Mammoth Mountain has received a record 29 inches of snow this month.
California's strange spring weather continues to stun the state, now setting a record for the snowiest May at Mammoth Mountain.

The resort got a record 29 inches of snow this month, giving those in Southern California a chance to ditch the sandy beach for the powdery mountain this Memorial Day weekend. Roughly 1.4 million passengers are expected at Los Angeles International Airport through Tuesday, a new record.

The snowfall has already topped May 2015's record of 28 inches, further adding to the enormous dump of powder that Mammoth has received. A total of 489 inches have accumulated at the main lodge, and 715 inches have been recorded at the summit. The ski resort's current base depth is between 90 and 155 inches.

Sperm whale found dead on beach with stomach full of plastic waste in Sicily, Italy

Sperm whale beached at Cefalu, Italy
Another whale has washed up on the shores of Italy and just like the last time, the sperm whale's stomach was full of plastic. It appears to be a juvenile seven-year-old whale and it's not known whether the plastic trash was the reason for its death, reports CNN.

The environmental organisation Greenpeace Italy posted videos and photos (graphic images) on social media that showed a huge amount of plastic being recovered from the whale's after officials cut open the carcass. Considering the young age of the whale and the incredible amount of plastic in its stomach, it could have been the cause of its untimely death. The plastic could have blocked its stomach from food going inside further. However, it's still under investigation.


Comment: Elsewhere recently a dead pygmy sperm whale was found at Huntington Beach, South Carolina on the 24th of May while the body of an unspecified whale species turned up on the coast of Hawaii on the 25th.

Massive 8 magnitude earthquake strikes Peru
A large earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 8.0 struck north-central Peru early Sunday, the U.S. Geological survey reported.

The quake, at a moderate depth of 71 miles struck at 12:41 a.m. PDT, 50 miles southeast of the village of Lagunas and 98 miles east-northeast of the larger town of Yurimaguas.

There were no immediate reports of casualties or of major damage. Earthquakes that are close to the surface generally cause more destruction.


Comment: Update 27 May 2019

They're very fortunate that just one person has been killed, according to reports so far anyway.

Some more video footage of the damage caused by this mega-quake:

Rare twin tornadoes snapped in the Scottish highlands

Dave Barrett spotted the rare phenomenon in the hills north of Kirriemuir
The spectacular sight of a twin twister in the Angus glens has been captured by a keen Courier country hillwalker.

Dundee's Dave Barrett was out in the hills north of Kirriemuir this week when the unusual natural phenomenon unfolded in front of him.

He quickly grabbed a picture of the two funnels in the low cloud conditions.

Meteorological experts say a single waterspout is not an out of the ordinary occurrence in the UK, but the sight of two so close together is a rarity.

Comment: Mainstream science still doesn't really know what exact conditions are required for wind vortexes to form, and it's becoming increasingly evident from the rise in these unusual occurrences that their theories are sorely lacking: Also check out SOTT radio's Behind the Headlines: Earth changes in an electric universe: Is climate change really man-made? and SOTT's monthly documentary SOTT Earth Changes Summary - April 2019: Extreme Weather, Planetary Upheaval, Meteor Fireballs:

Major die-off of Common Murres under way along the Mendocino Coast, California - over 300 found dead or dying

Starting on Wednesday, May 22, hundreds of Common Murres, an ocean-going bird native to the Pacific Coast from the Channel Islands to the tip of the Aleutians in Alaska, have been reported washed up dead or dying on beaches along a 10-mile stretch of coastline in Mendocino County between Noyo Bay and Seaside Beach.

Local wildlife observers say it's too early to tell what is causing the die-off.

The Common Murre looks a little like a penguin, but is more closely related to terns or gulls. It spends most of its time in the water. Murres can and do fly, but like penguins, they maneuver best in the water. Normally, the likelihood of a casual beachgoer seeing one ashore is slim.

Floodwaters from the Arkansas River inundate homes Thursday May 23, 2019 in Sand Springs, Oklahoma.
Flooding has affected hundreds of homes in rain-weary Oklahoma, an official said, and more severe weather is possible Friday and Saturday in the Sooner State.

Officials believe floods have had an impact on at least 1,000 homes in some way, especially in northeastern Oklahoma around the swollen Arkansas River, state Department of Emergency Management spokeswoman Keli Cain said.

Flood watches and warnings were in effect Friday for large portions of northern Oklahoma. By the afternoon, Gov. Kevin Stitt had amended an earlier executive order to declare a state of emergency in all 77 counties across the state due to the severe weather.

An inflection point has been reached with respect to the collapse of modern agriculture as we enter the Grand Solar Minimum and the climate changes -- and the system is responding by clamping down on truth.

As the US experiences its worst planting on record, China is facing a one-two punch from African Swine Fever and Armyworm. Food prices are rising.

Canada officially reports a 14-year high of arctic sea ice levels.

Will ASF come to US, and inspire forced vaccines for livestock?

Apart from UP, lower output is seen in key growing areas of Gujarat, Maharashtra also
Growers fear up to 70% crop loss due to cold weather

Faced with climatic adversities and competition from neighbouring countries, India is set to lose the export market for its famed mangoes.

Mango production in the main growing regions of Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and South India is likely to to be hit due to uneven weather.

Weather vagaries

Production in Uttar Pradesh is likely to be down by about 70 per cent compared to last year, because of the cold and moist weather during the flowering stage.

Adapt 2030 Ice Age Report: Corporate media confused: More ice, less ice, more rain, less rain

Milwaukee Harbor along the lakefront.

Heavy winter snow and ice finally melts into Lake Michigan along the Milwaukee Harbor along the lakefront.
In 2017 "Climate Experts" had irrefutable proof that the Great Lakes would continue an evaporation decline spiral due to climate change, but today we are at 100 year high water marks with all of the great lakes about to set the highest water marks ever set. We also see the same "this place is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world" headlines coming out of the same Great Lakes. When will the corporate media begin asking hard questions why so many bad predictions didn't pan out?

Dead gray whale found near Kalaloch, Washington is 24th on Pacific NW coast this year

GRAY WHALE
Olympic National Park said a decomposing gray whale washed ashore Friday morning north of Kalaloch Campground. That makes the 24th dead whale stranding in Oregon and Washington this year during the northbound migration.

A common thread runs through the necropsies on the spate of dead gray whales washing up on West Coast beaches this spring, according to Cascadia Research Collective senior research biologist John Calambokidis. He said the perished whales appeared skinny, malnourished or even emaciated. The big unknown is why these whales didn't fatten up enough on their feeding grounds last year to get through the migration.

Calambokidis said he is reasonably confident the starving whales can be attributed to an increasing gray whale population intersecting with a downturn in their prey.
