Around 430 passengers in Niigata Prefecture were forced to spend the night on a packed four-car train after it got stranded Thursday evening by heavy snow along the Sea of Japan coast.

According to rescue workers, five passengers — a man in his 40s and four women in their teens and 20s — were found unwell when they arrived, and the man was taken to a hospital. The train, which was bound for Nagaoka from Niigata, resumed service Friday morning about 15 hours after getting stuck.

More than half of the passengers on the train on the East Japan Railway Co. (JR East) Shinetsu Line were evacuated earlier in the morning, with families arriving to pick them up by car.

While JR East said the train's interior lights and heating worked properly, it only had one bathroom and the toilet paper ran out, passengers said. Some said they took turns using the seats to relieve passengers who were standing.

Record snowfall creates snow tunnel on road in French Alps

Digital Journal
Thu, 11 Jan 2018 21:11 UTC

Avalanches and record snow fall in the French Alps have buried some roads, leading to the creation of treacherous ice tunnels which drivers have to navigate on their way up or down the mountains.

Footage from Bonneval-sur-Arc, near the Val d'Isere ski resort, showed a front-end loader carving a path through packed snow that had swamped a local route.

The snow-clearing effort on Wednesday created a wall of ice on both sides of the road around six metres (20 feet) high and just wide enough for one vehicle at a time to pass through.

As predicted in the grand solar minimum there will be food shortages. The forecast was for the shortages to begin in more impoverished nations as these areas people spend up to 50% of their wages on food. Even slight increases will have an effect, now in Sudan protesters killed over high grain and bread prices. France sees its second once in a 200 year flood in 2 years, Swiss snowmageddon as 13K+ tourists are trapped in 9 feet of snow. We are indeed repeating patterns. New type of cloud classifies geoengineering as a cloud type. Look up.

Extreme cold gripped South Korea on Thursday (Jan 11) - with a wind chill of minus 16 deg C in Seoul in the morning - and it is forecast to reach its peak on Friday, according to the country's weather agency.

Thursday's temperatures across the country hovered around minus 10 deg C in general, marking the coldest temperature this year.

Runways at Jeju Airport were closed earlier in the day due to heavy snowfall, suspending international flights until 11am, according to the Korea Airports Corp.

The country's power use soared in the morning amid a spike in heating demand, prompting Korea Power Exchange to order local companies to cut their power use as part of efforts to stabilise the level of electricity reserve.

12 dead as normally balmy Bangladesh shivers in record low temperatures

© Xinhua/Naim-ul-karimA man squats by a fire during a winter morning in Dhaka, capital of Bangladesh, Jan. 9, 2018. Bangladesh Monday recorded the lowest temperature in five decades as mercury dipped to a chilling 2.6 degrees Celsius. According to local media, as many as 12 people have so far died in three northern Bangladesh districts due to the cold spell.

Temperatures in subtropical Bangladesh hit a 70-year-low today as authorities handed out tens of thousands of blankets to help the poor fight a record cold spell, officials said.

The mercury plunged to a frigid 2.6 degrees Celsius (36.7 degrees Fahrenheit) in some parts of Bangladesh, well below average in the low-lying riverine nation whose 160 million citizens are used to milder winters.

"It is the lowest temperature since authorities started keeping records in 1948," Shamsuddin Ahmed, head of the Bangladesh Meteorological Department, told AFP. The previous low of 2.8 degrees was recorded in 1968, he added.

Ahmed said Bangladesh was in the "grip of a severe cold wave", with temperatures dipping across all northern districts over the past few days.

The coldest temperatures were recorded in the border town of Tetulia, about 400 kilometres north of the capital Dhaka.

One local broadcaster reported that at least nine people had died from exposure, including six in one of the coldest locations in the northern district of Kurigram.

Officials said they were not aware of any deaths so far.

Wet dream of climate dictators: Climate skeptics to be exiled to 'international convict settlements'

Tony Thomas has unearthed a ten year old document that reads like a wet dream for mini-climate dictators. It envisages, by 2028, that the first climate skeptics will be convicted of denying the existence of climate change and exiled to three penal colonies in, wait for it, Kerguelen Island, South Georgia and New Zealand's South Island. Magically, these are "International convict settlements." So it's globalist prisons for the deplorables who say unpermitted things, because they are so bad, we wouldn't want them mixing with normal criminals back home who believe in climate change but rort the carbon markets.

Luckily their fantasy fiction is even less accurate than climate models. By 2030 they are tipping Africa as an economic powerhouse:

2030 ... the global economy today is less dominated by the big three of China, India and the US. Instead, economic blocs such as the African Union, the Latin American Trade Council and the Alliance of Turkic States have emerged as powerful players on the scene.

As Tony Thomas points out they also estimated oil would rise from $150 in 2008 to $400 by 2022. So far it has risen all the way to $60. They also predicted a global depression in 2009-18. Instead we got "Dow Record highs ". I guess they didn't see Donald Trump coming either.

Florida sea turtles weren't the only ones impacted by last week's cold snap.

In Texas, more than 2,000 turtles were cold stunned, which breaks all state records. Many of the turtles have been brought to Texas A&M University in addition to NOAA Fisheries Galveston Laboratory Sea Turtle Hospital.

While the situation is more dramatic in Texas, the Panhandle is experiencing its second largest cold stun event. More than 850 cold-stunned turtles have been taken in for treatment at Gulf World Marine Institute after temperatures dropped in the bays.

"Once-in-a-generation" snowstorms prompt authorities to maintain high alerts in three departments

Once-in-a-generation snowstorms in the Alps, some of which are expected to see up to 2m of snow fall have prompted authorities to issue repeated avalanche warnings.

The snowfall has been so intense that national forecaster Météo France, which described the conditions as 'a 30-year-event', placed the Savoie on red avalanche alert - its highest warning level - late on Monday afternoon.

Record sea ice off the coast between New York City and Massachusetts is blamed on a few hundred thousand square kilometers of sea ice missing around the edges of the 30 year average, interestingly, the area where the new record sea ice formed, isn't in the NSIDC sea ice maps as it doesn't get ice normally. A direct connection to disease outbreaks and grand solar minimums through 4000 years of time, just discovered connection between noctilucent clouds and temperatures in the N. Hemisphere through electromagnetic tele-connections.
