Between Oct 20 and Oct 26, the United States set 3,434 new DAILY low temp records (vs the 517 max), 234 new MONTHLY low temp records (vs just the 1 max), as well as 114 ALL-TIME low temp records (vs the big fat 0 max).

For decades it has been hammered into us that extreme cold events and severe snowstorms will be "a thing of the past", that a steadily warming world will see the back of recording breaking lows and all time heavy snows.

But now, after an undeniable increase in Arctic outbreaks over recent years, some members of the AGW party have felt the need to "tweak" the narrative.

In an affront to all logic and reasoned thinking, a catastrophically warming world now also means regular outbreaks of severe polar cold.

The Arctic Ocean has not refrozen in October the first time in "recorded history". The new incredible fast moving current that is blocking water circulation is coming from the Gakkel Ridge where the Earth's crust has split and water in the planet's crust is pouring out like a pressurized aquifer, disrupting the Murman and Spitzbergen Currents in the Laptev and Kara Seas.

The resort has accumulated 82.5 cm of snow so far this year, one month before opening day

SilverStar Mountain Resort's winter season is still a month away, but the snow must not have gotten the memo.

The mountain has accumulated a base of 82.5 centimetres so far this year, media relations manager Chantelle Deacon said Tuesday, Oct. 27.

The resort's ski season is scheduled to begin on Dec. 4, with Nordic trails to open on Nov. 28. It's a later start to the winter season than usual, but the resort says the plan is to help skiers and snowboarders stay physically distanced with more lifts running on opening day.

A four-year-old girl died this Wednesday afternoon after being hit by lightning, while walking with his grandmother and older sister, on a beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Brazilian website G1 says that the child was still admitted to the hospital, but ended up not resisting the injuries.

"I was parking when the lightning struck and the car shook. People started saying that it had hit a boy, but he was fine. When I approached I saw that it had also hit a girl. I even tried to help with techniques I learned in my youth. Grandma also tried to revive her while praying and asking 'go back to grandmother'. The help came as quickly as possible ", said Julio Morenato, who watched the moment.

As confirmed by this witness to the publication, a man was also struck by the same lightning bolt in the leg.

The capital of Libya, Tripoli has been hit by an unprecedented severe supercell storm on Tuesday, Oct 27th, 2020. The storm produced exceptionally large, *giant* hail, possibly more than 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter. The first reports indicate that hailstones could be one of the largest ever recorded on Earth!

Such hail size would definitely fit into the world's Top 3 giant hailstone events reported globally. Besides the Vivian (south Dakota) hailstorm from 2010 and the so-called 'gargantuan' hailstorm in Argentina in 2018.

Mount Sinabung in Karo, North Sumatra, erupted again on Thursday morning, this time shooting hot volcanic ash 2,000 meters into the air while spewing a 1,500-m-high ash column that affected a number of areas in the regency.

The eruption occurred at around 7:52 a.m. local time and followed an eruption on Sunday in which the volcano ejected hot ash clouds but not an ash column.

"This is the first time this month that the volcano erupted hot clouds together with volcanic ash," Mt. Sinabung observation team member Armen Saputra told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday.

A young Ukrainian tourist lost an arm and an Egyptian tour guide a leg in a rare shark attack over the weekend off Egypt's Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheikh, officials said Tuesday.

The attack took place Sunday when two tourists — a mother and her son —and their tour guide were snorkeling in Ras Mohammed national park, the Environment Ministry said in a statement.

The injured were taken to a nearby hospital and an initial investigation showed that the attack involved a 2-meter (6-foot) long Oceanic Whitetip shark, the ministry said.

The ministry did not release details of the injuries, but a statement by Ukraine's State Agency for the Development of Tourism said Monday the 12-year-old boy was in intensive care, and that surgery had failed to save his arm.
