SNOW
It may be summer, but snow has been falling in some parts of the South today.

Reports are coming in of snow settling in Oturehua in Central Otago this afternoon, following rain and some heavy hailstorms.

Forecaster Niwa earlier said there was snow on the hills near Lauder.

MetService said southerly winds were forecast to bring unsettled and cooler conditions to the South over the weekend, including snow to 1000 metres.

The cold southerlies were predicted to bring rain or showers to eastern areas, and "unseasonably cold temperatures to southern and central New Zealand".

TxGal, it's been a while since I thanked you for practically carrying this thread the way you do. So.....THANKS!

Anyway, I slept late this morning and after the wake-up chores were done, I discovered that CenturyLink was down. Not my phone, just internet. I made a few calls and no one knew anything. My brother in Iowa has remote sensors in his place down here up the road from me and he said his net was down earlier in the morning but was back up before I talked to him.

So, who knows, it is, after all, CentruyLink. But the Nashville explosion and lots of hacking things posted here in the forum have me worrying about losing internet because I have no TV and not even decent radio reception.. This leaves me just hoping for the best, and believe me, I sure am hoping!

Been pretty chilly here but we are having a couple of warmish days this weekend so I need to do a few outdoor things while I can.

I HATE WINTER!!!!!

Hey Martinhouse, you're welcome! With the holidays there isn't a ton to post, but it's a good break from all the political doom and gloom out there. And, when it's all over one way or the other, we'll all still wake up to the weather. It'll just be the dead of winter weather!

We haven't had much trouble, if any, with the outage here thankfully. Strange times we're living in!

We're doing the weather roller coaster again. We're in a bit of a warm spot and working to catch up before the next cold and rain event comes in starting tomorrow. Sheesh.

Surprise! Surprise! Any Greenland melting is....volcanic - Ice Age Now

Surprise! Surprise! Any Greenland melting is….volcanic
December 26, 2020 by Robert

No, it is not a surprise. This is what I’ve been saying for years. The Greenland ice is melting from below.

Newly Discovered Greenland Hot Rock Mantle Plume Drives Thermal Activities in the Arctic,” reads the title.

“A team of researchers discovered a flow of hot rocks, known as a mantle plume, rising from the core-mantle boundary beneath central Greenland that melts the ice from below (emphasis added).

“The results of their two-part study were published in the Journal of Geophysical Research.

“Knowledge about the Greenland plume will bolster our understanding of volcanic activities in these regions and the problematic issue of global sea-level rising caused by the melting of the Greenland ice sheet,” said Dr. Genti Toyokuni, co-author of the studies.

Greenland-geothermal-melting.png

Greenland Geothermal Melting

The North Atlantic region is awash with geothermal activity (emphasis added). Iceland and Jan Mayen contain active volcanoes with their own distinct mantle plumes, whilst Svalbard — a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean — is a geothermal area.

Toyokuni was able to utilize seismographs he installed on the Greenland ice sheet as part of the Greenland Ice Sheet Monitoring Network. Set up in 2009, the project sees the collaboration of researchers from 11 countries. The US-Japan joint team is primarily responsible for the construction and maintenance of the three seismic stations on the ice sheet.

26 Dec 2020 – Snow closed 50 villages in Khorasan Razavi.

Heavy snowfall, slippery roads and blizzards closed the roads to 50 villages in the regions of Kalat and Dargaz in northern Khorasan Razavi.

On Friday evening, the General Directorate of Highways and Road Transportation of Khorasan Razavi closed the two main roads of Mashhad-Kalat and Quchan-Dargaz within the city of Quchan and the side road of Dargaz-Kalat due to heavy snowfall, blizzard and reduced drivers’ visibility.

The governor of Dargaz told IRNA: “The rural roads in the mountainous areas have been blocked due to snowfall.”

Ali Farahi added: 24 villages in Miankuh village, between Quchan and Dargaz cities, 10 villages in Zanglanlu village on the border of Kalat city with Dargaz and five mountainous villages in Kalate Chenar region, Nokhandan district have been closed due to snow and blizzard.

The governor of Dargaz said rescue forces have released eight vehicles trapped on the snowy roads of the city and have provided assistance to them.

The governor of Kalat also said: due to snowfall and slippery roads in this mountainous city, the communication road of Jorf, Momenabad, Babafarji, Aghdash, Babar Mozan, Sang Divar, Robat, Ash, crossroads, old line, old leather and old tray is currently blocked. Is.Mehdi Naseri added: A passenger bus traveling from Kalat to Mashhad was caught in a blizzard in the area of Gojgi Pass, which passed safely with the help of traffic forces and reached Mashhad.

He continued: Red Crescent forces, traffic police and traffic police today helped 6 families caught in the snow and blizzard.
The center of the 75,000-strong city of Dargaz is located 254 km north of Mashhad. Dargaz has 139 villages consisting of four central parts, Lotfabad, Chapeshloo and Nokhandan. 30,000 people of this city live in villages. Dargaz borders the Republic of Turkmenistan to the north.

Well, my Internet finally came back on around mid-afternoon yesterday and I was able to check my weather forecast. I found that by midweek we'll be getting lots of rain and it's supposed to freeze probably by Thursday. Because of the New Year, Thursday was to be the day I get my Social Security deposit at the bank, but now I'll have to wait and do that on Jan. 4th. (If I'm lucky!) So tomorrow I'll have to do any shopping I need to do and also top off the truck's gas tank.

When there's ice, I don't drive on my rural Arkansas roller coaster roads, and this roller coaster weather sure can mess uP any schedule I try to make for shopping or outdoor chores.

New Year’s Eve storm to move across US
December 27, 2020 by Robert

A new storm is forecast to cross the country, from California to New York, with heavy rain, snow, ice and strong winds.

On Sunday night, the storm will move into San Francisco and Los Angeles with heavy rain, gusty winds and mountain snow.

By Tuesday and Wednesday, the storm will move into the central U.S. with heavy snow – 3 to 6 inches or even more – for Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Heavy rain is forecast fall along the Mississippi River Valley, and strong to severe thunderstorms could inundate Texas.

It is possible (though I don’t think probable) that Dallas could even see a small amount of snow.

Heavy Snow Blankets Britain - Electroverse

HEAVY SNOW BLANKETS BRITAIN
DECEMBER 28, 2020 CAP ALLON

Barely weeks after The Met Office announced Britain would no longer see sub-zero days and snow by the 2040s to 2060s, the weather agency has been forced to issue warnings of snow and ice as the UK suffers its biggest December dumping in years (also, that BBC link provided above is aimed at school children–more disgusting propaganda).

The Met Office warnings are in place from midnight until 6pm on Monday, December 28, and they advise of the potential for injuries from icy surfaces and delays to trains and road transport.

Drivers have been encouraged to avoid travelling and to take extra care in dangerous conditions — several crashes have already reported.

Snow began falling Sunday afternoon, and had blanketed much of the UK by Monday morning.

The UK Met Office had recently suggested global warming will soon signal the end of sledging, snowmen and snowball fights: “Much of the lying snow will have disappeared entirely except over the highest ground,” says Dr Lizzie Kendon, a senior Met Office scientist responsible for the report.

However, the real world reality is once again kicking the scientists while their down with even the hills of South West England receiving their best December dusting in years–which is actually where I’m based (spending the holiday with family), and after publishing this article I’m taking my children to go sledging, build snowmen and have snowball fights in the snow they were supposedly never going to see.

I wonder if the really thick layer of limestone I am living on is one of the reasons that a lot of well-off and also ex-military are retiring here in the northern central and northwestern part of Arkansas.?

Record Cold Hits the Russian Arctic Coast - Electroverse

uten_navn-1-e1609242872666.jpg


RECORD COLD HITS THE RUSSIAN ARCTIC COAST
DECEMBER 29, 2020 CAP ALLON

Mainstream media outlets are quick to report record Arctic heat but they tend to fall silent when record cold descends, meaning the folks that lap up MSM content are only-ever privy to one side of the story (no wonder they think the world is ending).

Not only do record cold temperatures go largely unreported by western news sources, but the record heat isn’t even properly explained.

Much was made of the 38C reported on June 20 in the Russian town of Verkhoyansk, with WMO spokesperson, Clare Nullis, quick to leap on the reading: “[it] comes amid a prolonged Siberian heat wave and an increase in wildfire activity” and that “climate change isn’t taking a break because of COVID-19.” However, after conferring with Roshydromet, the Russian agency responsible for reporting Eastern Siberia’s weather, to see exactly how unusual this event was, Nullis was told that this region “has very, very cold extremes in winter but is also known for its extremes in summer.”

Nullis was told that temperatures regularly hit 30+C in Verkhoyansk, and she likely already knew that Verkhoyansk recorded 37.3C back in 1988, and that the Article circle logged 37.8C way back in 1915 — yet even wit this knowledge, Nullis still felt obliged to lay a reading of 38C solely at the feet of man-made global warming: “You know, temperatures are carrying on rising [and] we see continuing extreme weather events. We’ve seen satellite images this morning, and it’s just one mass of red — it’s striking and worrying,” she said.

But this is a painfully unscientific approach, and an insult to the decades-worth of meticulously thought out theories from climate researchers of the past, researchers that were permitted to express their findings without fear of persecution, before the weather had been weaponized, and before the politicized global warming narrative had destroyed modern climate science.

Those researchers of the past were free to discover that during low solar output the jet streams weaken and revert to a meridional (wavy) flow.

They found out that these pronounced, arching patterns can persist for months at a time, and that they have the effect of locking unseasonably cold weather on one side and unseasonably hot weather on the other.

They discovered the phenomenon is also responsible for diverting cold Arctic air to the lower latitudes, while kicking warm Tropical air anomalously-far north — fully explaining why northern Siberia came out usually warm this summer months while southern Siberia was suffering unusual bouts of cold.


RECORD COLD IS NOW RULING

Of late, and across practically ALL of transcontinental Russia, anomalous winter cold is now dominating —a fact you’ll never hear if all you digest is MSM propaganda– Arctic Russia included, with the region appearing to have launched a wintry counter to the summer’s anomalous heat as “a freeze harsher than far below normal” hits, reports thebarentsobserver.com.

According to Roshydromet, temperatures across Siberia are now setting new all-time record lows. The institute wrote on Dec. 28 that “historical records have fallen on the last day in Barnaul, Novokuznetsk and Kemerovo.”



Arctic Daytime Highs on Dec. 29 [meteoinfo.ru].

Roshydromet’s report continues, warning that the unprecedented cold will persist across much of Siberia, including in the Krasnoyarsk region where lows of –50C (-58F) are forecast between December 29-31.

The institute added that the extreme cold has lingered in the Taymyr Peninsula and Yamal for almost a week now.

While in Igarka, a small town on the Yenisey river, record lows on Christmas Day of –50C (-58F) and below were reported, with the same going for the northern and eastern parts of the Yamal-Nenets region–these are readings among the lowest ever recorded in the northern hemisphere.

In addition, the crippling cold has also complicated shipping traffic in the Russian Arctic as it has lead to a “significant” and faster-than-expected refreezing of the far northern rivers, bays and oceans.

China Plans Record LNG Imports to Battle Unprecedented Cold - Electroverse

CHINA PLANS RECORD LNG IMPORTS TO BATTLE UNPRECEDENTED COLD
DECEMBER 29, 2020 CAP ALLON

China’s Sinopec Corp pledged Tuesday to maximize domestic gas productions and raise imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to record rates as a cold wave hitting large parts of the country this week stretches demand for the winter heating fuel, reports Reuters (SINGAPORE).

China’s central economic planner, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has urged companies to step up imports of natural gas and thermal coal as temperatures are set to fall sharply.

Sinopec, already Asia’s number one importer of LNG, said that its LNG imports into receiving terminals in north China’s Tianjin and east China’s Qingdao will reach new all-time highs in early January.

The company will also increase domestic natural gas production by another one million cubic meters a day by the end of January by accelerating the drilling of new development wells.

It’s also maximizing extracting gas from its underground storage in central and east China, while maintaining high inventories at LNG storage tanks, the company said.

The increased demand is due to a mass of Arctic air currently engulfing much of the Asian continent: from Central/Eastern Russia, through Mongolia, Kazakhstan, India, Pakistan, and the eastern half of China, temperatures some 20C below the winter average are dominating.

This is the scene today, Tuesday, December 29 — I can’t stress how large of an area this extreme cold is covering:

So should you.

The COLD TIMES are returning, the mid-latitudes are REFREEZING in line with historically low solar activity, cloud-nucleating Cosmic Rays, and a meridional jet stream flow.

Both NOAA and NASA appear to agree, if you read between the lines, with NOAA saying we’re entering a ‘full-blown’ Grand Solar Minimum in the late-2020s, and NASA seeing this upcoming solar cycle (25) as “the weakest of the past 200 years”, with the agency correlating previous solar shutdowns to prolonged periods of global cooling here.

Furthermore, we can’t ignore the slew of new scientific papers stating the immense impact The Beaufort Gyre could have on the Gulf Stream, and therefore the climate overall.

Noctilucent clouds almost completely missing over Antarctica

Something strange is happening 50 miles above Antarctica. Or rather, not happening. Noctilucent clouds (NLCs), which normally blanket the frozen continent in December, are almost completely missing. These images from NASA's AIM spacecraft compare Christmas Eve 2019 with Christmas Eve 2020:

"The comparison really is astounding," says Cora Randall of the University of Colorado's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. "Noctilucent cloud frequencies are close to zero this year."

NLCs are Earth's highest clouds. They form when summertime wisps of water vapor rise up from the poles to the edge of space. Water crystallizing around specks of meteor dust 83 km (~50 miles) above Earth's surface creates beautiful electric-blue structures, typically visible from November to February in the south, and May to August in the north.

A crucial point: Noctilucent clouds form during summer. And that's the problem. Although summer officially started in Antarctica one week ago, the southern stratosphere still seems to think it's winter. In particular, the stratospheric polar vortex, which should be breaking up around now, is stubbornly hanging on. The polar vortex chokes off gravity waves, which would normally carry water vapor into the upper atmosphere. Without water vapor, NLCs cannot form.

Above: These plots of ozone hole size and zonal wind speed highlight unusual conditions in the southern stratosphere in Dec. 2020.

"The southern hemisphere stratosphere is very unusual this year," says Randall. "The ozone hole is exceptionally large, until recently zonal winds have been blowing in the wrong direction, and overall the stratosphere is much more 'winter-like' than it should be in December."

Eventually, the stratosphere will shift into its summer-like state, and NLCs can begin to blossom. But when? Researchers don't know. If the clouds remain suppressed only one more week, it will break previous records of low NLC activity in the southern hemisphere. Stay tuned for updates right here on Spaceweather.com.

Study suggests great earthquakes as cause of Arctic warming - Ice Age Now

Study suggests great earthquakes as cause of Arctic warming
December 30, 2020 by Robert


The study also says there have been two – count em! two! – periods of warming in the last 100 years. “First in the 1920s and ’30s, and then beginning in 1980 and continuing to this day.”
Looks like humans may not be at fault after all.

The study also ties into a post on this website just three days ago: Surprise! Surprise! Any Greenland melting is….volcanic I’m assuming that someone will soon find a connection between the earthquakes and the volcanic activity.

A researcher from MIPT has proposed a new explanation for the Arctic’s rapid warming. In his recent paper in Geosciences, he suggests that the warming could have been triggered by a series of great earthquakes.

Global warming is one of the pressing issues faced by civilization. It is widely believed to be caused by human activity, which increases the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. However, this view does not explain why temperatures sometimes rise fairly abruptly.

In the Arctic, one of the factors driving climate warming is the release of methane from permafrost and metastable gas hydrates in the shelf zone. Since researchers began to monitor temperatures in the Arctic, the region has seen two periods of abrupt warming: first in the 1920s and ’30s, and then beginning in 1980 and continuing to this day.

Leopold Lobkovsky, who authored the study reported in this story, is a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the head of the MIPT Laboratory for Geophysical Research of the Arctic and Continental Margins of the World Ocean. In his paper, the scientist hypothesized that the unexplained abrupt temperature changes could have been triggered by geodynamic factors. Specifically, he pointed to a series of great earthquakes in the Aleutian Arc, which is the closest seismically active area to the Arctic.

To test his hypothesis, Lobkovsky had to answer three questions. First, did the dates of the great earthquakes coincide with temperature jumps? Second, what is the mechanism that enables the lithospheric disturbances to propagate over more than 2,000 kilometers from the Aleutian Islands to the Arctic shelf region? Third, how do these disturbances intensify methane emissions?

The answer to the first question came from historical data analysis. It turned out that the Aleutian Arc was indeed the site of two series of great earthquakes in the 20th century (more details below the text). Each of them preceded an abrupt rise in temperature by about 15 to 20 years.

It took a model of lithospheric excitation dynamics to answer the second question. The model used by the researcher describes the propagation of so-called tectonic waves and predicts that they should travel at about 100 kilometers per year. This agrees with the delay between each of the great earthquake series and the subsequent temperature hike, as it took the disturbances 15 to 20 years to get transmitted over 2,000 kilometers.

To answer the third question, the researcher proposed the following explanation: The deformation waves arriving in the shelf zone cause minor additional stresses in the lithosphere, which are sufficient to disrupt the internal structure of the metastable gas hydrates and permafrost storing captured methane. This releases methane into the water of the shelf and atmosphere, leading to climate warming in the region due to the greenhouse effect.

“There is a clear correlation between the great earthquakes in the Aleutian Arc and the phases of climate warming. A mechanism exists for physically transmitting the stresses in the lithosphere at the appropriate velocities. And these added stresses are capable of destroying metastable gas hydrates and permafrost, releasing methane. Each of the three components in this scheme is logical and lends itself to mathematical and physical explanation. Importantly, it explains a known fact — the abrupt rise in temperature anomalies in the Arctic — which remained unaccounted for by the previous models,” Lobkovsky commented.

According to the researcher, his model will benefit from discussion and will likely be improved, and there is much to be done in order to confirm or rule out the proposed mechanism.

The research reported in this story was carried out at MIPT with the support of the Russian Science Foundation, grant No. 20-17-00140.

Two great earthquake series. The first one started with a magnitude 8 earthquake in 1899 in the eastern part of the Aleutian Arc, followed by two more great earthquakes in the western part of the islands, with magnitudes of 8.3 and 8.4. The second series began with an 8.6 magnitude earthquake in 1957, followed by the 9.3 magnitude 1964 Alaskan earthquake. The following year, an 8.7 magnitude earthquake shook the western part of the arc. Each of these devastating seismic events had underground sources spanning hundreds of kilometers.

Note: The Aleutian Islands are an archipelago comprising dozens of islands with 40 active and 17 dormant volcanoes

Record cold in Siberia – For an entire week!
December 29, 2020 by Robert

The expression “Siberian frosts” has long been heard, but this time the frosts are severe even for Siberia.

Average daily air temperatures are below the usual value by 10-12, and in the southern regions as much as 20 degrees below the usual value!

On the morning of December 29, the air temperature in the Kemerovo region reached -42 degrees, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and in the Irkutsk region the air cooled down to -46 degrees. And in Evenkia down to -51 degrees.

Such weather has been holding for a week. Every day, record low temperatures are recorded here. On December 28, records were broken in the Kemerovo region: in Tisul the thermometers showed -43.6 degrees, in Kemerovo -45.4, in Novokuznetsk -40.6 degrees. In the Altai Territory, Barnaul (-40.1), Biysk (-43.4), Zmeinogorsk (-38.8) – all were included in the list of record holders.

According to forecasters, abnormal cold weather will linger in Siberia until the end of the week, and temperatures will remain abnormally low.
