But, all it really says is that the downward trend of the last few (minor?) solar cycles suggests the next solar cycle (24?) will be a GSM. Can't see read the small blue print on what the chart is measuring.

‘Going-to-the-Sun’ Road Buried Under 80 ft (24.4 M) Snow Drifts

June 16, 2020 Cap Allon

It takes months to fully clear winter’s snow at Glacier National Park’s Going-to-the-Sun Road, located in northern Montana, and the last big hurdle is an area known as ‘Big Drift’ where the pack reaches 40-80 ft annually.

The pack is at the higher-end of that range this year, but as weather.com and the National Park Service (NPS) desperately reassures us — this is still within the norm and a trend of increasing snowpack (which has been the case over the past few years) in no way disproves our beloved global warming theory.

But isn’t this the same NPS that for almost two decades warned the world that glaciers at Glacier National Park would be gone by the year 2020? The same NPS that went to the trouble of erecting signs across all of its visitor centers to serve as some 2020 doomsday countdown? Embarrassingly for these spineless, bandwagon frauds, that deadline of doom is about to uneventfully pass and the service has rather sheepishly pulled all ‘2020 signs’ from its displays after the computer models it relied upon from the early 2000s, which convincingly foretold of unending glacial retreat, turned out to be catastrophically inaccurate.

The ‘Big Drift’ is located just east of Logan Pass, at an elevation of 6,646 feet, where crews arrived on Friday to tackle the monster snowpack.

And while the AGW cabal continue to erase their past prophetic failures from the history books, one of their most infamous was that “snow would become a thing of the past” — and yet here we are:

80 ft snow drift near Logan Pass, Montana — June, 2020

Those extreme-environmentalists and disproven-scientists behind Montana’s snow-less predictions should have taken that Going-to-the-Sun Road a long time ago–because it’s the Sun and the Sun alone that changes Earth’s climate.

Every great civilization of the past acknowledged the Sun’s power, and they all worshiped it as a God. The Egyptians called it “Ra”, the Minoans “Ariadne”, and the Romans “Sol”.

Today, we humans consider ourselves the most powerful body in the solar system. Perhaps our recent technological advances and achievements have given rise to a sense of all-conquering self-confidence. But the Sun, as we call it, ended every one of those great civilizations of the past, and it will take down our modern one, too–and not in some raging fiery explosion but by a mere dimming of its energy known as the Grand Solar Minimum.


The peak and fall of past civilization overlaying the GISP2 Ice Core.

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

Even NASA agrees, in part, with their forecast for this upcoming solar cycle (25) seeing it as “the weakest of the past 200 years,” with the agency correlating previous solar shutdowns to prolonged periods of global cooling here.






Prepare for the COLD learn the facts, relocate if need be, and grow your own.

All of the articles showing temps being a good deal lower for this time of year is the reason I'm going to go ahead and plant all the things I should have planted about six weeks ago. I know there will be hot days and I may need to shade some things, but with the days and nights both somewhat cooler as I'm already seeing, hopefully my late plantings should be okay. And there's always the sheets for shading.

Another tidbit of good news personally here. ALL of my planting containers have the good dirt blend in them now and are ready to plant. I may wait until this weekend, as it's supposed to rain and the overcast days will be better than hot sun for the newly transplanted plants.

And my nephew said he can cut heavy rebar with his Sawsall, so I can finally make usable posts from the dozen 20' pieces of 5/8" rebar I've had lying around here for years and years. And tomorrow he is picking up the transparent roofing panels and related materials for the top of my greenhouse garden.

Also, I think they want to clear out my original big garden. I will definitely let them if this is the case. If this happens, the whole thing will be checked and wherever the raccoons were getting in to murder all my chickens will be totally repaired. If our grocery stores are truly empty starting soon, having that big garden back in use could be vital. I could even offer to let nephew and his kids plant in a big part of it. Found out today that the 16 year old loves sweet potatoes so he'd probably be enthusiastic about clearing, just for that reason alone.

Even if I had to plant this big garden in summer and fall, to avoid the rotting that happens with the heavy spring rains that look to be the new normal, we could still grow an awful lot of food in there.

Well, time to think about cooking a meal. I don't get hungry when I'm busy and haven't had a single bite of food yet today.

Hope we didn't all get zapped too much from that CME today, but a lot of stuff sure did get done!

Mississippi River quietly climbing record charts again - 2nd highest ever number of days above flood stage

Dr. Josh Eachus
wbrz.com
Tue, 16 Jun 2020 12:05 UTC

1592398718164.png

For the second consecutive year, the Mississippi River is spending a chart-topping number of days above the flood stage of 35 feet. As of Monday, June 15, the gauge at Baton Rouge had been above flood stage for 150 consecutive days (since January 18). That is the second highest total on record; only 2019 went longer with 212 spanning from January 5 to August 4. For perspective, historically, most Mississippi River flood events have lasted for well under 100 days.

This year's Mississippi River flood has garnered less attention, partially due to other significant news events, and also because the levels did not substantially threaten the area with any major impacts. The peak crest (provisional) was 44.58 feet on April 16—the 5th highest on record. In 2019, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers considered operating the Morganza Spillway for just the third time in its history, but this ultimately did not happen. The Bonnet Carre Spillway did open in 2019—the first time that it had ever been used in consecutive years. From April 3 to May 1, 2020, the structure operated for a third straight year. This marked the 14th use since construction completed in 1931.

The latest forecast from the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service is for the Baton Rouge gauge to be below flood stage by June 21. A minimal rain forecast in the drainage basin to the north should help this forecast verify. As the WBRZ Weather Team has reported in the past, rain, and not snowmelt is the main culprit for river rises.

“Scottish Government’s failure to meet carbon emission target blamed on Cold Weather”

June 17, 2020 Cap Allon

I’m not making it up, this is a genuine headline run by the heraldscotland.com on June 16, 2020…

THE FAILURE of the Scottish Government to meet its own climate emissions target –net zero by 2045– has been blamed on the “beast from the east” bringing cold weather to the nation in 2018, reads the opening lines of the article.

According to statistics published yesterday, emissions in the power sector from fossil fuels actually increased by 51 per cent to 2.6 gigawatts from 2017-2018, with overall source emissions rising 1.5 per cent over the same period.

greenhouse-gas-emissions-1.jpg

This is the graph run by the heraldscotland.com (I have no real idea what it means either).

Scotland’s Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said the annual increase is “certainly disappointing” and stressed that the bar has been “intentionally been set to provide an extremely stretching pathway to net zero”.

Cunningham put the increase in emissions from 2017 to 2018 down to “changes to the national energy mix and freezing temperatures from the beast from the east during the early months of 2018” which led to “a rise in emissions from energy supply and heating use for buildings.”

She added: “While emissions reductions were seen in all other sectors including transport, industry and agriculture, during 2018 the overall effect was a 1.5 per cent increase and we expect a substantial part of that was driven by the cold weather.”

Oh what a twisted, illogical mess these poor environmentalists have gone and made for themselves. Rising carbon dioxide levels are delivering catastrophic heating, goes their rhetoric — yet CO2 emissions are rising because folks need to heat their homes in order to stave off the record cold.

If this warped ideology wasn’t restricting our ability to prepare for what’s really coming then I’d surely piss myself laughing.

In addition, it appears that 2019 and 2020 aren’t looking too hot for these delusional carbon-(the backbone of all life)-hating hippies either. Chilly conditions in 2019 have tossed another spanner into the works, and now, thanks to the COVID-19 debacle, the low emission plans for the cities of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Dundee have all been put on hold.

Despite all of these major setbacks, the Scottish Government “remains absolutely committed to ending Scotland’s emissions contribution by 2045” with a 75 per cent reduction target by 2030.

Cunningham concluded: “Covid-19 means that our starting position has most definitely changed, but our ambitions have not. We are committed to delivering a green recovery from this pandemic.”

In other words, the BS goes on.

And will continue to go on.

Until the returning COLD TIMES render large parts of the mid-latitudes uninhabitable and people begin burning whatever the hell they can find to keep themselves warm (I recommend Greta Thunberg’s book, “No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference”).

History repeats.

Earth’s climate is cyclic, never linear.

And the next spell of GLOBAL COOLING is dawning in line with historically low solar activity, cloud-nucleating Cosmic Rays, and a meridional jet stream flow.

Even warm-mongering NASA agrees, in part at least, with their forecast for this upcoming solar cycle (25) seeing it as “the weakest of the past 200 years,” with the agency correlating previous solar shutdowns to prolonged periods of global cooling here.

Widespread outbreak of noctilucent clouds over Europe

Noctilucent clouds over Bergen, Norway on June 17, 2020

Night is supposed to be dark. But not last night. Across northern and central Europe on June 16-17, the sky lit up with electric-blue ripples from noctilucent (night-shining) clouds. "It was a very bright display," reports Arnim Berhorst, who sends this picture from Bergen, Norway.

"The noctilucent clouds (NLCs) were so widespread, I had to assemble 12 images to capture the complete panorama," says Berhorst. Similar displays were recorded as far south as Germany, Poland, and Switzerland.

NLCs are Earth's highest clouds. Seeded by meteoroids, they float at the edge of space 83 km above the ground. The clouds form when summertime wisps of water vapor rise up to the mesosphere, allowing water to crystallize around specks of meteor smoke.

Last summer, NLCs spread as far south as Los Angeles and Las Vegas, setting records for low-latitude sightings. 2020 is shaping up to be just as good. Record-cold temperatures in the mesosphere are boosting the production of NLCs, pushing them farther south with each passing night. Stay tuned!

I'm not real interested in all the financial and digital money stuff these guys talk about when they get together for an interview, but they usually have plenty of other good information along with it.

I still wonder what all the digital-money-only people think they're going to buy anything with if the grids ever go down in a big way?

I've been sanitizing the cash I withdraw at the bank on Social Security day ever since I started isolating myself each flu season. It's probably been about ten years that I've been doing this so it's rather second nature for me by this time. The only extra problem I've run into since the Covid-19 thing came up is how the some of the stores don't open super early like they used to. Plus my lung capacity is pretty bad by now and I can get pretty close to blacking out if I wear a mask. But so far, I'm managing in my little nearby town. Wonder if I'll ever even set foot in a Walmart again?

Anyway, thanks for posting the link to this latest Adapt 2030 video. If my nephew shows up anytime soon, I may have to wait and watch it tonight, since it's a long one.

Hailstorms cause heavy losses to peach, apricot and plum crops in Swat, Pakistan - 50% of orchards damaged

1592416319739.png

Peach growers and traders in the Swat District -a district in the Malakand Division of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan- say they have suffered heavy losses caused by the recent hail and windstorms.

According to the Swat Agriculture Research Centre, about 70,000 tons of peach of various varieties is produced in Swat where the harvest begins in May and continues till September. The valley produces about 70 per cent of the total produce in the country.

The farmers claim that this year, hailstorms and rain damaged more than 50 per cent of the orchards; mainly those of peaches, apricot and plums.

The affected farmers have demanded of the government to help them make up for the losses. When contacted, District Development Advisory Committee chairman Fazal Hakim Khan said the government was aware about the losses caused by hailstorm and would help the affected farmers.

Hundreds of transporters are also connected with the peach produce in Swat, where according to the dealers, about 200 trucks loaded with the fruit move to different parts of the country daily.

Spain: Massive hailstorm could have huge impact on European stone fruit season

: Nichola McGregor
Fresh Plaza
Wed, 17 Jun 2020 13:16 UTC

1592416416104.png

A massive hail storm on Tuesday evening in Lleida and Huesca hit the stone fruit growing areas of Torres de Segre, Soses, Alcarras, Aitona, Binaced, Binefar, Ximenelles, Alcolea de Cinca, Bellver de Cinca and Fraga. This occurred just right before the harvest was due to take place.

According to the grower and exporter Frances Pena, director of Olimpfruit (Seròs, Lleida) these affected areas represent around half of the production of Lleida. There are approximately 7500 hectares severely affected, between 60 and 100% in the areas of Alcarràs, Soses and Torres de Segre, the most affected. In the other areas the damages could be between 20 to 30%.

View: https://youtu.be/eatAEYuh454


View: https://youtu.be/sKijBqfhqcc


In total approximately 12000 ha was affected by the hail.
The most affected fruits are nectarines, flat peaches and peaches. This latest hail comes after the areas of Torres de Segre and Mollerusa were hit by hail last week which affected Stone fruit among other crops such as pears and apples.

This is the most important stone fruit area for the production in July and August and the forecast before the storm was already 20% lower yields compared to last year. "The market was already noticing the decrease in nectarines and flat peaches, which are seeing significantly higher prices this year. Due to the hail the sector expects a shortage during July and August. We have to take into account that Italy lost a big part of its production due to the frosts, as did France. This is a big disaster that will drastically change the Spanish as well as the European stone fruit season. We will play this game with different rules from this moment on," says the commercial director of an important company in Huesca.

FreshPlaza will have more information on the situation in the coming days.

Extreme hailstorm hits northern Greece in middle of June - leaves layer of hail up to 15 inches deep

Tasos Kokkinidis
Greek Reporter
Wed, 17 Jun 2020 12:59 UTC

1592416582384.png

An unseasonable hailstorm hit the region of Drama in northern Greece on Tuesday night, causing major disruption to the roadways there.

The hailstorm in the city of Drama was particularly severe. Such a dense layer of ice pellets accumulated there that in some places it was 30-40 (11-15 inches) cm thick, according to a report by AMNA.

Earth-moving excavators from the municipal authorities were used to clear the city's roads from the dense, thick blanket of hail.

View: https://youtu.be/2E3NXXK5Ppc


1592416642423.png
The storm, which lasted more than half an hour, and the heavy rains that followed, flooded many basements and ground floors of shops and homes, and there were many fallen trees in numerous localities.

City crews worked throughout the night in order to clear away the hail and debris from the severe weather system which hit Drama.

The mayor of the city of Drama, Christodoulos Mamsakos, spoke of the unprecedented weather phenomena. "The heavens opened, and we wondered if what we saw was true or not. So much hail, we haven't seen for many years."

"We couldn't believe our eyes," he added. "Within an hour all the roads were filled with ice and water. The hailstorm caused great damage."

The two sweet potatoes that I never put in the ground to grow slips for me have each just sprouted a little shoot. My lazy guilty conscience saw a tiny note on each sprout saying "Plant me. Plant me." So I guess this evening when it's cooler out, I'll take those sweet potatoes out and find a place to tuck them in the ground so they can make lots of slips for me. With the hot sun and plenty of water, they should really take off!

Hey, that's great! I still need to buy a LOT of bags of soil for our raised beds, we have 6 to get set up and fill for fall planting, and they are big. We're using Miracle Gro's Raised Bed soil, and the beans, potatoes, and tomatoes have just taken off. Watermelons are fast catching up. Every time I go by a Lowe's or HD I stop and get more. It's blessed hot here for the foreseeable future, and that means only doing outside chores in the 'cooler' evening.

Gosh, I'm about to the point that I want to plant anything I can. Between the greatly rising Covid cases here in Tx, the social unrest, supply chain issues for whatever, and the GSM, I'm getting very bad feelings about the food situation. I was even looking at Baker Creek Seeds thinking about another order. I think, though, that when I go for more dirt I'll just start grabbing more seed packs - just in case.

TxGal, I need a bunch more patio blocks and when I go to Lowe's to get them, I'll be picking up a couple more bags of Miracle-Gro each trip. Not sure why my small town feed store doesn't have it any more.

I need several bags of Miracle-Gro so I can finish improving the soil in my greenhouse containers. There are nine containers left to go in there. Plus, I might be planting things in a lot of my larger flower pots and nursery pots as well.

There is now a trailer full of lumber and polycarbonate roofing panels in my driveway!

More good news! Nephew has an account at one of the lumber yards and will order the patio blocks I need and it will be either low or non delivery charge right here to me. So I will not have to make three trips to town to get the blocks in my small elderly truck.
Also, he told me that big town was a shopping madhouse this afternoon and he had to do a lot of waiting to get out of his truck and be able to avoid people when he was picking up the materials at the three different places he went. Glad I can avoid that.

And he does seem interested in clearing my big back garden and possibly sharing the space. He's well aware of what's going on with the virus, the economy and the rioting. He's at about 98% believing we are already starting into a Great Depression. I told him I might be able to hire him enough to keep his lights on at home as long as I keep getting Social Security. He answered that he just ordered a new bigger inverter. (:

I wish he'd mow for me, but I think that's expecting a little too much right now.

Rain is moving into the Treasure Valley from north to south this morning as a low pressure system moves through the Gem State. Moisture will move out by noon for the valley with lingering mountain showers Wednesday afternoon.

Daytime temperatures have been cool all week with highs only in the 60's for Boise since Saturday. We remain cooler than normal this morning and will remain roughly 15 degrees cooler than average this afternoon, however, we'll be a little warmer than yesterday. Highs should reach the upper 60's and low 70's for the Treasure Valley.

When I see all the cold and snow still happening in so many places, I worry less about how late I'm getting my garden planted! Heck, I still might have to cover it against a sudden frost.

Wonder if this is the year we could all get a nice Fourth of July blizzard!

TxGal, thanks for posting so many great articles!
