, such as rare earth, cobalt, and lithium, in the transition to a greener future.
- The lack of infrastructure and the shortened seasonal use of the ice road could hurt investments needed to mine critical minerals, as the diamond-rich mines in Canada's remote Arctic region face complete closure by 2030.

Should you worry that cloud cover will obscure the eclipse? Meteorologist says maybe
ctvnews.ca/climate-and-environment/should-you-worry-that-cloud-cover-will-obscure-the-eclipse-meteorologist-says-maybe-1.6834763
Quick Glance: The Latest Eclipse Forecast Surprises Observers
- The weather forecast for the upcoming total solar eclipse is showing some curveballs with pockets of disruptive cloud coverage in the path of totality that contradict historical cloud cover data for April 8.
- While the Southern Plains have the greatest chance for a cloud-free viewing experience, other regions could be affected by storms bringing moist air from the Gulf of Mexico northward, potentially obstructing views of totality.
- A cloudy outlook doesn't necessarily mean the eclipse experience will be completely ruined, as it will still result in a day-to-night effect. However, those on the post-eclipse travel route could be at risk of thunderstorms.
- The total solar eclipse will stretch from Texas to Maine, passing over cities like Dallas, Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Buffalo, with parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana at an increased risk of thunderstorms.
