Strap yourself down - a puzzle you never knew existed has finally been solved!

Nov 16, 2017: Scientists Solve 22 Million-Year-Old Climate Puzzle -"Paleoclimate Events Can Predict Earth's Future"

Solved yesterday, settled today! That's a rapid fire consensus... (they actually use the word "settled" in the title of the paper)

Study Settles prehistoric puzzle, confirms modern link of carbon dioxide and global warming

Finally poor Miocene researchers can sigh with relief as the first study in years shows what they *knew* was the right answer and now they can issue press releases, rest their weary minds, and stop trying to think of excuses as to why their results didn't fit with The Climate Model Testaments.

Who knew there were large discrepancies and carbon dioxide did not fit the temperature theory for a million years or so? Not the public.

Where were the press releases?

Research Shows A High Temperature World Had Nothing To Do With CO2

Study shows temperatures fell dramatically, CO2 stayed the same

Study shows models have no freaking clue what controls the climate

Exactly, never.

Jackson Hole is reporting 100″ of "record" snow and nearby Grand Targhee is already up to 105″ for the season.

Near-record early season snowfall hits mountains; Olympics at 500% typical snowpack. SEATTLE — The snow is falling and ski resorts are opening. That's par for the course in a Pacific Northwest November. But the amount of snow we're seeing this early in the year is almost unprecedented. According to a snow-depth information report released Wednesday by the Northwest Avalanche Center, most area passes are seeing well-above average snowfall for this time of the year.

Colorado resorts haven't been able to buy a flake of snow but it's been a different story to our north.

Jackson Hole is reporting 100″ of "record" snow and nearby Grand Targhee is already up to 105″ for the season.

Heavy snow has been reported at ski resorts all across the Pacific Northwest over the past few weeks thanks to a parade of storms on a persistent jet stream.

It's a weather pattern that is very common during La Niña, which was declared active by meteorologists at NOAA earlier this month.

Almost 3 feet of snow has fallen over the past 48 hours in the Sierra Nevada mountains in a storm expected to dump heavy rain on the Midwest and Northeast at the start of next week.

As the storm moves through the Rockies and into the western plains, watches and warnings have been extended from California to Oklahoma and up into the northern plains.

The storm system is moving out of California on Friday and moving through the Rockies with heavy snow expected.

Unusual almost summer snows in NSW Australia along with "gigantic hail" as it was described. This is expected in a grand solar minimum where extremes in heat and cold effect crop production, we saw this in the USA over the last week as well. Record cold in Boston and New York breaking records back to 1903. Interestingly the record cold in NYC article never listed the temperatures that were broken.

24.2 cms fell, beating the previous November record for one-day snowfall

It's a winter wonderland in Yellowknife Wednesday, as the city cleans up after 24.2 centimetres of snow fell on Tuesday — a record breaking amount.

Dan Kulak, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, says Tuesday's system was the most snow that has fallen in one day in Yellowknife in the month of November.

And, it might just be the most snowfall in one day ever recorded in the city.

"A fair amount of snow happened in that one day there," Kulak said.

"The observer at the Yellowknife airport did record over 24 centimetres of snow in the calendar day. That, at this point in time, does look like it is a new record."

The road to the resort is currently closed but is expected to be open later Thursday afternoon. "Around Tiffindell, the highest five passes in South Africa are also currently closed," Vermeulen said.

Snow Report SA said it is expecting heavy falls in Lesotho and the Eastern Cape Drakensberg today, but only medium to light falls on the KZN Drakensberg, with a small possibly of snow settling in towns like Underberg and Himeville, and some flurries in the KZN Midlands which were unlikely to settle. There was little likely hood of snow on Van Reenen's Pass. Snow Report SA said light snow fell in at Clarens, in the Free State. and in Mooi River.

A conga line of powerful winter storms parading off the Pacific Ocean over the past several weeks has dumped a huge amount of early-season snow on the Cascades and Northern Rockies, allowing many ski resorts to open weeks ahead of schedule.

Skiers and snowboarders at Bridger Bowl in southwest Montana were stoked to hear that the lifts will be spinning Thanksgiving weekend for the first time since the 2010-2011 season.

Big Sky resort, also in southwest Montana, is cashing in on the early-season snows as well. "Lone Mountain looks incredible right now," said Chelsi Moy, public relations manager. "Big Sky has received 76 inches so far this preseason and crews are putting final touches on the mountain. Things are shaping up nicely for a great opening day on November 23rd."
