A tiny bug that causes a disease known as Citrus Greening has been discovered in the Southern California City of Redlands. The Asian Citrus Psyllid spread the disease between trees.
So far Citrus Greening hasn't been found in Southern California, but because the bug has been seen, the City of Redlands has approved funding for insecticides that will kill the bug.
Because there is no cure for Citrus Greening, it is especially dangerous for citrus growers. Once a tree is infected, the only way to get rid of the disease is to destroy the tree.

Local government officials are now declaring at least one area of the Tibetan mountains a disaster zone.
There is a bit of relief, sun and warmer temperatures are expected through the weekend which could help melt snow.
