The prediction I made on Coast last week about the NE US blizzard was correct.
It is about at the intensity I expected, as well. As long as the jet stream remains unstable, there will continue to be fierce weather across the whole northern hemisphere. The greatest danger is not snow and cold, not yet, although we are obviously receiving a foretaste. The greatest danger is extraordinary heat in the summer, and next summer could be a rough one.

Earth is really shaking right now.
The USGS live seismographs are showing a lot of shaking worldwide. Most of it is low-level, but it is unusual for so many seismographs to be reporting shaking at the same time. There have been a number of incidents like this in the past few months. Current data is here. (This is being posted at 8AM Dec 25 2010, so if you look at the link later, it might show a more settled situation.) To see a video that shows the data as it appeared on December 21, click here. In 2010, there have so far been 24 earthquakes registering 7.0 or more on the Richter Scale. In an average year, there are 15.

It’s snowing in midsummer in Australia. As if it was snowing in July in Chicago.
I wish I had known this when I was on Coast last night. It is eerily reminiscent of Superstorm.
