The Ice Age Cometh! Forget Global Warming!

Storm to deliver unusual wintry blast of snow to Sierra in April
Wednesday, April 11, 2018
Call it winter's last hurrah. (Doubt it :rolleyes:)

A cold system is dropping down from the Gulf of Alaska Wednesday and forecast to deliver a chilly blast of air — and up to a foot of snow — in the northern Sierra Nevada.

Temperatures will drop down below freezing overnight Wednesday as the storm passes over the mountains and blasts the region with snow.

"It's late in the season for a cool system like this," says meteorologist Eric Kurth with the National Weather Service in Sacramento. "It's more of a wintry type storm, considering we're in April."

The heaviest snow will fall in the evening, and those traveling over mountain passes should be prepared for winter conditions

Donner and Carson pass could see 8 to 12 inches, while Echo and Ebbetts Pass may get 6 to 8 inches. Lassen Park is expected to record up to 18 inches of snow. Ski resorts in the Tahoe Basin could record one foot or more of fresh powder.

Temperatures will continue to dive Thursday, and snow levels could drop as low as 2,500 feet, bringing light flurries to the foothills.

Some spots in the Sierra, including Truckee, could see temperatures drop into the teens overnight Thursday.

"For people going up skiing, they should expect ski resorts to be in the 20s," says Kurth. "That's unusual for this time of year. People who are used to spring skiing conditions, you're going to have bundle up as you would in January."

Skies will clear Friday and things will warm up a little with highs in the 40s. Saturday will be clear and mild and another system is expected to hit Sunday.

"We're not done yet,"
says Kurth.

These colder systems are a stark contrast to the warmer tropical storm that drenched the Sierra last week in rain. The so-called atmospheric river brought rain to elevations as high as 11,000 feet.

Major snowstorm to evolve into blizzard, halt travel in north-central US
AccuWeather 15 Hours Ago
A major storm will bring heavy late-season snow and blizzard conditions from portions of the northern and central Plains to the Upper Midwest from Friday to Sunday night.

The area likely to receive between 6 and 12 inches of snow is forecast to extend from central Montana to northeastern Wyoming, much of South Dakota, southern North Dakota, northern Nebraska, much of southern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin.

Blizzard conditions are projected from much of Nebraska, South Dakota and southern North Dakota to central and southern Minnesota to northern Wisconsin.

The storm has the potential to bring 1 to 2 feet of snow to part of the same area that is likely to experience blizzard conditions.
Other major cities in the region likely to be adversely affected by the snowstorm include Sioux City, Iowa; Valentine, Nebraska; Rapid City, Huron and Pierre, South Dakota; Miles City, Montana; Ortonville, Minnesota; and Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

"At this time, the zone from Toronto to London and Windsor, Ontario, may have substantial ice storm," according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson. "There is a risk of trees coming down and power outages in this part of southern Ontario with sleet farther north."

Two or three stories were carried on SOTT summarizing these papers published in Nature. Here's one:

Yep, helped me see the light! Thus, still stacking wood for the coming snowfall inundation.

Chemtrails? Contrails? Strange Skies -- Sott.net
Snip:
8) Now, what is wrong with the picture presented above?

Answer: the altitude of cirrus clouds vs the altitude of many jetliners that criss-cross the skies with trails which are obviously much lower than the altitude designated for cirrus clouds.

YET the trails left by these aircraft ACT like cirrus clouds used to act at much higher altitudes.

Most logical (and scariest) conclusion: the cold layer of the upper atmosphere has gotten lower and probably thicker and therefore, more airplanes flying at lower altitudes are forming contrails in that icy air which used to be the much higher domain of cirrus clouds.

Because, again, if you understand about the layers of the atmosphere, temperatures, winds, etc, then you will realize that what is happening is NOT spraying of the human population or even intentional weather manipulation, it is the EVIDENCE that our planetary atmosphere has changed dramatically in the past ten years or so.


More like 20 because that was when I began noticing the changes in cloud formation.

Grand Solar Minimum and no French Connection of reality

La France creuse sa « dette écologique »:pinocchio:
Mis à jour le 04.05.2018 à 09h48
France has begun to reduce its budget deficit, but its ecological deficit continues to widen inexorably. This is the alert launched by WWF in a report released Friday, May 4. As of Saturday 5, the French will live somehow on credit: if their consumption level was generalized to the planet, all the resources that nature can renew in one year would already be exhausted.

The NGO has worked in collaboration with the Global Footprint Network, an international research institute that annually calculates the "day of overtaking": the one from which the ecological footprint of humanity - carbon emissions, use of agricultural land, grasslands, forests and aquatic environments, or the artificialisation of soils - exceeds the planet's biocapacity, ie its annual capacity to absorb greenhouse gases of anthropogenic origin and restore its reserves.

No doubt this indicator has its limits. It gives a predominant weight to carbon emissions (60% of the ecological footprint) and does not take into account factors such as the loss of biodiversity, pollution or pressure on the water resource. Nevertheless, it allows us to measure, year after year and with constant parameters, the evolution of the situation. And the trend is not good.

Whereas until the early 1970s humanity consumed fewer resources than nature could afford, it later became a debtor. And the fateful day of passing is more and more precocious: December 1 in 1975, November 5 in 1985, October 5 in 1995, August 26 in 2005, August 4 in 2015, August 2 in 2017, may - be even earlier this year, for which the Global Footprint Network will deliver its verdict this summer. In other words, it would now need 1.7 to meet the annual needs of some 7.5 billion people.

Development model

WWF has for the first time looked at the particular case of France. It appears that if the whole world lived like the French, the capacity of ecosystems to regenerate would be exhausted from May 5, in just over four months. It would therefore take 2.9 planets for oceans and forests to store CO2 released within a year from human activities, and to feed livestock and fish, or the supply of wood to the world's population.

Admittedly, France's ecological footprint is smaller, compared to the biocapacity of the national territory, in France but also in the overseas territories. With this calculation, the French consume 1.8 times more resources than "their" natural environments are able to provide. "This report does not put forward a" nationalist "approach, but points a development model that leads to a worsening of our ecological debt," says Pascal Canfin, Director General of WWF-France.

Moreover, France ranks in the leading group of the most "predatory" countries, far behind Qatar (with the Qatari lifestyle, the day of the planetary overrun would be the ... February 9), the United States, the Canada or Australia, but at about the same level as Germany and the United Kingdom, ahead of Japan, Greece or Italy. For comparison, with the way of life of Vietnam, the day of the overtaking would intervene only December 20!

In detail, carbon emissions account for more than half (56%) of the ecological footprint of the French, the use of agricultural land for food and feed (20%), logging (11%). %), the allocation of grasslands to cattle breeding (5%), fishing (4%) and land cover by industrial infrastructure, transport routes or dwellings (4%). Globally, housing, transportation and food account for more than two-thirds of the pressure on natural environments, particularly because of the greenhouse gas emissions they generate.

For the WWF, this observation is all the more alarming since the Hexagon had, over the period 2008-2015, continuously reduced its ecological footprint. It has since recovered, with a 5% increase between 2015 and 2018. A bad result mainly due to a surge in greenhouse gas emissions in the building and transport sectors.

"The paradox is that this degradation began in 2015, the year of the adoption of the Paris agreement on climate," commented Pascal Canfin. Beyond cyclical explanations, such as the decline in oil prices have favored a rise in consumption, the NGO sees evidence that the national policy of ecological transition "is not ambitious enough".
"No planet B"

"If the planet was a business, it would be bankrupt," adds its managing director. Climate disruption, the disappearance of life, the destruction of primary forests and the transformation of oceans into plastic soup are signs of this ecological failure. "

The NGO believes, however, that it is not too late to raise the bar. "Technologies are now available, whether they be electric vehicles, low-energy housing, renewable energies or organic food," says Canfin. So it's a question of political will. The President of the Republic has made good financial management a key element of his five-year term. He must now put in place an ecological debt strategy. "

And take the word Emmanuel Macron who, on April 25, in front of the American Congress, declared: "There is no planet B." In other words, there is no choice but to live with the finitude of our Mother Earth .

From spring to winter again across the peaks and valleys of France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria. Snow depths are measuring in at 2 feet with seven day snow totals at 3.5 feet. It seems late spring snows are becoming a thing of now and the future now. I thought our children would never know what snow was. Arctic temperatures are back to the 1969-2002 base line and new images of glaciers advancing in Norway.

Signs are appearing our skies that the atmosphere is changing as predicted with the gran solar minimum. Rare anti-solar arcs over Norway, Cyclone over Yemen and Oman, Green flashes in UK and Norway. Hawaii has blue flames as the Earth cracks and methane ignites and CO2 didn't cause warming in 1950-1980 even though it was increasing in concentration. A look at Wheeler's drought clock, another repeating cycle as well the grand solar minimum.

Yesterday 26 of mai it snowed in Newfoundland, Canada. It's the first time I saw that in late may. Furthermore, it was our longest skiing season. It is ending today at Mont St-Sauveur, Quebec.

A retired mailman finds his true calling:

Nebraska retiree uses earth heat to grow oranges in snow

Interesting tips on how to harvest heat from below frozen ground to grow food in cold climate.


Winter temperatures in Alliance, Nebraska can drop to -20°F (the record low is -40°F/C), but retired mailman Russ Finch grows oranges in his backyard greenhouse without paying for heat. Instead, he draws on the earth’s stable temperature (around 52 degrees in his region) to grow warm weather produce- citrus, figs, pomegranates – in the snow.

Finch first discovered geothermal heating in 1979 when he and his wife built it into their 4400-square-foot dream home to cut energy costs. Eighteen years later they decided to add a 16’x80′ greenhouse in the backyard. The greenhouse resembles a pit greenhouse (walipini) in that the floor is dug down 4 feet below the surface and the roof is slanted to catch the southern sun.

To avoid using heaters for the cold Nebraska winter nights, Finch relies on the warm underground air fed into the greenhouse via plastic tubing under the yard and one fan.

Finch sells a “Citrus in the Snow” report detailing his work with his “geo-air” greenhouses and says anyone can build a market-producing greenhouse for about $25,000 or “less than the cost of a heat system on a traditional greenhouse”.

I've always paid attention to these environmentally friendly/useful innovations. Back in the day, Mother Earth news featured such ideas. So many people - esp quite ordinary ones - have figured out ways to help humanity do things better/cheaper in an earth-friendly way. Unfortunately, much has been squelched or rendered unattainable by the PTB. But then, that's the hallmark of the STS way. And, sorry to say, I am not living in geothermal heated/cooled house; nor do I have solar panels either (although those can produce loads of dirty electricity). Mainstream citizenry just isn't ready or able to embrace it so that it's the norm rather than the oddity. Mother Nature may change that scenario.

Australian media in damage control to explain Melbourne coldest start in 36 years to winter, record snow and frosts to withing 1500 miles south of the equator toward Cains. Bobby the moderator at OZ Politic has a full thread of 350 pages outside MSM control which shows massive ice gains in sea ice around Antarctica, all the while the MSM screams that we have to act now before the worlds coast lines are washed away by a melting Antarctica. Power grids were stretched to the limits in Australia during the Superfreeze event, but downplaying is the new narrative, and if it doesn't fit, just make a new set of rules. Perhaps we need to look to the Sabians of Harran to understand the cycles.

New Solar Cycle 25 forecast is out, which shows that our Earth will be as cold as or colder than the Dalton Minimum. The forecast also shows how cloud cells across our planet will uncouple and jet streams will wander further out of place with lightning freezes coming our way with more droughts and historical floods. This video is a compilation of such events over the last last week on our favorite planet, Earth. More snow Europe, floods and freezes out of season. Her we go, I do hope you are at least beginning to accept that the changes you see around you isn't all CO2 based.
