A model of the Sun's magnetic activity suggests the River Thames may freeze over within two decades, experts say.

A mini ice age that would freeze major rivers could hit Britain in less than two decades, according to research from universities in the UK and Russia.

A mathematical model of the Sun's magnetic activity suggests temperatures could start dropping here from 2021, with the potential for winter skating on the River Thames by 2030.

A team led by maths professor Valentina Zharkova at Northumbria University built on work from Moscow to predict the movements of two magnetic waves produced by the Sun.

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.

US: Christmas brings Northeast blizzard, bitter cold in Midwest

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.

Heavy snow has fallen on Mauna Kea, and more is expected as a Winter Storm Warning remains in effect for Hawaii Island summits.

The Mauna Kea Access Road remains closed at the Visitor Information Station, rangers say.
"Plan on difficult travel conditions," the National Weather Service stated this morning. "Additional snow accumulations of 6 to 10 inches, with localized amounts up to 12 inches, are expected."

Mauna Kea already appears to be buried, according to the view from the observatory webcams that are not iced-over.

Record snowfall for Calgary, Canada

Road conditions worsen in Calgary
As much as 31 centimetres of snow fell across Calgary since Tuesday afternoon, creating commuter headaches and leaving roads and sidewalks dangerously icy.

Data released by Environment Canada indicate southern portions of the city bore the heaviest brunt of the storm, receiving almost twice as much snow as Calgary's northern areas before it tapered off late Wednesday morning.

The storm also broke the day's previous snowfall record of 11.7 cm set in 1953.

Calgary's snowfall was part of a larger system that blanketed much of southwestern Alberta in snow, with the hamlet of Beaver Mines west of Pincher Creek getting as much as 60 cm of precipitation.
