The Ice Age Cometh! Forget Global Warming!

Some amazing footage of the seriously deep snow in Norilsk City, Russia and in the Alps





---------------------------------------------------------------------
That it snows in the mountains in December is not at all exceptional. But in recent hours, up to two meters of snow fell in the Alps and that causes problems here and there. There is also an avalanche danger in many places.

Traffic in particular will experience a lot of disruption on Sunday. There are currently no trains running on the Brenner Pass between Austria and Italy. Car traffic is also partly blocked.

There are power supply problems throughout South Tyrol, according to the civil defense. Some 1,400 firefighters have been active since Sunday morning. The highest avalanche warning applies in East Tyrol in Austria. That is why avalanches are generated spontaneously, some of them very large, the local authorities warn.

100 people evacuated

And there are also problems with rail and road traffic in Switzerland. In some places there are floods due to melted snow. In the Austrian village of Prägraten, another incident occurred on Saturday: a mass of snow fell on four houses and a car. No one was injured, but some 100 people had to be evacuated. Residents in the region are urged to stay indoors.

The situation is expected to improve only gradually, as another meter of snow is expected on Sunday.
 
Since Dec 1, the cumulative #pluies are consistent between the southern #Landes and the #PaysBasque where the monthly norms are already exceeded.#Biarritz thus experienced 4 consecutive days at more than 45 mm, unheard of since the start of the surveys in 1956!

And now also 'unseasonable' summer snow in New Zealand has blanketed regions below 200m! Apparently temperatures plummeted overnight and this climatic event is consistent with a Grand Solar Minimum and not Anthropogenic Global Warming.

The Arctic warms during times of otherwise “global” cooling. This phenomenon has long been accepted by NASA, among others (click here for more). But “warm” to the Arctic is still well-below freezing, there is no significant loss of sea ice, and as temperatures in the far-northern latitudes do climb its polar cold is displaced south where it freezes the lower-latitudes.

This is how ice ages begin.

Furthermore, this weekend’s cold is forecast to only intensify over the coming weeks, particularly across east Asia where temperature departures some 20C below the winter norm will engulf a staggeringly-large portion of the continent:

These predicted temperatures are the definition of extreme, and will undoubtedly prove record-breaking, disruptive, and even deadly.

December’s average low-temperature in Yakutsk, Russia, for example, is -40.4C (-40.7F), dipping 20C below this will rank as one of the coldest readings ever recorded in the Northern Hemisphere (with the coldest-ever being the -69.6C (-93.3F) in Dec.,1991 set at The Klinck station, Greenland–during the height of the global warming scare no less).
 
It's been -50C and colder this week in Yakutia, Russia. It's not a record-breaking cold for this region though. Children go to school, when the temperature is as low as -50C or even -56C in some parts of the region.

Yakutia Daily reports (translated via deepl.com):

After the birth, despite the severe weather conditions, the foal immediately stood on its feet. Usually Yakutian horse calves are born in spring. The Yakut horse is famous for its endurance and its ability to get its food with its hooves from under deep and hard snow.
 
Check out these snowfall records that have been smashed in the US during Winter Storm Gail last week. Remember, these figures are for ONE day compared with last years entire winter season!

Winter storm Gail record snow


As reported on Electroverse:

"State College was hit by 15 inches of global warming goodness, which broke the 24-hour December snowfall record by 2.5 inches in weather books dating back to 1893 (the previous record being the 12.5 inches set Dec. 11, 1992). In fact, more snow fell Wednesday than during the entire 2019-20 winter season."

So how are these crazy record-breaking snowfall accumulations being explained by the MSM?

Well, according to the Washington Post, it is the snow's "fluff factor". :whistle: 🥶

N. Hemisphere Record Snow Explained by Bigger Flakes: (The Gaslight)​


Hourly Snowfall totals termed "Unfathomable" occurring in the USA during Winter Storm Gail, Japan with its seven foot storm and Europe with 6+ feet in two days. The media tells us it a fluffier type of snow that stacks higher than regular snow, so what is really happening across the N. Hemisphere?


There have also been incredible snowfalls in Japan and Europe recently also, see below:
From Cs session on 22 Feb 97:

A: Climate is being influenced by three factors, and soon a fourth.
Q: (Laura) All right, I'll take the bait; give me the three factors, and
also the fourth!.
A: 1) Wave approach. 2) Chloroflorocarbon increase in atmosphere, thus
affecting ozone layer. 3) Change in the planet's axis rotation
orientation. 4) Artificial tampering by 3rd and 4th density
STS forces in a number of different ways. Be vigilant. Be observant. Be
cautious in your planning and be aware. Do not let emotional anomalies
cloud your knowledge base. This is not a "time" to let one's guard down.
Be especially careful of travel to unfamiliar locators, as well as
sleeping in unfamiliar surroundings!!! You are being watched. Or, at
least, it is best to assume you are, and act, think, and prepare
accordingly. Remember what you have been warned about concerning attack.
As you learn more and know more, you become more interesting... and,
when your ranks swell, you are more vulnerable unless you are more
aware!!
Q: (Laura) All right, were those given in the order in which they are
occurring? The fourth being the one that's coming later?
A: Maybe, but remember this: a change in the speed of the rotation may
not be reported while it is imperceptible except by instrumentation.
Equator is slightly "wider" than the polar zones. But, this discrepancy
is decreasing slowly currently. One change to occur in 21st Century is
sudden glacial rebound, over Eurasia first, then North America. Ice ages
develop much, much, much faster than thought.
 
Solar Flux and Fast Wind Boost for the Holidays | Solar Storm Forecast 12.24.2020
This Space Weather News forecast sponsored in part by Millersville University: https://www.millersville.edu/swen This week our Sun gives us some night gifts for the holidays. First we have an extended pocket of fast solar wind that has already brought aurora down to the UK and upper tier of the USA sporadically. It has also sparked some nice storm-time colors at high latitudes! Luckily, this fast solar wind should continue over the next few days through the weekend before it begins to calm down. So, aurora photographers, there is still time to catch some nice shows, especially at high latitudes.(We also have another smaller chance for aurora coming in about a week!) In addition, we also have solar flux getting a boost this week thanks to two new sunspots rotating into Earth-view. This means we are nearly back into the good range for radio propagation on Earth's dayside. Along with more new regions that will rotate into view over the next week, means we should see radio propagation continue to be pretty decent as we roll into the new year. Learn the details of the ongoing solar storming, catch up on gorgeous aurora shots from the continued fast solar wind, and see what else our Sun has in store this week.

Midnight: nothing much has changed. Continues to snow heavily and that looks to continue for the next several hours.
 

It's about to get very cold in this neck of the woods.

In addition to the strong winds over most of the country, the depression #Bella will generate a remarkable snowfall in the Massif-Central. Important accumulations expected by Monday evening, often more than 30 cm, the meter envisaged by ARW 3 km on the summits of #Cantal .

Above Europe it's so cold that the planes have to fly lower.

It was so cold that the planes had to fly lower.

Europe had its coldest day since February. At an altitude of 12 kilometers, the temperature was so high that planes could no longer fly.

This weekend was marked by freezing cold. Very low temperatures were measured in Switzerland, but also in the rest of Europe. In addition, storm Bella was accompanied by gusts that caused power outages in France and the United Kingdom.

This cold front also had an impact on air navigation. Severin Brüngger, Easyjet pilot, shared on Saturday on Twitter a photo showing an outside temperature of -74 °C. The aircraft was then at an altitude of just under 12,000 meters. "Rarely seen such icy air. It's too cold for us. We have to go down," explained the pilot.

MeteoSwiss indicates that at such an altitude a temperature of about -60 °C would be expected. For its part, Swiss confirmed that it also had problems with the temperatures. "On the Zurich-Düsseldorf flight, our plane had to descend because the air was too cold," explains Michael Stief, spokesman for the airline. "We had to prevent the kerosene from getting too cold. That's why the aircraft had to descend about 1,000 meters, he sums up. It's standard procedure."

A Luxair aircraft, which was scheduled to land this Sunday at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport, had to turn around because of strong winds, with gusts of up to 145 km/h recorded at the top of the Eiffel Tower. The plane, which was supposed to land in Paris this Sunday at noon, failed to do so, despite two attempts. A reader of "L'Essentiel", who was in the plane, confided that he was "a little scared". "It was moving around a lot," he adds.

"The captain then made the decision to turn around and land safely in Luxembourg," explains Luxair. "Some travelers were not very happy that they could not reach their destination," the reader-reporter said. In any case, Luxair's teams "then took care to propose appropriate alternative solutions to all passengers concerned", the company emphasizes. For example, the reader, who was due to fly to Rio via Paris, will take another flight on Monday, with a stopover in Amsterdam (Netherlands). "Passengers who do not live in Luxembourg have been offered to go to a hotel," he said.

According to the Aéroports de Paris (ADP) group, "37% of departing flights" from Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport "were delayed by an average of 50 minutes" at the height of the storm. Three planes whose initial destination was Paris-Charles de Gaulle were diverted to Orly, one from Greece, another from Switzerland and the third from Beirut, while an Aeroflot plane landed in Amsterdam.

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





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


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


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



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


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


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


Perhaps this post and the previous one should be moved to the "Ice Age Cometh" thread? Things do look a bit ominous.
