Some parts of the Han River are frozen in Seoul, Friday, after subzero temperatures over the past few days.
New peer reviewed research from Svensmark shows that Galactic Cosmic Rays have SEVEN Times as much effect in creating clouds as previously believed. Incredible 12 feet of snow dumps on Germany in the Alps in a single storm. First time ice is seen on Korean river in 71 years, coldest in 100 years in Queensland Australia.

Comment: Study: Cosmic rays trigger climate change on Earth by increasing cloud cover

Every year more and more anomalous weather events are being reported all over the world, we're even seeing changes in the seasons; in the US and Europe it's unusually cold with some regions seeing record breaking snowfall. Both hemispheres are recording more abrupt and harsher winters that's leading to massive crop losses for farmers and a surge in commodity prices.

Mainstream science is failing to recognise the impact that our Sun's activity, the lowest in 200 years, is having on our planet; we're seeing a dramatic weakening of Earth's geomagnetic field and more more cosmic rays are entering into our atmosphere causing more cloud cover, and in tandem the polar jet streams are behaving erratically meandering further south for prolonged periods, causing the infamous 'polar vortex' phenomenon.

It's clear there are great changes occurring on Earth and some point to the beginning of a mini ice age.

Harsh Winter Conditions Across Canada this Christmas

It's cold out there.
In three related articles from CBC News this week, Canadians across the country are experiencing powerful storms, record cold temperatures, and extreme winter conditions during the Christmas holiday.

The first comes from the province of Nova Scotia on the east coast, where a powerful windstorm on Christmas Day knocked out power for tens of thousands of people.
A storm knocked out power to tens of thousands of Nova Scotians on Christmas Day as high winds blew trees onto power lines and broke utility poles.

By mid-morning on Tuesday, about 50,000 Nova Scotia Power customers were without electricity, down from about 90,000 at the peak of outages at 9 p.m. on Monday. [...]

Environment Canada had issued wind warnings for the entire province on Monday, cautioning of gusts up to 110 km/hr.

US: Christmas brings Northeast blizzard, bitter cold in Midwest

Pedestrians walk down the centre of the road in Moncton, N.B., as a winter storm blows through Atlantic Canada on Christmas Day, Monday, Dec. 25, 2017.
The good news for many in the Northeast and Midwest was that it has been a white Christmas. The bad news was that a blizzard swept into parts of New England and bitter cold enveloped much of the Midwest.

Even the usually rainy Pacific Northwest got the white stuff. The National Weather Service says it's only the sixth time since 1884 that downtown Portland had measurable snow — only an inch or two — on a Dec. 25.

A blizzard warning was issued Monday for portions of Maine and New Hampshire, with forecasters saying snow of up to 10 inches (25 centimeters) and wind gusts up to 50 mph (80 kph) could make travel "dangerous to impossible."

Most businesses were already shuttered on Christmas Day in New England. One of the few open was The Tobacconist cigar shop in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, where area-resident Dwayne Doherty said he welcomed the fresh blanket of snow.

OK, this is taking "White Christmas" a bit too far.

The National Weather Service in Cleveland reported the lake-effect snowfall that inundated Erie over the weekend and Christmas — and continues to fall — can now count itself as the most intense in Pennsylvania history.

Erie received 34 inches of snow on Christmas Day, not only breaking the all-time city Christmas record of 11 inches but also breaking the all-time daily snowfall record, which was 20 inches on Nov. 22, 1956.

Emmet County, specifically Petoskey, is continuing to deal with the winter storm.

Downtown Petoskey saw near whiteout conditions all day.

Some that live in the area woke up to upwards of 20 inches of snow overnight.

It was a lot more than many wanted to deal with, others are excited to see the snow piling up.

Eighty Cambodians, mostly rural residents, were killed by lightning strikes in 2017, down 26 percent from the 108 deaths in 2016, a disaster control spokesman said on Monday.

Besides the fatalities, thunderbolts also injured 63 others this year, down 40 percent from the 105 injuries last year, said Keo Vy, the spokesman for the National Committee for Disaster Management.

He said although the fatal numbers from lightning strikes had declined, lightning was still the leading cause of deaths among fatalities from natural disasters.

"The weather this year was much better than that of last year," he told Xinhua.

A seven-year-old child was killed and over 70,000 people were left without electricity on Christmas Eve in Poland, which was hit by winds of up to 95kph early on Sunday.

A tree fell on a moving car in Koscierzyna County on Poland's Baltic Sea coast. A seven-year-old boy was killed in the accident. His father, who was driving the vehicle, was hospitalized, Fakt24 website reports.

The severe weather has affected 10 out of 16 voivodeships in Poland, with strong winds bringing down trees, damaging buildings, and crippling power lines. As a result, over 72,000 Poles were left without electricity on Christmas Eve, the Government Security Center said. The worst situation is currently in Pomeranian Voivodship, where 53,000 were affected by the blackout.
