August snowfall in Himachal Pradesh, India points to the possibility of early winter

snow India
The parts of upper Himachal have received several spells of snowfall paved way for early onset of the winter season this year.

While everything is normal in lower parts of Himachal, the upper parts are witnessing frequent spells of fresh snowfall which is not normal in August. Rohtang pass and Baralacha pass have received fresh snow two times this month.

The snowfall even affected the traffic at Baralacha pass, even the parts of Lahaul-Spiti district, including district headquarter Keylong, experienced rare snowfall on August 18 that flattened pea crop in some areas.

The peaks of Pir-Panjal and Dhauladhar ranges have received snow multiple times this month. Although most of the snow melted away very fast, it has triggered a sudden dip in the temperature at high altitude areas. The snow covered green patches on the peaks. Himachal agriculture minister too had said that unexpected snowfall in August had damaged pea crop at some parts of Lahaul-Spiti.

Shiveluch volcano eruption

Largest eruption in more than a decade occurred in Russia on the Kamchatka Peninsula with Shiveluch pushing ash to 70,000+ feet. This will for sure have a regional cooling effect along the latitudes along 50-60N and at the same time the Canadian SIPS put out the long rage forecast for a blocking high that will deflect cold Arctic air all winter south over N. America, Asia, and Europe. This is it, the feedback loop is in full play. Coldest in two centuries on our door step as we step down further into the Grand Solar Minimum.

Winter is Coming Cycles of Change Presentation: A comprehensive PDF slide presentation with accompanying MP3 narration of the slides by David DuByne, author of Climate Revolution. Over an hour of detailed explanation and documentation of the rapidly approaching periods of life-changing cold we will soon experience and how it will reduce global crop yields leading to a prolonged economic contraction.

Climate Revolution: A 'Must Read' for understanding our Sun driven climate as we progress deeper into the new Eddy Grand Solar Minimum. Weather extremes leading to Global food scarcity and high food prices are here now, and this book describes the expected changes, how to survive & thrive during future challenging times with practical preparations.

"Freezing, frigid, and frosty" are the exact terms used to describe the upcoming season, especially for areas east of the Rockies all the way to the Appalachians.

No Rest for the Winter Weary

"We expect yet another wild ride this winter," shares Pete Geiger, Philom., Editor, "with extreme temperatures swings and some hefty snowfalls."

Look at the video. This is NOT hail.

24 Aug 2019 - Video was taken this morning (Saturday) in the Eastern Black Sea Youth Camp in the Düzköy district of Trabzon, Turkey.

The August snowfall surprised and amazed residents. Some were shocked.


Comment: We think Ice Age Now called this one wrong. It sounds like hail in the video. However, it's snowing in August all over the world

Climate fraud justice: Dr Tim Ball defeats Michael Mann's climate lawsuit!

Michael Mann Climate Criminal

Supreme Court of British Columbia dismisses Dr Michael Mann's defamation lawsuit versus Canadian skeptic climatologist, Dr Tim Ball. Full legal costs are awarded to Dr Ball, the defendant in the case.


The Canadian court issued it's final ruling in favor of the Dismissal motion that was filed in May 2019 by Dr Tim Ball's libel lawyers.

The plaintiff Mann's "hockey stick" graph, first published in 1998, was featured prominently in the U.N. 2001 climate report. The graph showed an "unprecedented" spike in global average temperature in the 20th Century after about 500 years of stability.

Skeptics have long claimed Mann's graph was fraudulent.

On Friday morning (August 23, 2019) Dr Ball sent an email to WUWT revealing:

More than normal ice coverage in Northern Hemisphere

"This graph from Environment Canada clearly shows that some ice has not melted yet," says reader Ole Jensen. "Was wondering where it might be. And there have to be more patches somewhere on the N.H."

"Eyeballing, the graph says a min. of 15 cu. km. (3.6 cubic miles) is still out there, somewhere."

"Looks to be more than normal."

It's hard to envision one cubic mile of ice, much less 3.6 cubic miles. That's one mile wide, one mile long, and one mile tall - more than four times the height of the Empire State building.
