Incredible! I'm sitting here comfortable, just bordering 40-50 miles away from the real dumping and 25'ish from Mt. Glacier, we seem very fortunate here in the Pac. NW (for the moment at least). I'm so thankful cause I think the building I'm in has a risk of collapse in a certain area. Then I have to wonder, what about a week, a month.. from now?

I hope you all are keeping warm, for those of you in the thick of it. If where I live were in it, it would actually be hard to type since the building I live in is breezy.

Amazing! Beautiful.

Like the heart of the world in the NOAA image. I sit here at the bottom of the left ventricle in temperatures of 32 degrees C - I cannot imagine what it must be like to experience Northern hemisphere weather..

My first thought when I saw this, besides the obvious "Ice Age now", was that our weather systems have dumped an enormous amount of water (in the from of snow) over the Northern hemisphere, so much so, that had that water came form the oceans, there may be a decreasing trend in the sea-levels, however this is not the case, sea-levels are rising…so where does the water for all this precipitation come from?

Well we have satellites which monitor and record the amount of moisture in the atmosphere between the satellites and the ground, and the amount of water vapour being recorded in our recent inundations can’t be explained by the levels of moisture between the satellites and ground simply being moved around the planet by the jet streams form here to there. There is too much water being added to the level of water vapours, which is constantly increasing, as we see in increasing global sea-levels.

An Electric Universe model can and does explain this. The water vapour/moisture is being drawn into our atmosphere by our Earth’s Geomagnetic Field, which acts like the tail of a comet and draws in this moisture to our upper atmosphere. The Northern and Southern Jet Stream then move these bands of moisture around the globe, with most of this moisture being deposited at colder latitudes nearer the Northern and Southern poles. It then comes as no surprise that this precipitation falls as snow and causes the build up of the great ice sheets we see at our Northern and Southern poles. Now for the past few years, thanks to the work of Laura and the SOTT team and some of our satellite’s recording and measuring the thickness of our ice sheets at the poles, we know that the amount of precipitation is on the increase dramatically. This increased precipitation at northern and southern poles, has in turn has led to what were seeing now, thickening ice sheets at their centre. As the ice pack thickens at it’s centre, more and more ice sheets slide and flow over the warm Antarctic land mass, which has caused increased calving of smaller ice sheets and ice shelf’s at the margins, as the ice sheets spread outwards over the warmer land mass. The same thing can be seen happening over Greenland, due to the warmer land mass causing rivers of fresh water to cascade into the oceans.

Just think of all those pictures in the mainstream media of calving ice sheets, with Polar Bears atop, being seen at latitudes that we are not used to seeing them, and this starts to all fit with an electric universe and a Globally Cooling Climate, due to increased precipitation. NOT GLOBAL WARMING, as Al-drenched in-Gore would have us believe! Many scientists have now dated the southern ice pack, and realised it is much younger than we had previously thought, around 3,600 – 4,000yrs old, and the ice pack we see now is due to this rapid thickening process, brought about by a globally cooling climate.

Now the question is, what causes this Global Cooling, increased precipitation and lowers the precipitation bands as we are seeing now in our time? Well the SOTT team have presented us with the best explanations so far, an electrical exchange between our planet and the alignment of the nearby comets, moon, planets and sun, causing an electrical charging of our atmosphere, and causing the fluctuation’s, weakening and possibly reversal of our magnetic field

I am an ex-Chicago resident living now in central Wisconsin - I have been in the Wisconsin -Illinois environment for most my life (63 years) - I find the weather so far to be what I have already gone through (it has always been weird) - example Chicago 1973 - it snowed then much more than it did on Tues 2-1-2011 - in 73 it shut down O'HARA airport and we had back to back snow accumulation in the winters of 1978-79 and 79-80 that got my 4 wheel full size Chev Blazer stuck off and on and all the way back around 1957 our family left a suburb of Chicago to spend the Xmas with my Uncle in Wausau, WI - how we managed to get there in a 57 Buick is now beyond understanding but we did and the next day I and my cousins walked just below the telephone wires from pole to pole - that is how high the snow was back then - the cars had to have tall flags on the bumpers to move through intersections - so again I see no big difference from my view point from Illinois to Arkansas back to Wisconsin- just my observations.

The gulf stream is dead. There is a lot of speculation that the death of the gulf stream may be responsible for some of this crazy global weather.

Thyere is noe sea rise globally except on certain scientists computor models...which say everything but tell us nothing. The weather is a something akin to a refridgerartor...youb turn up the gas/electric heat and it gets colder...question is, where isthe extra heat coming from, from outer space or inner space...maybe the additional volcanic activity has something to do with it.

As for Apollynon, he is just a comments hack who needs to tell people what he finds interesting...probably cos nobody wants to listen to him in the real world. Some would say its a call for help.

tantrum, tantrum - once again you show how utterly mistaken you are. I wonder whether "Laura" feels the same way...you seem to be like one of those little highly strung lap dogs that yaps and bites the air when any one walks into your zone...as for TOP GUN - I suggested he change his name to TOP CRUMB...judging by the faux remarks he has been wont to make. As for you Apollynon your diatribes are of no interest to me...I am just politely replying to your comment.

As for Laura - if she has any comment to make to me I am sure SHE will...I admire her perseverence and views that is why I read SOTT, as well as other sites...have a nice day

you have some very strange ideas, laura couldn't care less about what you beleive or any body else, if you had read enough of her stuff you would know that. Then you go around calling people lap dogs.
I sorta suspect you want to be lauras lapdog.
Heres some advice lauras not into being worshipped you would know that from her material if you had read it and understood the message.
you certainly have the feel of being not what you seem.
And as for you and your extra heat must be blowing from your arse.
try eating less onion.

What is the big deal... It snows in the winter months in the northern hemisphere - especially in Jan and Feb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If any thing it has been a mostly normal and average winter in Toronto this year...

If the planet looked like this in May or June would say there would be something to worry about!

These continued top story reports on the weather make me feel like I am watching the sequel to an inconvenient truth!!

Apollynon could you maybe try giving it a rest? You have some interesting things to say, but your interminable comments so often lead to this silly and quite juvenile back and forth. If you can't get a handle on your compulsion to tell everyone what YOU think, then why don't you do it on the forum; that's where the more intelligent conversation happens.

wherever the heat causing moisture to rise to the atmosphere may have originated, the net global effect is a COOLING of the planet. The long term trend is probably either relatively static or maybe decreasing.
For Australia's "esteemed" Professor Garnaut to tell us that the global average is still increasing is a leap into fantasy. Seemingly he has an agenda, somewhat remote from the facts and the science.

so Darenobi-one-knobi - you want to get into the art of frothing off on the comments and using vulgar terms instead of expressing your points of viewrationally...another sycophant type to the intellect of the authoress of the site you decide to speak for her with your pathetic little opinion instead of minding your own business...well join Apollynon because he's another one who likes to jerk-off on the items of others. You both seem to have time for vanity in lieu of intellectuality - have a nice day.

I agree. I've always said the last 2 weeks of January & the 1st two weeks of Febrary are ths peak of winter

We will see what we see, yes?
