The summit district of Haleakalā National Park, Maui was closed on Feb. 3 and 4 due to rare wintry conditions and inches of snow, reports mauinow.com.

Rangers urged the public not to travel to the park, and closed both the road and entrance gate — locals were not permitted to see the snow or ice.

Backcountry skiing proved to be a deadly activity for multiple people in the U.S. this week whose lives were taken in separate avalanches.

The body of a skier who had been missing for days was found underneath more than a dozen feet of snow Wednesday evening on a trail near Mount Washington in New Hampshire, the state's Fish and Game Department said in a statement.

In Colorado, three skiers died in an avalanche earlier in the week in an area called Mineral Creek near Silverton. They were publicly identified by the county and town of Eagle as Seth Bossung, Andy Jessen and Adam Palmer.

Blizzard Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories effect from Iowa to the Great Lakes regions. "If you don't need to travel, please stay put," warns the NWS.

Blizzard warnings and temperatures 10-30 degrees below normal, and our government is foolishly fighting 'global warming'?
______________

A strong cold front moving across the central U.S. today will bring areas of freezing rain, snow, and strong winds to the Midwest through the Great Lakes, says the National Weather Service. Blizzard conditions are expected for north-central Iowa.

A major Arctic outbreak will filter into the central and eastern U.S. in the wake of this front with temperatures 10-30 degrees below normal from the northern Plains to the Mid-South.

Winter Storm Impacting the Midwest and Great Lakes.

Heavy snow for the U.P. of Michigan and western Lower Michigan into Saturday.

Historic Arctic blasts are about to engulf North America, Europe and Asia simultaneously: Grand Solar Minimum

According to the satellites, the global lower troposphere cooled rapidly during the past two months (Dec + Jan). Mid-latitude cooling is only intensifying-further during February as record-breaking polar blasts are about to descend into North America, Europe, and Asia simultaneously:

Low solar activity is weakening the jet streams, reverting their usual tight ZONAL flows to unusually wavy MERIDIONAL ones. This reduction in energy is effectively "buckling" those bands of fast-flowing air, with the upshot (in the NH) being the transportation of tropical warmth anomalously-far north, and, conversely, the sinking of polar cold unusually-far south.

North America

Following the record cold and snow that recently buffeted the Northeast, Midwest, and West, North America is now on course for something widespread truly historic.

U.S. coast to coast record-setting storm

Destructive mudslides, feet of snow, wind and waves collapsing houses along the shoreline — all part of a powerful storm system that brought impacts coast to coast to close out the first month of the year.

We start in California with a tale of two different types of precipitation. While it was much needed moisture for the Golden State, it also brought hazards for days from the mountains to the beaches. Some cities picked up more than a foot of rain, leading to flooding and mudslides. This prompted evacuations and even rescue missions in Monterey County.

At the same time, mountain snow in the Sierras began coming down at a very fast rate, with final storm totals between six to nine feet. The snow engulfed towns, snarled traffic, and even stranded those brave enough to be out on the roads. From there, the storm system tracked toward the Midwest, with snow amounts measuring more than a foot in some locations from Milwaukee to Chicago to Northwest Indiana.

Deep snow covers the summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on Friday. A Winter Storm Warning was in effect.

Mauna Kea (maunakea) is a volcanic mountain. Its peak is 4,207.3 m above sea level, making it the highest point in the state of Hawaiʻi.

Most of the volcano is underwater, and when measured from its underwater base, Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world, measuring 10,211 m in height.

During the past two months, Earth has cooled, rapidly.

The Version 6.0 Global Average Lower Tropospheric Temperature (LT) Anomaly for January, 2021 has come out at just +0.12 deg. C above the baseline, down 0.03 deg. C from the December, 2020 value of +0.15 deg. C.

[NOTE: Dr Roy Spencer and Dr John Christy - who update the chart at the beginning of every month - have changed the 30-year averaging period used to compute anomalies from 1981-2010 to 1991-2020. They stress, "this change does not affect the temperature trends."]

Since 1979, NOAA satellites have been carrying instruments which measure the natural microwave thermal emissions from oxygen in the atmosphere.

Massive snow fall across Scotland left a four-by-four covered up to its roof in the white stuff.

The country has been battered by bad weather with more set to come this week.

A stunning picture from the Cawdor estate near Nairn in the Highlands shows the snow up to roof level of the Toyota Hilux.

There has been another fatal avalanche in Switzerland taking the death toll to 17 this season. Overall in the Alps it is now more than 50 - already half the annual average. In the latest incident 1 person has died & police said others may be buried under the snow, but no other victims have been found so far. It follows 4 deaths in the Tirol over the weekend.

It is one of the most dangerous periods in recent years across the Alps.

There have been more than 50 deaths so far this winter and it comes as many resorts are closed.

Extreme caution is urged across many parts of the Alps.

In the latest incident a 31-year old snowboarder has died and it was feared others may still be buried under avalanche debris in the La Fouly ski area that is above Orsieres near Verbier in the Valais Canton.
