Northeast Forecast To Get Big Winter Blast

Three days ago, we asked: Is A Major Winter Blast Coming To The East Coast This Christmas? Despite all the chatter from global warming alarmists this year, there is a chance, some in the Northeast could experience a white Christmas.



Ed Vallee, a private weather forecaster based in Connecticut, reports merging storms will spread snow, rain, and mixed conditions from the central Appalachians to New England. The system will start on Sunday night and continue into Monday. Snow totals are forecasted to bring 2-8″ for parts of the Northeast (shown below). 



Vallee discusses the risks associated with the storm, along with more details into the timing of this system.



AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson, confirms Vallee’s forecast and said, there will be “enough snow to shovel and plow is likely from western and northern Pennsylvania and southern Ontario to Maine, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.”



Here are the highways that could be heavily impacted by the storm include Interstate 70, I-76, I-78, I-80, I-81, I-84, I-86, I-87, I-88, I-89, I-90, I-91, I-93, I-95, and I-390. AccuWeather’s team expects delays at airports in Pittsburgh, New York City, and Boston.


Also, the National Weather Service has issued a deluge of winter weather advisories and warnings for the Northeast (as of 12-24).



The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) provides an animated Gif depicting the trajectory of the system with the different types of precipitation probabilities.



 


Accuweather sheds more color on the storm:




From just north and east of Philadelphia to New York City, Providence, Rhode Island, and New Bedford, Massachusetts, just enough snow may fall to cover the ground, just in time for a White Christmas.


 


Farther south and west from Atlantic City, New Jersey to Baltimore and Salisbury, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., little or no snow is likely. Little or no rain may fall as well due to a gap in the storm.




Winter weather for the Northeast comes at no surprise considering the La Niña reading on the Oceanic Niño Index (ONI). La Niña conditions formed last month, indicating the Northern Hemisphere could be due for an abundance of winter weather (See: She’s Back! La Niña Is Here For The Second Consecutive Year).



BAMWX.com notes, the pattern is about to change in a huge way and it may begin on Christmas eve! Accumulating snow is on the table between Dec 24th-Jan 5th in a big way.



Obviously, if the winter blast does erupt, it is a perfect excuse for lagging spending, despite consumer sentiment at lofty levels.



Let’s just hope, the weather models above are as bad as Dennis Gartman’s market forecasts.

She"s Back! La Niña Is Here For The Second Consecutive Year

For the second consecutive time in two years, La Niña (translated from Spanish as “little girl”) is back and she means business. New data from Climate.gov indicates La Niña conditions have formed just in time for winter weather in the Northern Hemisphere.


On Thursday, the Climate Prediction Center confirmed La Niña after analyzing October ocean temperatures cooling along the equatorial eastern and central Pacific Ocean. La Niña is often declared when sea surface temperatures in the region (just stated) decline by 0.5 degrees Celsius.



John Morales‏, Chief Meteorologist WTVJ NBC-6 Miami, shows the progression of cool water over the equatorial Pacific Ocean responsible for La Niña formation.



The cooler waters have an influence on atmospheric conditions by decreasing evaporation in the tropics, which is a major driver of global weather.



According to the Weather Channel,




A typical La Niña winter in the U.S. brings cold and snow to the Northwest and unusually dry conditions to most of the southern tier of the U.S., according to the prediction center.


 


The Southeast and Mid-Atlantic also tend to see warmer-than-average temperatures during a La Niña winter. New England and the Upper Midwest into New York tend to see colder-than-average temperatures.





Climate Prediction Center /NCEP/NWS Full Report: La Niña conditions are predicted to continue (~65-75% chance) at least through the Northern Hemisphere winter 2017-18.




During October, weak La Niña conditions emerged as reflected by below-average sea surface temperatures (SSTs) across most of the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean [Fig. 1]. The weekly Niño indices were variable during the month, with values near -0.5° C during the past week in the Niño-3.4 and Niño-3 regions [Fig. 2]. Sub-surface temperatures remained below average during October [Fig. 3], reflecting the anomalously shallow depth of the thermocline across the central and eastern Pacific [Fig. 4]. Also, convection was suppressed near the International Date Line and slightly enhanced over parts of the Maritime Continent and the Philippines [Fig. 5]. Over the equatorial Pacific Ocean, low-level trade winds were mainly near average, but the upper-level winds were strongly anomalously westerly and the Southern Oscillation Index was positive. Overall, the ocean and atmosphere system reflects the onset of La Niña conditions.


 


For the remainder of the Northern Hemisphere fall and winter 2017-18, a weak La Niña is favored in the model averages of the IRI/CPC plume [Fig. 6] and also in the North American Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME) [Fig. 7]. The consensus of forecasters is for the event to continue through approximately February-April 2018. In summary, La Niña conditions are predicted to continue (~65-75% chance) at least through the Northern Hemisphere winter (click CPC/IRI consensus forecast for the chance of each outcome for each 3-month period).


 


La Niña is likely to affect temperature and precipitation across the United States during the upcoming months (the 3-month seasonal temperature and precipitation outlooks will be updated on Thursday November 16th). The outlooks generally favor above-average temperatures and below-median precipitation across the southern tier of the United States, and below-average temperatures and above-median precipitation across the northern tier of the United States.




La Niña weather phenomenon easily explained:



Ben Noll, Meteorologist, National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research of New Zealand, compares the equatorial sea-surface temperatures in 2016 and 2017. His findings indicate 2017 waters “not as large farther west” when compared with 2016. Basically he validates NOAA’s “weaker La Niña” claim...



NOAA’s winter weather outlook indicates normal participation for the mid-tier of the United States. The southern-tier is forecasted to see much drier conditions. Meanwhile, the Great Lakes region and Northwest of the United States appear to have much wetter conditions.



Temperature outlooks for this winter include at-least 2/3 of the United States well above average. Below average to normal in regions, such as the Great Lakes region and Northwest.



Bottomline: What do weather forecasters and Dennis Gartman both have in common?... Well you guessed it– terrible forecasting...

Research Team Slams Global Warming Data In New Report: "Not Reality... Totally Inconsistent With Credible Temperature Data"

Authored by Mac Slavo via SHTFplan.com,



As world leaders, namely in the European Union, attack President Trump for pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement which would have saddled Americans with billions upon billions of dollars in debt and economic losses, a new bombshell report that analyzed Global Average Surface Temperature (GAST) data produced by NASA, the NOAA and HADLEY proves the President was right on target with his refusal to be a part of the new initiative.


According to the report, which has been peer reviewed by administrators, scientists and researchers from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.), and several of America’s leading universities, the data is completely bunk:





In this research report, the most important surface data adjustment issues are identified and past changes in the previously reported historical data are quantified. It was found that each new version of GAST has nearly always exhibited a steeper warming linear trend over its entire history. And, it was nearly always accomplished by systematically removing the previously existing cyclical temperature pattern. This was true for all three entities providing GAST data measurement, NOAA, NASA and Hadley CRU.



As a result, this research sought to validate the current estimates of GAST using the best available relevant data. This included the best documented and understood data sets from the U.S. and elsewhere as well as global data from satellites that provide far more extensive global coverage and are not contaminated by bad siting and urbanization impacts. Satellite data integrity also benefits from having cross checks with Balloon data.



The conclusive findings of this research are that the three GAST data sets are not a valid representation of reality. In fact, the magnitude of their historical data adjustments, that removed their cyclical temperature patterns, are totally inconsistent with published and credible U.S. and other temperature data. Thus, it is impossible to conclude from the three published GAST data sets that recent years have been the warmest ever –despite current claims of record setting warming.



Finally, since GAST data set validity is a necessary condition for EPA’s GHG/CO2 Endangerment Finding, it too is invalidated by these research findings. (Full Abstract Report)



Of course, this won’t stop global climate normalcy deniers from saying it’s all one big conspiracy to destroy the earth. They’ll naturally argue that data adjustments to the temperatures need to be made for a variety of reasons, which is something the report doesn’t dispute. What it does show, however, is that these “adjustments” always prove to be to the upside. Always warmer, never cooler:





While the notion that some “adjustments” to historical data might need to be made is not challenged, logically it would be expected that such historical temperature data adjustments would sometimes raise these temperatures, and sometimes lower them. This situation would mean that the impact of such adjustments on the temperature trend line slope is uncertain. However, each new version of GAST has nearly always exhibited a steeper warming linear trend over its entire history.



In short: The evidence has been falsified.


Karl Denninger sums it up succinctly:





It is therefore quite-clear that the data has been intentionally tampered with.



Since this has formed the basis for plans to steal literal trillions of dollars and has already resulted in the forced extraction of hundreds of billions in aggregate for motorists and industry this quite-clearly constitutes the largest economic fraud ever perpetrated in the world.



I call for the indictment and prosecution of every person and organization involved, asset-stripping all of them to their literal underwear.



The real data looks something like this:

(Via ZeroHedge.com)


And the establishment, along with their fanatical global warming myrmidons, continue to push the need for massive, costly initiatives to reduce green house gases and global temperatures to “normal” levels.


The problem, of course, is that there is no global warming according to the above referenced report.


Moreover, none of those supporting the Paris Climate Agreement and other initiatives have any idea what these behemoth regulations will actually do to curb climate change, as evidenced by the following video of Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine, who despite his best efforts, can’t seem to figure out exactly how these agreements actually lower temperatures and help Americans:

Trump Goes Off Script: Withdraws US from Paris Climate Accord

Trump Goes Off Script: Withdraws US from Paris Climate Accord | paris-climate-accord | Environment Politics Special Interests Trump World News In a blow for NWO plans for a worldwide carbon tax, Trump has gone off script (from a globalist point of view) & withdrawn the US from the Paris Climate Accord.

Trump has withdrawn the US from the Paris Climate Accord in what can be considered as majorly going off script (from the point of view of the globalists / New World Order conspirators). Of course, for Trump supporters, the president is keeping on script with his campaign promises. This is good albeit somewhat rare, given that in his first 4 months as president, Trump has done some significant flip flopping, reversing his position on many key issues since assuming office. Despite some of the atrocious recent moves by Trump – cutting weapon deals with the terrorist-funding and citizen-beheading fake royal Saudis, as well as sucking up to the Zionists in Israel – credit must be given where credit is due. Trump has seen through the manmade or anthropogenic global warming (AGW) hoax, which is the basis for the worldwide carbon tax agenda, and has followed through on his word to not be a part of the deception any longer. The Paris Climate Accord will now be lacking any real substance without the signature of the most powerful nation in the world, the USA.

AGW is Based on Falsities, Fallacies and Insanities


At this point, it’s important to briefly recall that AGW is not only based on cherry-picked data, cooked books and fake numbers, but also on utterly crazy and false ideas. Proponents of manmade global warming want you to believe that carbon dioxide (CO2) – the molecule of life for all plant life on this planet – is actually an unwanted pollutant. They want to classify the very air you breath out as some sort of toxin that needs to be regulated, despite the very provable fact that higher levels of CO2 mean more abundant growth of plants – a fact well known to greenhouse farmers.


The irony is that the more plant life we have, of course, the better the flowdown effect on the environment – the very thing that AGW supporters claim they are protecting and standing up for.



Yes, humans are polluting the world in horrible ways, but this has nothing to do with carbon dioxide, and everything to do with the synthetic chemicals, petrochemical drugs, crude oil, plastics and other horrible stuff that we are dumping into the world – not to mention the incessant geoengineering programs which spray aluminum, strontium, barium and God knows what else on unsuspecting people below as though they were mere bugs.


NWO Dream of Worldwide Carbon Tax Suffers Setback


You can be sure the Bilderbergers, locked away from the eyes and ears of the world in their plush hotel in Chantilly, Virginia, will be discussing how to get the carbon tax agenda back on track. The carbon tax, for those who don’t know, is the brainchild of the Rothchilds, Rockefellers and other NWO criminals who have been working on the idea since at least the 1980s as a pretext with which to bring in a One World Government.


You can read more about the background to the carbon tax in my earlier article Good Hearts, Fooled Minds: Top 4 Fallacies of the Hijacked Environmental Movement, but basically, the agenda arose out of 2 conspiracy reports/documents from The Iron Mountain and The Club of Rome. The 1966 Report from the Iron Mountain made the case for exaggerating an environmental threat so as to justify world global governance:






“It may be, for instance, that gross pollution of the environment can eventually replace the possibility of mass destruction by nuclear weapons as the principal apparent threat to the survival of the species. Poisoning of the air, and of the principal sources of food and water supply, is already well advanced, and at first glance would seem promising in this respect; it constitutes a threat that can be dealt with only through social organization and political power.”






Meanwhile, The Club of Rome’s 1991 document The First Global Revolution? hatched the plan of justifying a World Government so as to protect humanity from itself:



“In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill. In their totality and their interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which must be confronted by everyone together … all these dangers are caused by human intervention in natural processes, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then is humanity itself.”



The Club of Rome is part of a key group of 6 interlocking societies known as the Round Table, which was first led by imperialist Cecil Rhodes. The Round Table includes the Bilderberg Group (widely considered to be at the apex), the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations), the RIIA (Royal Institute of International Affairs), the Club of Rome, the Trilateral Commission and the United Nations.


To reiterate, the carbon tax is the key plank of their NWO manifesto. Without the US involved, there is little chance of it becoming truly global. It is surely not too much to imagine that many key Bilderbergers must be fuming at Trump’s withdrawal and plotting on how to bring him back into line.


Reactions to the Trump Withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord


Trump’s decision has already met with a lot of disappointment, criticism and condemnation from many politicians, including European leaders and even the mayor of Pittsburgh, Bill Peduto. Trump had said in his speech announcing the withdrawal that he represented the people of Pittsburgh, not Paris. Peduto wrote on his Twitter account:

Trump also lost the support of another billionaire – Elon Musk, founder of Tesla – who wrote on Twitter that he is “departing presidential councils”:

The Indoor ‘Egyptian Secret’ That Grows Vegetables 30 Percent Faster

The Indoor ‘Egyptian Secret’ That Grows Vegetables 30 Percent Faster

When you live in a climate that experiences changes in climate, you know that there’s a limited time of year where you can successfully garden. By using hydroponic technology, you can grow a garden in the winter — and you can do it without soil. Hydroponics is an indoor gardening system that is completely soil-free and can be kept year-round. With this system you can grow pretty much any type of plant you’d like, as the only limitation is the amount of space you have in your home.


What Is A Hydroponic Garden?


Have you ever put a part of a plant clipping into a glass of water and watch it develop roots? This is, essentially, hydroponic gardening. Plants get nutrients from soil normally, but with this type of gardening the nutrients are dissolved into water or another nutrient solution rich with minerals. Depending on the system you have set up, the plants even may grow better than in a soil-based garden.


This technique for growing plants is not new and was actually used by ancient Egyptians many years ago.


How Does It Work?

These systems work by using nutrients dissolved into water (or another mineral-rich solution) using mediums like expanded clay pebbles, gravel or mineral wool. Plants are grown with their roots in the solution while the plant itself is supported above the solution.


As long as the plant receives the nutrients it needs to grow, the soil really isn’t needed. This type of gardening allows for plants to grow in greenhouses or entire buildings dedicated to agriculture – or in your basement. Since, for some avid gardeners, space or environment might be the biggest roadblock to successful outdoor gardening, this system allows for everyone to garden year-round regardless of how much space they have.


Getting Started


Setting up a hydroponic system is not a small task, and it requires a consistently dedicated space within your home. While this type of gardening might be intriguing to you, you might find yourself asking whether it’s worth it to go through all of this when so many people can successfully garden the regular way with soil.

The biggest, and probably most obvious, benefit to this type of gardening is that it allows you to grow plants where regular agriculture just isn’t possible, such as in urban centers or northern climates where farmland isn’t plentiful or fresh produce isn’t readily available due to environmental factors.


Aquaponics: The Secret To Growing More Food Than You Can Eat


The second benefit from these kinds of system is for the environment. Studies have shown that hydroponics uses approximately 10 percent of the amount of water that its soil-based equivalents do. And since these systems do not require any kind of pesticide, there aren’t any chemicals or other damaging agents released into the air.


Finally – and for some gardeners most significantly – plants grow faster and produce a greater yield through hydroponics. When set up right, hydroponics plants will grow about 30-50 percent faster than ones planted in a soil-based garden.


There is more than one kind of hydroponic system, and which one you select will depend on what is right for you. The kinds of systems you can set up are:


  • Wick systems

  • Aeroponics

  • Drip systems

  • Nutrient film technique

  • Ebb and flow systems

Story continues below video




 


Hydroponic systems are flexible and can be created on a large or small scale to fit your space and budget. Even better, most of the equipment needed to start a hydroponics system can be purchased from gardening centers or home improvement stores, so you don’t need to place special orders or have everything shipped to you.
