Extreme Weather
Despite baseless mainstream protestations to the contrary, the Greenland Ice Sheet is not only not shrinking, but EXPANDING.
Healthy daily gains, as reported by the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI), have been commonplace in recent weeks, and as a result, 2022’s accumulated Surface Mass Balance (SMB) has nudged above all previous years (in DMI data extending back to 1981):
[DMI]
It goes without saying, the likes of the BBC, the Guardian, and CNN will refuse to report on Greenland’s turnaround.
This silence should open your eyes–if they’re not already–to the fact that it is obfuscation and lies that are propping up the ‘cLiMaTe EmErGeNcY’ narrative, not The Science.
Depressingly, however, the eco-zealots among us will continue to accept the MS yarn, which they likely feel gives their aimless, vanilla lives some meaning.
The climate is not in crisis, though — that I can assure you; and if these virtue-signalling zombies, marauding the streets, driving nails into gas station forecourts and parking their deluded arses in front of traffic on the instruction of their propagandizing telescreens, ever stopped for thirty seconds and discerned reality, Mother Nature would let them know that, too.
CO2, the building blocks of life, is not a pollutant.

But this ‘flip-flopping’, rather than evidence of an entirely fabricated ‘cLiMaTe CrIsEs’, instead serves as yet another example of the ‘swings between extremes’ dominate during times of low solar activity–such as the historically low activity we’re experiencing now.
Grand Solar Minimum and the Swing Between Extremes
Intense bursts of heat will linger in one area, while a teeth-chattering chill will dominate nearby — and then the regions will “switch”. It’s this chopping and changing that will hasten the failure of our modern food production systems — crops will fail, on a large scale, and famine will quickly ensue.
Following the West, it was the North’s turn to endure a blast Arctic air, with Nunavut in the cross hairs.
The remote Northern Canada region was walloped with a major winter storm on Friday, which brought howling 100+ km/h winds, significant early-season snow and blizzards to Southeastern areas, including Baffin Island and nearby marine regions.

The recent blizzard conditions in Canada are a stark reminder to the rest of the North American continent that winter weather is coming, whether or not people are ready for it, whether or not people still believe it’s possible.
In fact, the latest GFS run (shown below) is calling for as much as 20 feet of early-Nov snow settling in parts of BC over the next week-or-so, with heavy accumulations extending ‘down’ the Rockies and even into northern Texas, too, with a similarly impressive band stretching east over the Dakotas, Minnesota and northern Wisconsin, as well:
GFS Total Snowfall (inches) Oct 31 – Nov 16 [tropicaltidbits.com].
And eyeing further ahead, more anomalous polar cold looks set to engulf much of the CONUS early next week:
GFS 2m Temperature Anomalies (C) Nov 7 – Nov 9 [tropicaltidbits.com].
As reported by explorersweb.com, winter-like weather and lots of snow thwarted many climbing teams in September and October, both on 8,000m peaks and the more technical lower ones.
Tragedy overshadowed the season, too. An avalanche on Manaslu Mountain (video below) on Sept 26 swallowed at least nine people, killing one, with another skier dying while descending the summit that same day due to the treacherous conditions.
It comes after Russia accused Ukraine of a “massive” drone attack on the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, Crimea — an attack the Ukraine has not admitted to. Russia has also accused the UK of blowing up Nord Stream gas pipelines last month — a claim the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has called “false … of an epic scale”.
Russia’s defense ministry says drones used in Saturday’s attack targeted ships involved in the grain deal.
Hours later, a statement by the foreign ministry in Moscow said: “The Russian side cannot guarantee the safety of civilian dry cargo ships participating in the ‘Black Sea Initiative’, and suspends its implementation from today for an indefinite period.”
It said the move was “in connection with the actions of the Ukrainian armed forces, which were led by British specialists” and that these actions “were directed … against Russian ships that ensured the functioning of the said humanitarian corridor”.
President Zelensky, a proponent for nuclear war, and who the West have their children hero-worshiping and drawing pictures of at school, once again used the opportunity to demand a strong international response from both the UN and the world’s twenty largest economies–which I’m sure sounded like more music to the ears of the U.S. military–industrial complex.
The White House said Russia was “weaponizing food”, but the White House lost credibility moons ago.
There are no ‘good guys’ in all this; rather, there are powerful entities vying for more power during a transition to a new financial system; entities that I fear will stop at nothing to gain the upper hand.
The UN, equally untrustworthy, has said it is “vital that all parties refrain from any action that would imperil the Black Sea Grain Initiative”, which it said was a critical humanitarian effort providing access to food for millions of people around the world.
The initiative allowed Ukraine to resume its Black Sea grain exports, which had been blocked when Russia invaded the country. It was personally negotiated by the UN secretary general and celebrated as a major diplomatic victory that helped ease a global food crisis. The West doesn’t want freely-moving grains, however — it doesn’t want peace, either, hence its blowing up of the Nord Stream, hence its Saturday morning drone attack, and hence NATO’s poking of the Russian bear in the first place.
All four spots have stable magnetic fields and so are unlikely to explode. NOAA forecasters say there is a 5% chance of M-class flares and no more than 1% chance of X-flares on October 31 — so nothing scary.

Over the weekend, Russia announced it is suspending its involvement in the internationally-brokered deal that allows Ukraine to export grain from its Black Sea ports.It comes after Russia accused Ukraine of a “massive” drone attack on the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, Crimea — an attack the Ukraine has not admitted to.

Europe's Winter Could Be Colder Than Normal, Threatening Higher Gas Demand; U.K. Met Office, issuing one of the first closely followed seasons forecasts, sees slightly colder temperatures through January

LONDON—One of the first closely watched seasonal outlooks for what the European winter holds sees colder and drier weather than usual across the U.K. and Northern Europe, conditions that could add pressure on governments and companies managing the continent’s supply of natural gas.
The U.K. Meteorological Office on Monday said there was an increased likelihood of the next three months being colder than normal with average temperatures likely to sit between four and just-below six degrees Celsius, equivalent to between 39.2 and 42.8 degrees Fahrenheit, in the U.K., which is slightly below the average seen over the last five years. The forecasting agency added that it was also likely to be drier than normal, with lower chances of heavy rainfall between November and January.
No single forecast is definitive and so-called seasonal outlooks like the one provided by the U.K. come with caveats. They aren’t as precise as the one- to five-day forecasts that weather services can make with relative accuracy. Forecasters, including the Met Office, say the science around such long-range forecasting is still emerging.
Still, as an early look, “this all suggests that heating related gas demand will be up this winter,” said Caroline Bain, chief commodities economist at Capital Economics. “People are not going to switch off the heating if they are cold, and so we’re likely to get sustained heating-related demand.”
The Met Office’s forecast is specific to the U.K., but the 168-year-old agency’s predictions have implications for the continent as a whole, in part owing to its expertise in modeling the North Atlantic Oscillation, an important factor for predicting weather across Europe.
The update issued Monday also comes at a time of year when some of the weather trends that can make a difference in the severity of the winter start to settle down. That can make it easier to predict longer-term scenarios for the entire season.
Gas prices extended recent declines on Monday, driven lower by the large supplies of fuel that Europe has accumulated throughout the year. Benchmark wholesale prices for gas in the Netherlands fell 9% to about 127 euros, or $126, a megawatt-hour. U.K. prices fell 7% to 3.14 pounds, or $3.62, per therm.
Futures contracts suggest gas will become more expensive when temperatures fall over winter but that prices won’t regain the highs recorded in August. One reason is that recent warm weather has delayed the date at which Europe dips into its storage, so will be more gas to heat homes if a late cold snap strikes.
The Met Office’s outlook, along with a handful of others expected this month, are being more closely followed than usual this year. In the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Europe has tried to pivot away from its reliance on Russian gas. Moscow, meanwhile, has largely turned off the tap, in retaliation for Western sanctions.
That has set off a scramble in recent months by governments and utilities to take gas from other sources and encourage residents and businesses to conserve the fuel. Companies across the continent have shut down production amid super high prices and calls to save gas. European countries have also rushed to buy shipped gas, called liquefied natural gas, from places such as the U.S. and Qatar.
All those moves have swollen European gas-storage facilities. More gas waiting on LNG tankers idling off the coast. Gas prices have fallen sharply since the summer amid the glut.
Whether the stored gas will be sufficient to get Europe through the winter depends on how cold and windy the season is. Governments are hoping for a mild, wet winter, which can also bring higher wind. That could help boost wind-power generation.
Natural-gas prices have been falling in recent weeks on lower demand, with European stores of gas rising to roughly 94% of total capacity. That is thanks in part to the very mild temperatures seen across the continent during the fall.
Ms. Bain said that European gas markets have seen significant demand reduction from industry, with output of metals, fertilizers and other key sectors all being slashed to help stem the issues coming from gas cuts from Russia, easing prices.
However, a lack of wind and rainfall is likely to push gas demand and prices higher—on top of the colder conditions—given renewable energy sources may not be as readily available, according to analysts.
Capital Economics is currently forecasting European benchmark prices to hit €150 a MWh by the end of the year. This remains well below the highs seen this year when prices reached €349.90 a MWh in late August.

The mercury dropped to 19.6C (67.3F) in Kolkata on Saturday, making it the city’s coldest October reading in decades.
For reference, and according to the country’s Meteorological Department, the previous coldest October temperature observed in Kolkata was the 19.9C (67.8F) from 2019; while the all-time record remains safe — the 17.2C (63F) from 1954 (solar minimum of cycle 18).
Cold wave conditions have persisted in the state of Bhubaneswar, too, sending temperatures crashing below 15C (59F) in many locales on Monday, including Odisha, Kirei, G.Udayagiri, Phulbani, Daringbadi, Sonepur, and Bhawanipatna; while the lowest reading was registered in Semiliguda, which logged a new record low of 11.4C (52.5F).
As forecast, a powerful Antarctic outbreak has engulfed practically ALL of the Aussie continent this week. The higher reaches of Victoria, NSW and Tasmania are even bracing for snow as they shiver through one of the chilliest openings to November on record.
According to Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology (BoM), Tuesday is delivering one of the coldest Melbourne Cup days ever witnessed, too. A reading of just 9.5C (49.1F) was registered at 12:30pm in Flemington on Tuesday –which would have felt like 2.5C (36.5F)– as a strong, out-of-season polar front brings wintry weather back to Melbourne.
It is comfortably on course to be the coldest race day since at least 1995 when Flemington reached just 13.6C (56.5F).
The strength of this front is highly unusual, particularly for November, admitted BoM forecaster Dean Narramore.
“[It] goes to show Victoria can have winter weather any time of the year,” the forecaster said–which is a bit rich given the fact that his agency has been prophesying that ‘winter weather will become a thing of the past in winter’, let alone in mid-spring.
The higher parts of the state, such as Trentham, Mount Macedon and the Yarra Ranges faced the real possibility of snow, added ‘explain-away’ Narramore: “It’s unusual, but it’s not unheard of to have snow in November,” he said; “It’s not common, but we had some snow last November.”–So it is perhaps becoming more common, then? Why is it so hard for these folk to think and speak outside of The Narrative.

“Politicians and governments around the world are bracing for potential civil unrest as many countries grapple with mounting energy costs and rising inflation”, reads a paraphrased line doing the MSM rounds today.
A war in Europe, lower output of oil, gas and food, as well as high inflation, are slowly-but-surely bringing the global economy to its knees. Concerns are centered on the coming winter, especially for Europe, with cold season, combined with the aforementioned shortages, set to upend lives and businesses with rationing and blackouts.
But while this winter looks bad, it’s the winter of 2023-24 that people should be really worried about, according to a new, synchronized warning from major oil and gas executives.
“We’ve got a difficult winter ahead, and subsequent to that we’ve got a more difficult winter in the year ahead of that, because the production that is available to Europe in the first half of 2023 is considerably less than the production we had available to us in the first half of 2022,” said Russell Hardy, CEO of major oil trader Vitol.
BP CEO Bernard Looney, agrees: Energy prices “are approaching unaffordability,” with some people already “spending 50% of their disposable income on energy or higher,” he said. Provided its not a brutally cold Dec-Feb, Looney thinks “it has been addressed for this winter. It’s the next winter I think many of us worry, in Europe, could be even more challenging.”
The CEO of Italian oil and gas giant Eni expressed the same worry expressed the exact same concerns, adding that next winter is the headache “because we are not going to have Russian gas – 98% [less] next year, maybe nothing.”
The criminal levels of profit these energy companies are managing to generate during a supposed energy crunch is another hot topic. Obviously, the energy is there — Europe has managed to fill its boots, to 90% capacity. The energy is there, at least this year; could it be that the likes of BP are enjoying one last pay day before the spigots are turned off for good next winter? I don’t know.
Somewhat laughably, energy company CEOs are blaming governments for poor energy investment; more specifically, that investment in reliable fossil fuels has taken a hit in recent years as countries push for the transition to renewables.
BP’s Looney stressed the need to “invest in hydrocarbons today, because today’s energy system is a hydrocarbon system.”
The energy companies are of course playing their own games here, let’s not be naive. It was BP that coined the term ‘Carbon Footprint’ as a way to pass the buck to the consumer’s consumption, rather than the energy company’s production.
The UN and its grubby little offshoot, the IPCC, are still blindly decrying the use of fossil fuels, warning, as they do, that a far bigger crisis looms if people’s access to cheap and reliable oil, coal and gas isn’t immediately curtailed. In June, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called for abandoning fossil fuel finance, and called any new funding for exploration “delusional.”
What is delusional, Guterres, is trying to heat hundreds of millions of homes in the dead of winter with wind and solar, and what is criminal is forcibly switching everyday folk over to these failing technologies through decades-now of under-investment.
I’ve been warning about this very disaster for years, which, like inflation, really wasn’t that hard to see coming; nor is it tricky to see where it’s steering us, either — the MSM and energy CEOs are telling us themselves:
As reported by cnbc.com, “serious social unrest” is on the cards in the near future.
In fact, “small to medium-sized protests” are already cropping up around Europe. Anti-government protests in Germany and Austria in September and in the Czech Republic last week –the latter of which has seen household energy bills surge tenfold– may be a small taste of what’s to come, continues cnbc.com article.
Are they priming us to get mad?
Do they expect/want us marauding the streets hurling trash cans through shop windows?
Any “serious social unrest” will surely be met with more ‘interventions’–let’s call them; more restrictive measures, more lockdowns, and more state power grabs. Again, I don’t know, but a ‘break’ is coming, a collapse, THE collapse, that I’m sure of — they need a Great Depression in order to have to their Great Reset.
And given this latest ‘messaging’, perhaps it stands that we have one more year to make hay and prepare. This would also allow for that final parabolic pump in the stock markets that I’m betting on. Let’s say the Fed pivot on interest rates, there’s an easing of tensions between the Ukraine and Russia, and the EU’s gas reserves see the block scrape through this upcoming winter. These three scenarios would send risk-on assets to the moon and would provide a moment of hope and euphoria before the Mother Of All Crashes (in early-2024) catches retail investors unaware –as it always does– proceeds to cripple them, and then, ultimately, leads to the ushering in of the new financial system, with its CBDCs, Digital IDs and Social Credit Scores in tow — and by that time, things will be so bleak that nobody will have the capital or wherewithal to resist.

November 1, 2022 Cap AllonRecord Chills Sweep India, Including Kolkata
A strong cold wave is currently gripping much of India as north-western winds blow in.The mercury dropped to 19.6C (67.3F) in Kolkata on Saturday, making it the city’s coldest October reading in decades.
For reference, and according to the country’s Meteorological Department, the previous coldest October temperature observed in Kolkata was the 19.9C (67.8F) from 2019; while the all-time record remains safe — the 17.2C (63F) from 1954 (solar minimum of cycle 18).
Cold wave conditions have persisted in the state of Bhubaneswar, too, sending temperatures crashing below 15C (59F) in many locales on Monday, including Odisha, Kirei, G.Udayagiri, Phulbani, Daringbadi, Sonepur, and Bhawanipatna; while the lowest reading was registered in Semiliguda, which logged a new record low of 11.4C (52.5F).
Coldest Melbourne Cup In 3-Decades As Antarctic Outbreak Grips Australia
As forecast, a powerful Antarctic outbreak has engulfed practically ALL of the Aussie continent this week. The higher reaches of Victoria, NSW and Tasmania are even bracing for snow as they shiver through one of the chilliest openings to November on record.According to Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology (BoM), Tuesday is delivering one of the coldest Melbourne Cup days ever witnessed, too. A reading of just 9.5C (49.1F) was registered at 12:30pm in Flemington on Tuesday –which would have felt like 2.5C (36.5F)– as a strong, out-of-season polar front brings wintry weather back to Melbourne.
It is comfortably on course to be the coldest race day since at least 1995 when Flemington reached just 13.6C (56.5F).
The strength of this front is highly unusual, particularly for November, admitted BoM forecaster Dean Narramore.
“[It] goes to show Victoria can have winter weather any time of the year,” the forecaster said–which is a bit rich given the fact that his agency has been prophesying that ‘winter weather will become a thing of the past in winter’, let alone in mid-spring.
The higher parts of the state, such as Trentham, Mount Macedon and the Yarra Ranges faced the real possibility of snow, added ‘explain-away’ Narramore: “It’s unusual, but it’s not unheard of to have snow in November,” he said; “It’s not common, but we had some snow last November.”–So it is perhaps becoming more common, then? Why is it so hard for these folk to think and speak outside of The Narrative.

Global Energy Crisis Will ‘Really’ Hit Next Winter, Warn Oil CEOs
“Politicians and governments around the world are bracing for potential civil unrest as many countries grapple with mounting energy costs and rising inflation”, reads a paraphrased line doing the MSM rounds today.A war in Europe, lower output of oil, gas and food, as well as high inflation, are slowly-but-surely bringing the global economy to its knees. Concerns are centered on the coming winter, especially for Europe, with cold season, combined with the aforementioned shortages, set to upend lives and businesses with rationing and blackouts.
But while this winter looks bad, it’s the winter of 2023-24 that people should be really worried about, according to a new, synchronized warning from major oil and gas executives.
“We’ve got a difficult winter ahead, and subsequent to that we’ve got a more difficult winter in the year ahead of that, because the production that is available to Europe in the first half of 2023 is considerably less than the production we had available to us in the first half of 2022,” said Russell Hardy, CEO of major oil trader Vitol.
BP CEO Bernard Looney, agrees: Energy prices “are approaching unaffordability,” with some people already “spending 50% of their disposable income on energy or higher,” he said. Provided its not a brutally cold Dec-Feb, Looney thinks “it has been addressed for this winter. It’s the next winter I think many of us worry, in Europe, could be even more challenging.”
The CEO of Italian oil and gas giant Eni expressed the same worry expressed the exact same concerns, adding that next winter is the headache “because we are not going to have Russian gas – 98% [less] next year, maybe nothing.”
The criminal levels of profit these energy companies are managing to generate during a supposed energy crunch is another hot topic. Obviously, the energy is there — Europe has managed to fill its boots, to 90% capacity. The energy is there, at least this year; could it be that the likes of BP are enjoying one last pay day before the spigots are turned off for good next winter? I don’t know.
Somewhat laughably, energy company CEOs are blaming governments for poor energy investment; more specifically, that investment in reliable fossil fuels has taken a hit in recent years as countries push for the transition to renewables.
BP’s Looney stressed the need to “invest in hydrocarbons today, because today’s energy system is a hydrocarbon system.”
The energy companies are of course playing their own games here, let’s not be naive. It was BP that coined the term ‘Carbon Footprint’ as a way to pass the buck to the consumer’s consumption, rather than the energy company’s production.
The UN and its grubby little offshoot, the IPCC, are still blindly decrying the use of fossil fuels, warning, as they do, that a far bigger crisis looms if people’s access to cheap and reliable oil, coal and gas isn’t immediately curtailed. In June, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called for abandoning fossil fuel finance, and called any new funding for exploration “delusional.”
What is delusional, Guterres, is trying to heat hundreds of millions of homes in the dead of winter with wind and solar, and what is criminal is forcibly switching everyday folk over to these failing technologies through decades-now of under-investment.
I’ve been warning about this very disaster for years, which, like inflation, really wasn’t that hard to see coming; nor is it tricky to see where it’s steering us, either — the MSM and energy CEOs are telling us themselves:
As reported by cnbc.com, “serious social unrest” is on the cards in the near future.
In fact, “small to medium-sized protests” are already cropping up around Europe. Anti-government protests in Germany and Austria in September and in the Czech Republic last week –the latter of which has seen household energy bills surge tenfold– may be a small taste of what’s to come, continues cnbc.com article.

A couple years ago, I made this kind of blanket for each person in my family. My knees were destroyed from crawling around on the tile floor. I found that you have to cut a square out of each corner, then cut the fringe all around the edges.

Walrus Whisperer, it's easy to tie or pin something thick around your knees for padding if you need to crawl around on the floor. I'd imagine you could even tape something in place if you had to.
Hey! What about those great big large-wound bandages?! If they aren't too expensive, that is?
Hey! What about those great big large-wound bandages?! If they aren't too expensive, that is?
A couple of pieces of soft foam, over-rated with a couple rounds of vet wrap will do in a pinch. But a decent pair of knee pads from Home Depot or wherever aren't too expensive. I've done the "crawl around on the floor" pinning and basting king sized quilts too many times... always wanted the big ping-pong table my mom used for sewing!

Before my house turned into a warehouse, I used to use my bare floors of 12" tiles to lay out any king of large pad or blanket and was able to get them nice and square. With fleece, I could lay an extra long upholsterer's ruler down to put in safety pins where all the ties needed to go.
This doesn't work very well if you have cats or puppies.

Alex Newman, of the New American, interviewed Dr. Willie Soon after his most recent Camp Constitution talk.
Below are some of the highlights of their discussion:
He has done this by first studying how the sun behaved over the last 400 years, and then by extrapolating this cyclic behavior out a century-or-so into the future.
“We are already in a very weak activity state,” said Dr. Soon, “weaker than the active state of the 1980s/90s.”
This reduced spell of activity we’re in now started in 2008 and is expected to last until 2050, continues Dr. Soon.
The next 3 decades will be a “a very interesting time to be living, because we have another 30-years of the possibility of cooling.”
Soon hopes the IPCC will be honest and won’t be tempted to manipulate their data–as Soon has personally caught and demonstrated them doing in the past.
The IPCC charts show only linear warming, explains Soon, whereas the raw thermometer data reveals a clear ebb and flow of cooling and warming in a cyclical fashion.
“This shows you that they manipulated the data,” says Dr. Soon.
“Ultimately it’s about the truth, it’s not about whether my predictions comes true or not.”
We have to keep a close eye on the thermometer data used by the IPCC, stresses Soon, but also the data from the sun.
“It will be a very interesting thing for the IPCC to confront.”
Dr. Soon is a firm believer that the demonizing of CO2 is all hype — a scare tactic.
He says sunlight is the key factor when it comes to Earth’s climate, and that’s why he studies it, intensely.
“This infrared radiation (CO2 infrared) is purely a reaction of the system to achieve energy balance. When there is a imbalance within the system, the system tries to look for some equilibrium.
“Infrared is just a reaction.
“This is why we say the entire climate system is powered (99+%) by the sun’s energy.”
Rising sea level is another folly.
“If you really study this carefully, sea level has risen by about 4 inches over the past 100 years,” says Soon.
“And these people are saying it’s going to rise by 300-400 inches — that’s what they’re proposing as a way to scare people.”
Dr. Soon admits he struggles with the purpose of all these lies.
Fear & control is my humble assumption. They could also be one cog in “the Great Reset” machinery.
“We’ll have a lot more problems if the planet were to cool than were it to warm,” he says.
It’s easier to cool ourselves in times of warmth, explains Dr. Soon –Bill Gates’ atmospheric chalk dust experiment being one rather dangerous option– but the energy simply isn’t there to heat ourselves if it were to get cold, at least not on a global scale.
The sun is our source of energy, and if this energy level drops then it will be nigh-on impossible for us human’s to replicate it.
An ice age, even a little one –such as the Maunder Minimum (1645-1715– produces problems that are much harder to solve than those posed by a warming climate, explains Soon.
Throughout ecological time, life and biodiversity has thrived during times of warmth, and has struggled during prolonged bouts of cooling.
For us humans, Soon sees the only solution as being nuclear energy.
We better start building the nuclear plants now, implies Soon, before the materials required are covered in ice.
“In that sense there is a race. Humanity is always in a race of some kind.”
But for some inexplicable reason, nuclear isn’t an option within climate alarmist circles — this is an illogical stance that again nods to an agenda being at play here, and not to an honest force in search of a fix to a genuine real-world issue.
Nuclear has the potential to ‘solve’ both AGW as well as stave off many of the issues associated with a Little Ice Age.
Yet it is discarded.
The ruse is clearer than ever.
And finally, in a direct message to the propagandized among us, Dr. Soon has this to say: “If you want to face a serious problem, worry about an ice age, never worry about global warming.”
Camp Constitution is an all volunteer association of Americanists.
It held its 13th Annual Family Camp from July 18-23, 2021 at the Singing Hills Christian Camp in Plainfield, NH.
Dr. Willie Soon was one of the guest speakers.
According to the association’s website, it runs a week-long family camp, has manned information tables at various venues, a book publishing arm, and posts videos from the camp that they feel are of importance to the general public.

New Paper uses AI to Predict the Sunspot Cycles: Low Solar Activity until 2050
“Our predictions show that the sunspot cycles will be in a weak state starting from Cycle 24 (2008-2019) till Cycle 27 (or 2050 or so).”
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 (among many other forcings, including the impending release of the Beaufort Gyre).

A Cooling Planet poses far more problems than a Warming one

‘The impact of global warming on individual weather patterns is at the very limit of science’ — this is the mainstream position.
“It’s kind of like having a jigsaw but most of the pieces are missing,” said Dr Andrew King from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes at The University of Melbourne.
“We have really incomplete observations in many parts of the world and they don’t go back long enough in time to really track the climate for long enough.”
That missing data –often from remote places like the Arctic– is needed to build computer models of unprecedented detail that can better predict weather patterns, said Dr. King.
“We really need high-resolution simulations … But we just don’t have enough data to really make conclusive statements.”
There are belts of high-altitude wind that encircle the globe, called the jet stream, and weather systems often follow these tracks, explained Dr King — these winds are related to temperature differences between the cold polar regions and the warm tropics.
If the world is indeed warming, as is the alarmist claim, and if the warming is indeed more pronounced over the higher latitudes versus the equator, as is detailed in the “Polar Amplification” theory, then that reduced temperature difference between the poles and the lower latitudes should “reduce the strength of the jet stream … and you might make it wavier or slower,” said Dr King.
A slower, wavier jet stream may allow storms to stick around longer, leading to more extreme weather; but there is no conclusive evidence that the jet stream is slowing due to anthropogenic global warming.
“There are a variety of studies looking into this, some of which find evidence to suggest this is happening –particularly from the model-based studies– [and] others which suggest this isn’t happening,” Dr King said.
One recent study used detailed computer modelling to show how a warmer world would lead not only to more intense rain in Europe but also to slower storm movement; however, its lead author –Abdullah Kahraman, from Newcastle University in the UK– was at pains to qualify the limits of the study, saying it related to one very detailed computer simulation.
“This study does not really tell you that this will definitely be happening like that, because this is one scenario,” Dr Kahraman reluctantly admitted, illustrating the issue with climate models: the majority are pure fantasy.
…but there isn’t anything like the ‘consensus’ the MSM would have you believe.
“It’s basically an area of very active research, there are quite a few people around the world looking into this. And there is a diversity of views among scientists,” Dr King said.
“At the very least, I think we can say that we don’t have a great deal of confidence that this is a clear effect of climate change.
“But there is some indication that there might be more persistence of weather systems, as the jet stream may be allowing them to remain in place for longer.
“This could be contributing to some extreme weather events,” Dr King concluded.
When solar activity is HIGH, the jet stream is tight and stable and follows somewhat of a straight path. But when solar activity is LOW, that meandering band of air flowing 6 miles above our heads becomes weak and wavy, it effectively buckles which diverts frigid Polar air to atypically low latitudes and replaces it with warmer tropical air.
Scientifically, the jet stream reverts from a Zonal Flow to a Meridional Flow, and, depending on which side of the jet stream you’re on, you’re either in for a spell of unseasonably cold or hot weather and/or a period of unusually dry or wet conditions.

The AGW hypothesis can confidently explain Central Europe’s heatwave; but it fails when it comes to Western Europe’s simultaneous summer freeze. A new theory is needed: ‘low solar activity’.
Activity on the sun has been historically low in recent years.
The solar cycle just gone (SC24) turned out to be the weakest of the past 100+ years:
And cycle 25 is playing out very similarly, with updated predictions seeing it leveling off and peaking sooner than originally forecast:
Solar Cycle 25 progression (green line) compared to 24, 23, 22 & 21 [updated Oct 18, 2022 — solen.info]
Reduced solar output –and reduced solar output alone— is THE forcing behind the climatic changes we’re currently witnessing; changes that range from increasing polar outbreaks, heatwaves, an influx of cloud-nucleating cosmic rays, as well as an uptick in ‘sun-shading’ volcanic eruptions. Increasing carbon dioxide emissions have very little –if nothing– to do with the climate.
Both polar outbreaks AND intense bursts of heat are becoming more common as the aforementioned ‘meridional’ jet stream flow works to throw our weather patterns for a loop; this flow can cause the systems to become ‘locked’ in place, too, and for prolonged periods of time — i.e. ‘blocking’.
Overall however –and make no mistake about it– the Grand Solar Minimum is forecast to continue its deepening over the coming years/decades, which will result in global temperatures continuing their downward trend–observed since 2016.

No Scientific Consensus On A Warming Arctic And Extreme Weather
November 3, 2022 Cap Allon‘The impact of global warming on individual weather patterns is at the very limit of science’ — this is the mainstream position.

Studying the jet stream has long been an indicator of the weather to come, and to study the jet stream attention must turn to the sun.When solar activity is HIGH, the jet stream is tight and stable and follows somewhat of a straight path.

TxGal We're supposed to get about an inch and a half of rain overnight tomorrow night and possibly into Saturday AM. But I haven't really seen any really rough weather in our forecast. Lately they call even little rumble a thunderstorm, so who knows until it actually gets here.
Glad of the rain. Hope it doesn't get too wild down your way!

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ‘correct’ data they don’t like, and ‘fail to archive the evidence’ — they are frauds in the eyes of many.
Former top NOAA scientist, Dr. John Bates, led the agency’s climate data records program for ten years.
Since his time at the agency, however, Bates has spoken of data tampering and serious malfeasance; specifically, he accuses NOAA of publishing a flawed report which supposedly disproved the pause observed in global warming between 1998 to 2012.
Bates charges that study’s lead author, NOAA official Tom Karl, with using unverified data sets, ignoring mandatory agency procedures, and failing to archive evidence, all in a “blatant attempt to intensify the impact” of the paper in advance of a crucial UN Climate Change Conference back in 2015.
The paper, “Possible Artifacts of Data Biases in the Recent Global Surface Warming Hiatus,” was published in Science magazine in the June of 2015, just a few months before world leaders gathered in Paris to hammer out a costly global pact on climate-change mitigation.
The study claimed that the ‘pause’ or ‘slowdown’ in global warming in the period since 1998, as revealed by UN scientists in 2013, never actually existed, and that world temperatures had instead been rising even faster than scientists expected.
Launched by NOAA with a public relations fanfare, the paper’s findings were splashed across the world’s media, and cited repeatedly by politicians and policy makers.
That widely observed pause in global warming simply wasn’t to be accepted by the AGW Party, and, in turn, NOAA’s climate data office was tasked with challenging the IPCC findings and prove that the hiatus did not exist. That was their aim, by hook or by crook, disappear that pesky pause, and do it in time for that crucial climate meeting in Paris.
Journalist Julie Kelly writes in her nationalreview.com article dated Feb, 7, 2017: The Climate activists were sweating over the acknowledgement by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2013 that “the rate of warming over the past 15 years is smaller than the rate calculated since 1951.” The IPCC walked back its own predictions from 2007 that short-term temperatures would rise between 1 and 3 degrees Celsius. The IPCC in 2013 “concluded that the global surface temperature” has shown a much smaller increasing linear trend over the past 15 years [1998 to 2012] than over the past 30 to 60 years” and the rise in global temperatures was “estimated to be around one-third to one-half of the trend over 1951–2012.”
It didn’t take NOAA’s Tom Karl very long at all to ‘develop’ a way to artificially raise sea-temperatures. Karl did this by discarding readings collected by buoys, which are more accurate, and replaced them with the temperature readings collected by ships, which are found to be warmer.
“In regards to sea surface temperature, scientists have shown that across the board, data collected from buoys are cooler than ship-based data,” said one of the study’s co-authors. It was therefore necessary, the NOAA scientists argued, to “correct the difference between ship and buoy measurements, and we are using this in our trend analysis.”
The ‘unstable’ land readings: Scientists at NOAA used land temp data from 4,000 weather stations (pictured above is one in Montana). However, the software they used to process the figures was found to be bug-ridden and unstable. NOAA also used ‘unverified’ data that was not tested or approved. This data was merged with aforementioned unreliable sea surface temps.
The ‘adjusted’ sea readings: Average sea surface temperatures are calculated using data from weather buoys. But NOAA ‘adjusted’ these figures upwards to fit with data taken from ships – which is warmer. This exaggerated the warming rate, allowing NOAA to claim in the paper dubbed the ‘Pausebuster’ that there was in fact no ‘pause’.
And lo-and-behold, this highly dubious methodology concluded that the warming trend for 2000 to 2014 was exactly the same as it was for 1950 to 1999.
“There is no discernible (statistical or otherwise) decrease in the rate of warming between the second half of the 20th century and the first 15 years of the 21st century,” claimed the study, which concluded that the IPCC’s statement about a slower rise in global temperature “is no longer valid.”
Mission accomplished, NOAA.
The study was applauded by climate activists and their media sympathizers, but Bates felt compelled to call out the study’s major, and to him glaring, problems.
“They had good data from buoys,” he said. “And they threw it out and ‘corrected’ it by using the bad data from ships [a natural warming source]. You never change good data to agree with the bad, but that’s what they did so as to make it look as if the sea was warmer.”
Bates also pointed to the study completely ignoring satellite data, which also generally runs cooler. And as if things couldn’t sound any more shady, the computer used to process the data “suffered a complete failure,” meaning that none of the data had been archived or made available as required by NOAA rules. Therefore, Karl’s paper can’t be replicated or independently verified.
Bates concluded by saying that government scientists routinely fail to save their work.
“The most critical issue in archival of climate data is actually scientists who are unwilling to formally archive and document their data.”
THIS is the state of modern climate science.
THIS is what the alarmists are insistent is ‘settled’, is unquestionably going to lead to our species demise, and so requires suicidal slashings of cheap and reliable fossil fuel usage and the introduction of crippling carbon taxes to combat.
THIS is insanity, particularly given that the opposite climatic reality is likely fast-approaching:

Hopefully it will stay calm as it passes through your area.
Down here, there's something thinking that early storms may cut the severity of the big line pushing through. Fingers crossed! This is kind of weird for Fall, more like Spring weather. I already have the bathroom set up in case we need to hunker down. Truly hate the night storms!

TxGal, my nephew was monitoring the weather from his shelter and kept me informed, and then let me know when it looked like the rough stuff was pretty well over. Thank goodness! I've been up since five this morning and I don't think I'll be able to stay awake much longer.
Looks like the bad stuff started fizzling out while it was still south of us. But It sounded like we got an awful lot of rain and it's still coming down pretty hard.
When I moved to Arkansas not having a basement was the biggest adjustment I had to make. When friends from up north would ask me where I go during a tornado, I just told them, "On my knees!" Actually, I just shelter in the central hall, since theres no way I'm going to ride out a tornado in a bathroom that contains a fiberglass tub/shower unit. The worst experience using the hall, there were four adults, two cats, and one very ill-behaved dachshund crammed in there with lots of pillows and blankets. We ended up shutting that rotten little dog into the bathroom.!
Nearly ten-thirty now...rain seems to be slowing down.
Sleep tight, everyone!

Maybe check into one of the storm shelters you can bolt down in the garage or even outside. I have no basement either and broke down and got a shelter for the garage. It looks like a big gray tin can but solves the problem. It’s terrifying when you have kids and pets to protect.

I watched a very recent Clif high interview (Don’t recall the title of anything) and he disputed the idea of mini novas, particularly as described by Ben Davis and Douglas Vogt, but I don’t think I finished listening. He said that there are catastrophes but that they are mis-interpreting the evidence ...for however he believes they happen, I know that he is sticking with his “expanding Earth” theory.

The market is focused “on the arrival of widespread below-average temperatures across the U.S. around mid-November that will increase demand for gas as heating fuel,” analysts at energy consulting firm Gelber & Associates said in a note.

The period of Nov 11 through Nov 19 looks particularly harsh for the majority of the CONUS, with temperature departures set to plunge as much as 28C below the average for the time of year:

The accompanying snowfall looks equally impressive:
GFS Total Snowfall (inches) Nov 7 – Nov 23 [tropicaltidbits.com].
In what was an extremely volatile week of trading, front-month gas futures NGc1 climbed 7.1% last Friday, the highest close since Oct. 14. That followed a rise of 12% on Monday, a drop of 10% on Tuesday, a rise of 10% on Wednesday, and a drop of 5% on Thursday. For the week, the contract was up 13%, after gaining 15% last week.
Overall, U.S. gas futures are up some 72% so far this year as higher global prices –linked in no small part to a suicidal over-reliance on failing renewables and a chronic under-investment in fossil fuels– feed demand for U.S. exports.
Being the world’s top producer, prices in the United States are holding up okay, at least compared to global prices–particularly those in Europe where governments and households alike (so that’s families) are rationing their energy usage.
Make no mistake about it, though, our ‘betters’ aren’t this stupid.
This global energy crisis, combined with a looming food crisis (as bans on farming and fertilizers snowball), will inevitably kill hundreds of millions of people, and, most distressingly, this murderous consequence is intentional, manufactured, planned.
The energy is there, however; so is the food, but as economist Amartya Sen describes: “Starvation is the characteristic of some people not getting enough food to eat. It is not the characteristic of there no being enough food to eat.” And we’re seeing this today via the Black Sea disruptions in the Ukraine; that is, the grain is there but it simply isn’t being distributed.
Moreover, the eco-fascists of the world are actually egging this destruction on. These duped ‘do-gooders’, those puppets gluing themselves to roads etc. are, in reality, doing the work of evil yet have been convinced that they are God’s gift to the planet.
The masters on high, however, those issuing the orders to the gullible puppets below (the WEF, UN and IPCC et al) do not ‘love for the planet’–despite their public protestations; rather, a hatred for humanity rules, and they, through their Global Warming and COVID ruses –to name but two– are working to stamp us proles to the status of slaves whereby they can fully own and control us, digitally.
But they haven’t won yet, I might add. There is a war ongoing. And to those who somehow remain blinded to the elite’s intent here, I ask that you quietly step aside and let those who do perceive the incoming draconian horrors battle it out on your behalf.
Part of the Great Reset is, of course, a Great Depression. And one leading hedge-fund firm, Elliott Management Corp., contends that the world is hurtling toward the worst financial crisis since World War II.
In a letter sent to investors, and reportedly seen by the Financial Times, the Florida-headquartered firm told clients that it believes the global economy is in an “extremely challenging” situation that could lead to hyperinflation.
The firm, led by billionaire Paul Singer and Jonathan Pollock, warned clients that they should not assume they have seen everything simply because they have been through the peaks and troughs of the 1987 crash, the dot-com boom and bust, the 2008 global financial crisis, and previous bear and bull markets. The extraordinary period of cheap money is coming to an end and has “made possible a set of outcomes that would be at or beyond the boundaries of the entire post-WWII period.”
The idea that “we will not panic because we have seen this before does not comport with the current facts.”
The letter added that the world is “on the path to hyperinflation,” which could lead to “global societal collapse and civil or international strife.” With Elliott reportedly arguing that markets have not fallen enough yet and that an equity-markets decline of more than 50% would be “normal,” adding that it could not predict when that would happen.
The executives are keen to blame central-bank policy makers for the current global economic situation, saying they had been “dishonest” about the reasons for high inflation. They said lawmakers had shirked responsibility by blaming it on supply-chain disruption caused by the pandemic instead of citing the loose monetary policy imposed two years ago during the COVID-19 peak.
To add my own two-cents here, yes, absolutely, hyperinflation is a genuine threat to society and could-well prove the catastrophic catalyst that ushers in the new financial system (of CBDCs–perhaps backed by gold and running on the XRP Ledger). However, I do still see a parabolic pump across the equity-markets, including crypto (at least the alt-market), first, extending through 2023.
My bets are placed accordingly, but these are dangerous, highly-volatile times and shirts will be lost.

Plows were busy earlier than usual as Snoqualmie Pass busts its early-season snowfall record.
Wintry conditions have also led to hazards on the road.

Alberta Clipper Hits Saskatchewan
A weekend snowstorm caused chaos in Central Saskatchewan, affecting businesses, sporting events and city streets.
According to online weather reports, North Battleford saw white-out like conditions where visibility was “next to zero with 12-16 centimeters of snow and winds gusting up to 65 kilometers per hour.”
Elsewhere, La Ronge saw 19cm; the west-central part of the province logged 20cm; Melfort received 25cm; but the cherry was taken by Tisdale where the wind and snow left locales like Doug Tkachuk digging out eight-feet high snow drifts.
Doug’s wife, Val said he has been working non-stop clearing snow since Saturday afternoon: “There was probably two feet of snow on top of his vehicle,” she said. “He went out a couple of times last night and when he came back in, he said, ‘I’m going to wait til morning and I’ll go out again’ and when we woke up this morning we couldn’t believe it. The snow was up to my waist.”
‘Snowfall is on the decline’, is what those murderous, unelected psychopaths at COP27 would have us believe. UN Secretary General António Guterres, in his speech, warned that the world is “on a highway to climate hell”. This rhetoric isn’t backed by science, of course, but it will still be used to browbeat global policy makers into ushering in more anti-human measures.
Brace for a deepening energy crisis, a worsening food crisis, climate lockdowns and for the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of millions of people. They are breeding deception, turmoil, devastation, & tribulation: The End Times; they are eradicating prosperity at the onset of the next solar-driven global cooling cycle.
And while the absurdity persists in Egypt, Gateway Towing in Prince Albert has had its crew working around the clock to free snow-stranded residents: “To put it in one word, it’s overwhelming,” said Danny Goodwin of Gateway Towing. “Last winter, we had a couple of days where it was like this but not this early in the season. The phones won’t stop ringing, you’re lucky if you get a five-minute break from pulling people out. I finally shut down at 1AM. last night and I was [back out] by 6:20AM, and from that short four and a half hour sleep I had, we had 47 calls for service.”
Heavy snowfall will continue to be the story across the province this week, after sizable accumulations settled over the weekend.
Repair crews have made progress restoring electricity to the hundreds of thousands of British Columbia homes that were blacked out during wintry weekend storms, but Environment Canada says snow and wind remain concerning factors.
A stacked low off the Washington coast is delivering more accumulating snow to B.C. as I type, closing schools and businesses.
Snow piled up across the southern Interior and Okanagan overnight Monday and into the early hours of Tuesday morning. Additional rounds are also falling across southern portions of Vancouver Island, including along the Malahat and into the Greater Victoria area.
But it’s not just the snow that is of concern for Western Canada — a classic ‘Arctic outflow setup’ is allowing extremely cold air to spill south and hold southern Interior, north and central coasts, and eastern Vancouver Island areas –among many others– well below the seasonal average, according to theweathernetwork.com.
Network meteorologist Jaclyn Whittal has described the conditions as “January-like” with “a whole lot of snow even at the valley floor elevations” which is when you know that “winter means business.”
The trough responsible for the plunging temperatures in Alberta (of below -20C/-4F) has left a fragment behind sitting over Vancouver Island, which is drawing the frigid air through the Interior and to the coast.
Temperatures are holding some 7C below the average for the time of year and are expected to last through November.
Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued Arctic outflow warnings for coastal and inland sections of the Central Coast, bringing wind chills near -20C (-4F) — a fierce outbreak that is also on course to descend south of the border, too, and engulf the vast majority of the United States (more on that later):

October 2022 in Uruguay was chillier than normal, as much as 1.5C chiller across the north, according to data provided by Inumet. Furthermore, of the past eight months in Uruguay, only one (July) has come out warmer than average.
Overall, October 2022 in Peru was also colder than normal, particularly on the Coast, although warmer days were felt inland. The nation’s capital Lima actually suffered one of its longest cold seasons on records, according to local reports.
While much of Argentina also experienced a colder-than-average October, with only a pocket of the south registering slightly above-average temps. Also, excluding the border with Paraguay, the country remains in a severe drought, typical of La Niña.
As puppet Joe Biden promises to curtail U.S. domestic oil production, regions across the country will be open to a historic energy crisis as temperatures tumble this winter.
Signs of vulnerability have already been apparent in recent months, with Bloomberg reporting that retailers in the Northeast are rationing energy as stockpiles of diesel and heating oil are at a third of their normal levels. Those unfavorable conditions could bring about challenges to the energy infrastructure that would be unprecedented in most Americans’ lifetimes.
According to Bloomberg: Add some cold to the mix, and in the best-case scenario, Northeast consumers will shoulder the highest energy bills in decades this winter. In the worst-case scenario, a cluster of states with a combined economy bigger than Japan’s will run out of fuel to keep the lights on and heat homes and businesses.
Even as the nation stares down energy shortages, Biden at a campaign event in New York on Sunday reiterated his crazy commitment to shut down the U.S. fossil fuel industry. “No more drilling,” Biden spat-out at a clueless climate alarmist in the crowd. Meanwhile, in Michigan, Democratic lieutenant governor Garlin Gilchrist on Saturday promised to “close more coal plants” to “strengthen our state’s response to the climate crisis.”
As stated many times, these corrupted puppets are reacting to their strings being pulled, they haven’t a clue of the disastrous impact said policies would cause, I doubt Biden even knew which city he was in on Sunday. ‘No more drilling’ means no more energy, which, in turn, means the untimely deaths of millions people and fuel poverty for hundreds of millions more.
This isn’t hyperbole, this is a stark and obvious reality — cold kills far more than heat, the literature is crystal clear on that, and if you remove peoples’ access to energy (particularly in the winter, particularly during the onset of the next GSM), you kill them.
Renewables cannot supplement the grid in any meaningful way, let alone power it entirely — this has been demonstrated in the real world for many years now.
And so, if blackouts hit in the dead of winter, whether they be this winter or next, the cotton-balled masses will simply not be equipped, neither with the knowledge nor willpower, to fend for themselves.
Sheep are bred that way; that is, to be utterly trusting of the shepherd so that when the time comes they can be easily led to slaughter with minimal fuss. The time appears to have come. I don’t know what else to say, or to do, for that matter — I am growing my own food, I am harnessing my own energy, I have broken my young family free from their collapsing system. I hope you are working to achieve the same.

Alberta Clipper Hits Saskatchewan
A weekend snowstorm caused chaos in Central Saskatchewan, affecting businesses, sporting events and city streets.
According to online weather reports, North Battleford saw white-out like conditions where visibility was “next to zero with 12-16 centimeters of snow and winds gusting up to 65 kilometers per hour.”
Elsewhere, La Ronge saw 19cm; the west-central part of the province logged 20cm; Melfort received 25cm; but the cherry was taken by Tisdale where the wind and snow left locales like Doug Tkachuk digging out eight-feet high snow drifts.
Doug’s wife, Val said he has been working non-stop clearing snow since Saturday afternoon: “There was probably two feet of snow on top of his vehicle,” she said. “He went out a couple of times last night and when he came back in, he said, ‘I’m going to wait til morning and I’ll go out again’ and when we woke up this morning we couldn’t believe it. The snow was up to my waist.”
‘Snowfall is on the decline’, is what those murderous, unelected psychopaths at COP27 would have us believe. UN Secretary General António Guterres, in his speech, warned that the world is “on a highway to climate hell”. This rhetoric isn’t backed by science, of course, but it will still be used to browbeat global policy makers into ushering in more anti-human measures.
Brace for a deepening energy crisis, a worsening food crisis, climate lockdowns and for the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of millions of people. They are breeding deception, turmoil, devastation, & tribulation: The End Times; they are eradicating prosperity at the onset of the next solar-driven global cooling cycle.
And while the absurdity persists in Egypt, Gateway Towing in Prince Albert has had its crew working around the clock to free snow-stranded residents: “To put it in one word, it’s overwhelming,” said Danny Goodwin of Gateway Towing. “Last winter, we had a couple of days where it was like this but not this early in the season.

“Dangerous” Cold/Snow Sweeps B.C.
In another example of the swings between extremes prevalent during times of low solar activity (via a weakening of the jet stream), November in British Columbia is proving to be the opposite of the anomalously-warm October.Heavy snowfall will continue to be the story across the province this week, after sizable accumulations settled over the weekend.

Shifting south, continuing the trend of the past few months, many South American nations have suffered colder-than-average Octobers.October 2022 in Uruguay was chillier than normal, as much as 1.5C chiller across the north, according to data provided by Inumet. Furthermore, of the past eight months in Uruguay, only one (July) has come out warmer than average.

U.S. Faces Energy Crisis As Biden Declares “No More Drilling”
As hinted at above, an Arctic outbreak is about to kickstart winter in the United States earlier and harsher than normal — inclement conditions that will be compounded by an entirely self-inflicted and, at least to my mind, planned energy crisis.As puppet Joe Biden promises to curtail U.S. domestic oil production, regions across the country will be open to a historic energy crisis as temperatures tumble this winter.
Signs of vulnerability have already been apparent in recent months, with Bloomberg reporting that retailers in the Northeast are rationing energy as stockpiles of diesel and heating oil are at a third of their normal levels.

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) confirmed 1.2cm (0.5 inches) of snow was recorded at the Vancouver International Airport weather station on Monday — a very rare occurrence this early in November.
ECCC Meteorologist Alyssa Charbonneau had to go all the way back to 1991 to find documentation of measurable snowfall earlier in the fall: “I remember that,” she said, “because I think there was snow for Halloween.”

The freeze and early-season snow is coming hot off the heels of a spell of unseasonable warmth — a ‘swing between extremes’ that hasn’t escaped Charbonneau’s attention: The recent conditions feel like a “big swing” from those recorded last month, she said.
But Charbonneau then goes on to downplay the ‘flip’, adding that “the weather swings between different patterns and extremes all the time.” This line surely won’t please ECCC’s AGW Party backers, who want all weather extremes to be perceived as ‘new, terrifying, and due to rising CO2 emissions’. And it is also a downplaying that somewhat jars with reality, because although autumn can indeed be a time of wild climatic transitions, what we’re seeing recently –record breaking warmth to record breaking cold/snow– is different.

Snowpack in Utah, for example, is currently well-above the average in every basin, as much as 1417% in San Pitch.
And although it doesn’t take much at this time of the year to rise above the norm, this reality still completely contradicts the agenda-driving drivel spouted by the anithuman psychopaths at COP27, where snowfall is, supposedly, vanishing from our planet.
“It’s fantastic,” hydrologist Jordan Clayton said about Utah’s snowfall. “We are off to an early start with our snowpack. We’re seeing a really good boost to our snow water totals, and that’s nice to see.”
Clayton thinks that 150% of normal precipitation will make a sizable dent in the state’s ongoing drought: “That’s a lot of snow, but I think we can do it,” the hydrologist added, pointing out that Utah logged near-record snowpacks in both 2011 and 2017 — it’s due another.
These early-season snowstorms have resulted in two Utah ski resorts opening earlier than usual.
Solitude Mountain Resort is the latest, due to open on Nov 11, a full week ahead of schedule, making it the resort’s earliest opening since 2013. While Brian Head Resort surprised skiers and snowboarders by opening last Friday, far earlier than it ever has before; in fact, Ski Utah confirmed that this makes it the fourth-earliest start to a ski season in Utah state history.
Looking ahead, the slopes will be happy to note that the next powerful Arctic blast is already lining up, on course to deliver feet of snow to Utah, and the surrounding states, beginning this week.

The surge in prices for January delivery came after utility company EDF reduced its forecast output for the fourth time this year, on this occasion due to extended outages at four reactors and maintenance delays at others.
Energy analyst Gerard Reid noted in a LinkedIn post that half of France’s 56 reactors are out of action due to scheduled or emergency maintenance measures.
“For months … EdF has been saying that everything will be okay this winter yet on Friday the company announced that another four reactors that were due back online in the coming weeks will be delayed till early next year,” Reid wrote, noting it was the fourth output downgrade in 2022.
This is beyond ridiculous now, past suspicious, and well into the realms of clear and obvious sabotage.
The AGW Party has never been sold on nuclear, despite the energy source ticking many of their ‘green’ boxes; nuclear likely would have fixed their manufactured problem, which would have been counter to their main objective.
Just like the unexplained fires ripping through the world’s food producing facilities, this intensifying energy crisis looks to be another cog within the elite’s controlled demolition of society, i.e. The Great Reset. It is hard to buy that this many dominoes could fall organically, or that policy makers could be this bewilderingly inept.
“The implications are enormous,” Reid noted. “For every 1 degree (C) drop in temperature France needs one extra nuclear power station to provide the power needed to provide heat across the country. What this means is that on a cold January day France needs circa 45GW of nuclear energy. Yesterday there was only 25GW online.”
It stands that these nuclear ‘problems’ pose just as big a threat to the EU grid as the better-publicized gas shortages — the issue isn’t just confined to within France’s borders; the country’s nuclear fleet is often hailed as the “backbone” of the European grid and often supports other nations in times of deficit.
And while many European countries now have their gas storage facilities full, which is unquestionably good news, the continent remains just one major cold snap away from almost immediately depleting its reserves with no quick way to refill them, given that Russian flows were recently literally sabotaged.
Bloomberg’s Javier Blas said France, as well as the broader European region, is now staring at a serious risk of blackouts this winter, when power demand peaks.
If the continent endures another ‘Beast From The East’, for example, as it did in 2018, the lights will go out, the heating will fail, and excess deaths, which have already been holding 15-20% above the 5-year average for the majority of 2022–no comment–will fire far, far higher.

Of the record-busting communities, the coldest came out as Sundre — the small, central Albertan town plunged to a jaw-dropping -32C (-25.6F) yesterday, shaving more than 10C (17.8F) off of its previous record low of -22.1C (-7.8F).
Below, I’ve listed all 33 of Alberta’s busted benchmarks from Wednesday, Nov 9.
Note, these are longstanding records that are being toppled, and by huge margins in some cases, too; realities that the treacherous Canadian government –via their fraudulent climate arm (ECCC) and bought-out mainstream media– is attempting to convince the masses are increasingly rare, due to CO2-induced Terrifying Terra Firma Broiling, aka Global Warming, aka Cow Farts, aka BS.
These are not rare, however; in fact, ‘cold extremes’ have been shown to be on the increase in line with the historically low solar activity Earth is continuing to receive.

The record cold hasn’t just been confined to Alberta, of course; the neighboring provinces of Saskatchewan and British Columbia have also endured unprecedented freezes for the time of year.
The snowfall has also been impressive, with Vancouver recently logging its earliest measurable snowfall since 1991.
This early-season injection of cold has plunged south of the border too, deep into the United States.
California’s Mammoth Mountain is currently under 60 inches (5-feet) of freshly fallen snow after an early season storm delivered one the biggest November snow totals on record to the Eastern Sierra.
For reference, this is already the snowiest November of the last decade at Mammoth—and it’s only November 10.

The mountain should be open top-to-bottom this weekend, but it may take some time for crews to safely open everything given the historic amount of snow and also the outlook, which is calling for yet more substantial November dumpings.

5 feet of new snow at Mammoth! Which means... It's the snowiest November in the last decade (and it's only Nov. 9) @MammothMountain will be open top-to-bottom this weekend

Much More To Come
If you thought the aforementioned conditions were bad, the North American continent is about to receive its first extensive Arctic Outbreak of the season.
A truly frigid invasion of polar cold is on course to engulf the majority of the CONUS, starting today, Thursday, November 10.
I’ll let the GFS do the talking, but these conditions aren’t to be taken lightly and should offer a taster of what’s to come when winter proper commences (still 6 weeks off, btw!) — a looming cold season which by all accounts, and by all forecasts (even mainstream ones), is on course to be a doozy.
Prepare.

GFS 2m Temperature Anomalies (C) Nov 10 – Nov 26 [tropicaltidbits.com].
Similarly across the Reunion Island, the temperature anomaly closed some 0.2C below the average. Also worth noting, it was the island’s driest October since 1972.

November 10, 2022 Cap AllonYesterday, 33 Low Temperature Records Fell In Alberta Alone
Calgary was one of 33 Alberta communities to see record-breaking daytime lows on Wednesday.Of the record-busting communities, the coldest came out as Sundre — the small, central Albertan town plunged to a jaw-dropping -32C (-25.6F) yesterday, shaving more than 10C (17.8F) off of its previous record low of -22.1C (-7.8F).
Below, I’ve listed all 33 of Alberta’s busted benchmarks from Wednesday, Nov 9.
Note, these are longstanding records that are being toppled, and by huge margins in some cases, too; realities that the treacherous Canadian government –via their fraudulent climate arm (ECCC) and bought-out mainstream media– is attempting to convince the masses are increasingly rare, due to CO2-induced Terrifying Terra Firma Broiling, aka Global Warming, aka Cow Farts, aka BS.
These are not rare, however; in fact, ‘cold extremes’ have been shown to be on the increase in line with the historically low solar activity Earth is continuing to receive.

The record cold hasn’t just been confined to Alberta, of course; the neighboring provinces of Saskatchewan and British Columbia have also endured unprecedented freezes for the time of year.
The snowfall has also been impressive, with Vancouver recently logging its earliest measurable snowfall since 1991.
Mammoth Mountain, CA Receives 5-Feet During One Of the Biggest November Snowstorms On Record
This early-season injection of cold has plunged south of the border too, deep into the United States.California’s Mammoth Mountain is currently under 60 inches (5-feet) of freshly fallen snow after an early season storm delivered one the biggest November snow totals on record to the Eastern Sierra.
For reference, this is already the snowiest November of the last decade at Mammoth—and it’s only November 10.

Cool Octobers For Thailand and Reunion
Lastly, and briefly, October 2022 in Thailand averaged out at 26.95C, which is 0.25C below the multidecadal norm.
Similarly across the Reunion Island, the temperature anomaly closed some 0.2C below the average. Also worth noting, it was the island’s driest October since 1972.
