2016 - 32 days
2017 - 10 days

This year there way only one tiny sun spot (03.01) which disappeared after several hours.

:scared:

Yes, I also noticed it and these are many days already when he have just the beginning of Janaury. Also in the last weeks, it was snowing in Greece and Sicilia for the first time over 20 years. Like the most recent picture of the day from Sott shows:

Yep, it looks like the world is in for a big cold suprise sooner or later. As it looks right now, sooner might actually be more likely.
 
In 1966 to 1969, it was impossible to harvest grain on the prairies due to wet and snowy conditions. Grain driers were invented during that time. In 1970 I went to work for my Aunt and Uncle in Northern Manitoba. We left Winnipeg in January with the temperature at -35° F. When we got to Ponton the CBC said that the temperature was -64°F, at 2am. Uncle Stan only had a small area of the windshield that was kept clear with the heater going full blast. We were in a 1969 Pontiac Station Wagon, which were known for good heaters. My cousins and I had to use sleeping bags to stay warm in the back seat. The mercury was down in the ball when we got there. In February, when it got to -20°F we were walking around in shirt sleeves outside in the day time.

Those times were not as much of a solar minimum as we are expecting over the next few years. Apparently things are just starting to cool down.

WIN 52,

I hope others don't mind if we reminisce a bit here. Your story made me recall The Blizzard of 1966. It is the biggest storm in my memory. I lived in Annandale, VA at the time.

The Washington D.C. area only got about 13.8 inches according to the Washington Post article.

Wikipedia says:

On Monday, January 31, federal government employees in Washington were excused from reporting to work [4] and closed international airports from Boston to Washington, D.C.. Sixty inches (five feet or 152 cm) of snow fell on Oswego, New York, and the additional accumulation raised the snow level to 13 inches in Norfolk, Virginia.[5] By February 1, additional snow brought the level to 102 inches (8 1/2 feet) to Oswego.[6] (This held the record for the most snowfall in a single storm in Oswego until the Lake Effect snow storm of February 2007).

The biggest snow was in Oswego N.Y.:


If the inauguration actually takes place this year who knows what the weather may be. :huh:

Yup, sounds right for those times across Canada - deep freeze. Just back from Vancouver whereby it was pretty darn cold for that coastal city - snow and ice. I read that Hydro bills were so massive for heating in that region that they have extended a system so people can catch up by paying their bills over a six month period. Of course Hydro massively increased the rates in the last few years too. Today, the news had a woman from Ontario telling the Prime Minister that her bill is $1,000 a month for their extortionist hydro system - very sad.

Here in the BC mountains its been a constant -20's to -30's (c) overnight with a brief reprieve at Christmas. They claim it will rise above zero next week. Two dead vehicle batteries and a starter so far.
 
Too Much Snow Closes Ski Resorts ,Ice Pillars & California Drought Erased in One Storm (290)
Adapt 2030
Published on Jan 14, 2017
With over 10 feet of snow falling in the last weeks in California and Colorado, ski resorts closed from too much snow, highways completely cut off and with one storm, California filled all of its reservoirs again. So much for the doom and gloom of the IPCC telling us the drought would intensify due to CO2 warming and Gore told us our children would never know what snow is again.

Just stumbled upon an eerie reminder what extreme temperatures can do. :shock:

http://abcnews.go.com/International/frozen-fox-extracted-danube-display-germany-warning-icy/story?id=44757316

An apparently drowned fox encased in a thick block of ice is on display in a small town in southern Germany.

Franz Stehle, a hunter, told German news agency DPA today that he came across the fox earlier this month, which he says fell through the frozen surface of the frigid Danube River and drowned.

Stehle had the block containing the frozen animal extracted from the river last week and put on display outside his home in Fridingen, which is nestled along the upper reaches of the Danube. The spectacle serves as a warning of the dangers of the icy river, the hunter told DPA.

It’s not unusual for animals to break through the river’s thin ice during the winter, Stehle said, adding that he has discovered frozen deer and wild boars a number of times.

​High-density snow collapsing roofs and buildings in Idaho, Oregon, Colorado and Anchorage, Alaska.

Snowstorms throughout the Rocky Mountain states as well as Alaska have destroyed hundreds of the region’s weaker buildings and led to at least one death.

Heavy Snowfall Destroys Buildings in the American West (Photos)
https://sputniknews.com/us/201701251050010101-snow-destroys-buildings-western-america/

26.01.2017 - Idaho governor C. L. Otter has signed an emergency declaration for Washington County, where over a hundred buildings have been crushed under the weight of recent snows. A Washington County man broke his leg and hip after a carport collapsed. Elsewhere in the state, a woman's porch fell, crushing her to death.

​Weiser, a small city in Idaho, saw its only grocery store, Ridley's Family Market, lose two-thirds of its roof. Weiser Memorial Hospital granted store-owner Mark Ridley the use one of their administrative buildings as an emergency retail facility while the roof is repaired.

​Dell Winegar, president of the Idaho Onion Growers Association, said that nearly 20 farm buildings have been damaged in Idaho and Oregon. Onion prices have spiked 86 percent in the region.

​"It's been a heartbreak for a lot of folks," Winegar told the Seattle Times. "It's hard to prepare for something that has never happened before."

​Other Idaho farmers, including organic-produce grower Tim Sommer of Middleton, and vineyard manager Dale Jeffers of Sunnyslope, have reported severe damage to their crops.

​The most famous structure to be damaged is the 180,000-square-foot sports center in Anchorage, Alaska, known as The Dome. The gigantic building proclaims itself to be the world's largest structure supported by pressurized air.

​The high-tech pressurization system did not protect The Dome from a roof collapse.

​In Bend, Oregon, a storage facility for campers and motorhomes, as well as the gymnasium of a local elementary school, saw roof collapses. No injuries were reported in either incident. Portland General Electric has reported that 63,000 Oregonians have been affected by power outages.

A Rocky Mountain ski resort in Breckenridge, Colorado, saw its conference room collapse. Nobody was injured, but several buildings have been evacuated as a precautionary measure. Overall damage in Colorado has been minimized due to strict building codes.

​Experts say the heavy snow accumulation is a result of both increased precipitation at lower-than-usual elevations, and prolonged cold temperatures which have prevented past snows from melting. In addition, frequent snowfalls make it difficult to clear the roofs.

​Ron Abramovich, with the Idaho Snow Survey, says that another problem is people underestimating the stress on their rooftops. "They may look at the roof and say, 'There's not as much snow there because it settled,'" he told the Seattle Times. "But it really comes down to the amount of water in the snowpack."

High-density settled snow can be deceptively thin but weigh thousands of pounds.
 
Japan blanketed by sea effect snow so intense that it is creating wind vorticies off the islands in the East China Sea. Tottori Prefecture received a full years worth of snow in one day. Highways cut, millions of people stranded, power outages and in Hokkaido ski resorts closed due to too much snow.

Around page 48 of this thread starts some info about "Sudden Stratospheric Warming".

Today, article on SOTT about upcoming LONG FREEZE due to SSW.

https://www.sott.net/article/341824-Rare-polar-phenomenon-Sudden-Stratospheric-Warming-could-trigger-big-freeze-across-UK

The UK faces a three-week freeze with temperatures plunging as cold as -15C because of a rare North Pole phenomenon that triggered the 2010 big freeze and nationwide white-out. The worst cold spell of winter, with widespread snow, ice and travel chaos, threatens from February 11.

The North Pole's high-altitude air has suddenly warmed up and is set to shunt cold low-level Arctic air south to Scotland. However, the whole of the UK is set for a bitter spell of freezing temperatures.

The event, known as a Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) usually chills Scotland for two weeks or longer and sees widespread snow. It has not occurred for four years, official records show. The warning points to the Arctic phenomenon in its February to April forecast being briefed to the Cabinet Office, transport bosses, councils and emergency services.

An SSW often allows cold air to flood Britain from the east and is forecasting "colder and drier conditions" from the end of the week for up to three weeks, lasting into March. The last SSW event to hit Scotland was in early 2013, which saw the coldest March for 51 years, with snow and -12.5C lows as late as March 31 in Braemar, Aberdeenshire.

SSW events also triggered -16.1C lows in Altnaharra, Highland, in November 2010 - starting December 2010's month-long Big Freeze. Britain's record coldest ever February temperature is -27.2C, set on February 11, 1895, at Braemar, Aberdeenshire.

A Met Office forecaster said: "It is likely to become rather cold in the East, and from mid-February until the beginning of March, high pressure over the continent will gradually build. "Our weather is likely to stay on the cold side, with a lot of dry days. "Nights will bring further frost. The start of March may turn more unsettled."

The government February to April contingency forecast said: "The probability of Sudden Stratospheric Warming is higher-than-normal in February. "These events disrupt the stratospheric polar vortex and, more often than not, bring cold weather to the UK." Professor Adam Scaife added: "A Sudden Stratospheric Warming involves a complete reversal of the high altitude polar jet stream.

"This can burrow into the lower stratosphere. "The Atlantic jet stream often weakens and moves south. This allows cold air from the east into northern Europe and the UK." If easterly air reaches the UK and becomes established, temperatures could fall as low as -15C.

One wonders, of course, when such an event is going to trigger ice sheet build-up.

Also, comet scheduled to come close to earth on Feb 11 just in time for my birthday!!!

Spikes On The Graph :whistle: (Dark Star+ Comet Cluster + The Wave ?)

Session 23 January 2016
(L) Other questions?
(Joe) There's an alignment of five planets starting more or less now...
(L) It's not an alignment. Let's call it a display... a visual display.
(Joe) Okay. Of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn for the next month. The last time this happened was December 2004, which also lasted for one month. About ten days into that event, there was the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami that killed 300,000 people.
(L) When was the last time it happened before that? Has anybody looked into that?
(Data) It's hard to calculate it.
(Joe) Well, it would be in the news, no? But maybe the first question is: Did the last alignment have anything to do with that earthquake?
A: Yes partly.
Q: (Pierre) The reason why this alignment was a cause or partial cause of the earthquake is related to this discharge model we developed in the Earth Changes book?
A: Yes but not all such configurations are necessarily connected to such events. In the present period, there are other important energies afoot in the cosmos.
Q: (Pierre) In 1997, you mentioned that the energetic source of El Niño was some kind of energetic connection with the cosmos around 18 degrees latitude.
A: Yes
Q: (Pierre) Now, you also mentioned in 1997 that Laura should look for a spike in the graph. Here in my hand, in front of my eyes I have an ocean index graph showing that there is a spike. Right now we're experiencing the strongest El Niño since 1950. So, first: Is this spike the spike you were hinting about 19 years ago?
A: Indeed. And it is not yet over.
Q: (Pierre) We have reached a level that is higher than ever, and it's STILL climbing up. You mentioned this spike in conjunction with a 10.4 earthquake near the West coast of the USA in the Pacific.
A: Indeed.
Q: (Pierre) So, does this spike in El Niño activity indicate a 10.4 earthquake coming in the Pacific?
A: Could very well be. Notice the Hawaii aviation crash and then relate to the items we listed as being associated.
Q: (L) Well, now wait a minute. In that particular list of items... Admittedly, that also includes something about, "Ukraine explosion". Well, what we have in Ukraine is not even an explosion, it's like a human explosion there. There are lots of associated bombs exploding and military type activity. But a singular Ukraine explosion, chemical or nuclear, did not occur.

A: Notice also in that possible timeline that Princess Diana was mentioned?
Q: (L) Yes, Princess Diana was mentioned as some kind of suicide attempt. But Princess Diana is dead, so what are you saying? Are we on a different timeline than the one that was involved in that collection of predictions?
A: Somewhat. Notice that what has happened in Ukraine is worse than a single explosion.
Q: (L) So Princess Diana died in 1997, before we talked about that spike. The predictions about Ukraine and all those other things came, what? In 1994? Several years earlier, I think. And you're saying that what was predicted in that string of predictions about Ukraine specifically was not as bad as what is actually happening now. And obviously, Princess Diana dying in that terrible car crash as she did then was a lot worse than her living on and maybe having a suicide attempt but getting counseling and living her life, her children not being left alone, and all that sort of thing. So, what appears to me to be what's going on is that we actually switched to a worse timeline because of something somebody did in 1996 or 1997?
(Pierre) Between the predictions and now.
(L) And are the predictions still similar?
A: Yes
Q: (L) I mean, we've still got Ukraine having explosions, just different. We still had this Hawaii aviation crash, which was on the list. But there were several other things. So, some things could be worse and some things could be not so worse? Is that what we're getting at?
A: Yes
Q: (L) What about the 10.4 earthquake? That was talked about after Diana’s death... I had the feeling that Diana's death was an evil thing. Like if somebody did that, they changed the whole future in a negative way. What was the date of that session?
(Andromeda) It was an evil marker.
(Chu) What else was in those predictions?
(L) California, Lassen, gas explosion in the Northeast... We've been having gas explosions like CRAZY, but everywhere.
(Data) What about the supernova?
(L) The supernova was included. We just got that report about the most bodacious supernova ever seen.

{December 13th, 2015: 'Intense Alaska storm ties strongest on record'
Quote
A potent storm approaching western Alaska this weekend has tied the strongest recorded storm to impact the region. This storm comes a little over a year after ex-Super Typhoon Nuri became the most powerful system on record to cross Dutch Harbor, Alaska, which is located in the Aleutian Islands, with a central low pressure of 924 millibars (27.29 inches of Hg).

Wiki entry on the November 2014 'Bering Bomb':

Quote
Due to an unusually powerful North Pacific jet stream, the extratropical cyclone underwent extremely explosive cyclogenesis on November 7, owing to the energy from differences in air masses. The system split into two centers early on the same day, but the former center on the southwest was absorbed into the new center on the northeast, within half of a day. After attaining typhoon-force winds at 70 knots (130 km/h; 80 mph), the new storm’s central pressure decreased to 924 mbar (hPa; 27.29 inHg) [NOAA's figure] early on November 8, becoming the most intense extratropical cyclone of the North Pacific Ocean since reliable records began. The system's intensity shifted the jet stream far to the north of Alaska, resulting in a large mass of Arctic air invading the United States along and east of the Rocky Mountains, which caused the worst cold wave the United States had experienced since the 2013–14 North American cold wave.}

(L) So, yeah... There is obviously some kind of energetic sink there. It's sucking energy.
(Data) Did the supernova that happened in January (this month) have any effects on humanity?
A: It didn't happen in January.
Q: (L) When did it happen?
(Data) The news article is from January.
(Andromeda) I think they discovered it in June of last year – June 2015. That's when it was first detected.
{Lee Billings of Scientific American reports:

Quote
Discovered in June 2015 by ASAS-SN’s twin 14-centimeter telescopes operating in Cerro Tololo, Chile, the supernova just appeared as a transient dot of light in an image, and wasn’t immediately recognized as particularly special. Only after several other telescopes piled on to provide additional observations of the outburst’s fading afterglow did it become clear to Dong and his collaborators that they had seen something record-breaking. The first hint came from a spectrum of the supernova delivered by the 2.5-meter du Pont Telescope in Chile seven days after the initial discovery. “When we saw the spectrum, we were baffled,” Dong recalls. “It didn’t look like any supernova we had seen.

The explosion’s magnitude is so large that it challenges the current theories about these cosmological phenomena. Allison Eck of PBS explains:

If ASASSN-15lh’s parent star shed its out layers of gas and then collapsed its inner core to form what’s called a magnetar—a dense, rapidly rotating magnetized core—then magnetized wind emanating from that collapse could have shocked the outwardly flying matter enough produce a massive explosion. The catch is that the magnetar would have to have been spinning at a rate of one revolution per millisecond—that’s 60,000 rpm—which pushes the boundaries of what scientists think is physically conceivable. The magnetar idea may not be correct, but it’s at least plausible. Meanwhile, experts are on the lookout for other explanations.}

(Data) What were the effects from the supernova?
A: Compare news to event!
Q: (L) Are you saying that it can have an effect on humanity, or it did?
A: Yes
Q: (L) But it's up to us to figure it out?
A: Yes

Trojan asteroids are common at the L4 and L5 Lagrange points of other planets, leading or following the planet in its orbit.

But detecting our own Trojan asteroids from Earth is difficult since they appear close to the sun from our perspective. In mid-February 2017, NASA's OSIRS-REx mission will search for these elusive objects when the spacecraft passes by Earth's L4 Lagrange point, en route to asteroid Bennu in 2018. Jim Green, the Director of Planetary Science at NASA, discusses OSIRIS-REx and its search for Earth's Trojan asteroids.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory: Year 7 Ultra

The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has now captured nearly seven years worth of ultra-high resolution solar footage. This time lapse shows that full run from two of SDO's instruments. The large orange sun is visible light captured by HMI. The smaller golden sun is extreme ultraviolet light from AIA and reveals some of the suns atmosphere, the corona. Both appear at one frame every 12 hours. SDO's nearly unbroken run is now long enough to watch the rise and fall of the current solar cycle. The graph of solar activity shows the sunspot number, a measurement based on the number of individual spots and the number of sunspot groups. In this case, the line represents a smoothed 26-day average to more clearly show the overall trend.

Notice the graph of solar activity on the top right corner.
