  A moderate winter storm developing over the Four Corners on Tuesday is expected to spread heavy snow across the Plains and into the Upper Midwest by Thursday, and sleet and freezing rain are possible along the route, meteorologists say.
  
  "This heavy snow and mixed precipitation, especially where combined with strong winds, could result in hazardous travel conditions and impacts to infrastructure," the National Weather Service said.
  
  Much colder temperatures – and some possible near record lows over the Southwest – were expected in the wake of the storm, the service said.

  What do T-Mobile, Budweiser, and Jesus have in common? They’ll all be appearing on your TV screen during commercial breaks in tomorrow’s Super Bowl.

  Anybody who’s anybody in US politics these days has had the FBI search their home looking for classified documents (or at least, both Trump and Biden both have). Yesterday, it was Mike Pence’s turn, and the five-hour search turned up one new document marked classified and six pages without the markings. That’s in addition to the documents previously discovered by the former VP’s lawyers. It’s also come to light that Pence’s former boss has turned over additional classified documents to prosecutors that were not found during the search of Mar-a-Lago, per CNN.

  Russia said yesterday it plans to cut its oil output by about 5% next month in response to Western sanctions (or, as Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak put it, the “destructive energy policy of the countries of the collective West”). The move is likely to drive up prices and could therefore make inflation harder to tackle. In other Russia–Ukraine War news, Russia stepped up its missile strike campaign, and the pro-European prime minister of neighboring Moldova resigned, citing crises caused by Russia.

  U.S. energy firms cut the number of natural gas rigs by the most in a week since October 2017, while adding the most oil rigs in a week since June, energy services firm Baker Hughes Co. said in its closely followed report on Feb. 10.
  
  The total oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, rose two to 761 in the week to Feb. 10. That puts the total rig count up 126, or 20%, over this time last year.
  
  U.S. oil rigs rose 10 to 609 this week, while gas rigs fell eight to 150.
  
  U.S. oil futures were down about 1% so far this year after gaining about 7% in 2022. U.S. gas futures, meanwhile, have plunged about 44% so far this year after rising about 20% last year.
