"We warned at the start of ZetaTalk, in 1995, thatunpredictable weather extremes, switching about from drought to deluge,would occur and increase on a lineal basis up until the pole shift. Where this occurred steadily, it has only recently become undeniable. ZetaTalk, and only ZetaTalk, warned of these weather changes, at that early date. Our early warnings spoke to the issue of global heating from the core outward, hardly Global Warming, a surface or atmospheric issue, but caused by consternation in the core. Affected by the approach of Planet X, which was by then starting to zoom rapidly toward the inner solar system for its periodic passage, the core was churning, melting the permafrost and glaciers and riling up volcanoes. When the passage did not occur as expected in 2003 because Planet X had stalled in the inner solar system, we explained the increasing weather irregularities in the context of the global wobble that had ensued - weather wobbles where the Earth is suddenly forced under air masses, churning them. This evolved by 2005 into a looping jet stream, loops breaking away and turning like a tornado to affect the air masses underneath. Meanwhile, on Planet Earth, droughts had become more intractable and deluges positively frightening, temperature swings bringing snow in summer in the tropics and searing heat in Artic regions, with the violence of storms increasing in number and ferocity."
The wobble seems to have changed, as the temperature in Europe suddenly plunged after being like an early Spring, Alaska has its coldest temps ever while the US and much of Canada is having an extremely mild winter. India went from fatal cold spell to balmy again. Has the Earth changed position vs a vs Planet X to cause this?[and from another]Bitter cold records broken in Alaska - all time coldest record nearly broken, but Murphy's Law intervenes[Jan 30]http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/01/30/bitter-cold-records-broken-in-alaskaJim River, AK closed in on the all time record coldest temperature of -80°F set in 1971, which is not only the Alaska all-time record, but the record for the entire United States. Unfortunately, it seems the battery died in the weather station just at the critical moment. While the continental USA has a mild winter and has set a number of high temperature records in the last week and pundits ponder whether they will be blaming the dreaded "global warming" for those temperatures, Alaska and Canada have been suffering through some of the coldest temperatures on record during the last week.
There has been no change in the wobble pattern, the wobble has merely become more severe. Nancy noted a Figure 8 format when the Earth wobble first became noticeable, in early 2005, after Planet X moved into the inner solar system at the end of 2003. The Figure 8 shifted along to the east a bit on the globe between 2005 and 2009, (the last time Nancy took its measure) as Planet X came closer to the Earth, encountering the magnetic N Pole with a violent push earlier in the day. But the pattern of the Figure 8 remained essentially the same. So what changed recently that the weather patterns became noticeably different in late January, 2012?
The N Pole is pushed away when it comes over the horizon, when the noon Sun is centered over the Pacific. This regularly puts Alaska under colder air, with less sunlight, and thus the historically low temps there this January, 2012 as the wobble has gotten stronger. But by the time the Sun is positioned over India, the N Pole has swung during the Figure 8 so the globe tilts, and this tilt is visible in the weather maps from Asia. The tilt has forced the globe under the hot air closer to the Equator, warming the land along a discernable tilt demarcation line.
The next loop of the Figure 8 swings the globe so that the N Pole moves in the other direction, putting the globe again at a tilt but this time in the other direction. This tilt is discernable in weather maps of Europe, again along a diagonal line. Depending upon air pressure and temperature differences, the weather on either side of this diagonal line may be suddenly warm or suddenly cold. The tilt and diagonal line lingers to affect much of the US and Canada, but the Figure 8 changes at this point to be an up and down motion, pulling the geographic N Pole south so the US is experiencing a warmer than expected winter under a stronger Sun. Then the cycle repeats, with the magnetic N Pole of Earth pushed violently away again as the Sun is positioned over the Pacific.
Would the Zetas be able to let us know what is causing the early break-up of the Arctic Ice, the ice seems to have taken on a swirling pattern at the same time, would this be wobble related?[and from another]http://www.vancouversun.com/news/national/Canada+Arctic+cracks+spec... The ice in Canada’s western Arctic ripped open in a massive “fracturing event” this spring that spread like a wave across 1,000 kilometres of the Beaufort Sea. Huge leads of water – some more than 500 kilometres long and as much as 70 kilometres across – opened up from Alaska to Canada’s Arctic islands as the massive ice sheet cracked as it was pushed around by strong winds and currents. It took just seven days for the fractures to progress across the entire area from west to east.[and from another]http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=80752&src=iot... A high-pressure weather system was parked over the region, producing warmer temperatures and winds that flowed in a southwesterly direction. That fueled the Beaufort Gyre, a wind-driven ocean current that flows clockwise. The gyre was the key force pulling pieces of ice west past Point Barrow, the northern nub of Alaska that protrudes into the Beaufort Sea.
The Figure 8 formed by the N Pole during the daily Earth wobble has shifted somewhat to the East, due to Planet X positioned more to the right of the Earth during its approach. This was anticipated, and well described in ZetaTalk, the Earth crowding to the left in the cup to escape the approach of Planet X, so the angle between these two planets would change slightly. This shift of the Figure 8 to the East is due to the push against the Earth’s magnetic N Pole occurring sooner each day than prior. Thus instead of occurring when the Sun is high over the Pacific, over New Zealand, it is now occurring when the Sun is high over Alaska. All the wobble points have shifted eastward accordingly.
This has brought a lingering Winter to the western US, and a changed sloshing pattern to the Arctic waters. Instead of Pacific waters being pushed through the Bering Straits into the Arctic when the polar push occurs, the wobble is swinging the Arctic to the right, and then later to the left, creating a circular motion in the waters trapped in the Arctic. Since the Earth rotates counterclockwise, the motion also takes this path. This is yet another piece of evidence that the establishment is hard pressed to explain. They are attempting to ascribe this to high pressure and wind, all of which are not new to the Arctic, but this circular early breakup of ice in the Arctic is new.
Alaska Storm Among Strongest Non-Tropical Cyclones on Record (Dec 13)
A very intense storm that battered Alaska's Aleutian Islands this weekend had an estimated atmospheric pressure among the lowest on record for the northern Pacific. Given its extreme intensity, the area of low pressure made for an extraordinary sight on satellite imagery as illustrated above.
The lowest barometric pressure in the storm was estimated to be 924 millibars at 9 p.m. Alaska time on Saturday night, or 1 a.m. EDT Sunday, according to an analysis done by NOAA's Ocean Prediction Center. That ties a Bering Sea storm in November of last year that also had a lowest estimated pressure of 924 millibars.
Interestingly, last year's storm formed partially from the remnants of Super Typhoon Nuri, while the storm this weekend did not develop from a former typhoon or tropical storm.
Those pressure readings were estimated based on surface observations and buoys in the area, so the official record lowest pressure for the north Pacific remains 925 millibars. That was measured in a similar storm on October 25, 1977 on a ship docked at Dutch Harbor, Alaska. Two other storms have produced directly-measured pressures lower than 929.8 millibars over the extratropical North Pacific.
In this storm, the lowest pressure directly observed at a fixed airport-based observation site was 27.73 inches, or 938.9 millibars. This measurement came from the Adak Airport on Adak Island in the western Aleutians at 6:16 p.m. local time Saturday.
In general, a lower atmospheric pressure correlates with a more intense low pressure system. For reference, the lowest central pressure of Hurricane Andrew (1992) was 922 millibars. Despite the potential of a similar pressure at its peak, wind speeds in non-tropical cyclones such as the Bering Sea storm are much lower than hurricanes, because the pressure gradient is spread out over a much larger area than in a hurricane.
Late Saturday night and early Sunday, the storm produced some ferocious winds in the Aleutian Islands. At Adak, sustained winds reached 94 mph with gusts topping out at 122 mph. Those winds occurred within a 3-hour, 40-minute period of uninterrupted hurricane-force sustained winds of 74 mph or greater between 8:16 p.m. and 11:56 p.m. Saturday.
Wave heights of up to 40 feet were measured at one buoy in the Bering Sea as a result of the powerful winds.
The storm was weakening on Monday morning while spinning over the Bering Sea. However, its pressure was still very low. NOAA estimated its central pressure at 950 millibars as of 3 a.m. Alaska time.
Winter tornadoes touch down in East Texas damaging 50 homes and injuring two
The unexpected tornadoes touched down Saturday afternoon in Lindale, with no warning
At least 50 homes, around 90 miles southeast of Dallas, were damaged
The mayor declared a city-wide emergency and 'declaration of disaster'
One witness said: 'On the movie Twister where they had the two tunnels come through, they twirled around each other, that's what it looked like'
No one has yet been reported to have been killed
Rare December tornadoes surprised East Texas on Saturday afternoon, damaging 50 homes, destroying a bridge and injuring two people.
At least one tornado, probably two, touched down around 4pm in Lindale, about 90 miles southeast of Dallas, according to KETK.
The mayor has issued a declaration of disaster for the city.
'We saw these clouds and these little tornadoes that were shooting down and then one hit the ground. We saw it hit the ground, witness Melissa Malone told the outlet. 'From there we called 911 and immediately alerted them and the sirens started going off.'
Residents of Lindale, Texas took cell phone video of a tornado touching down on Saturday afternoon - above, Ryan Alexander posted a video to Facebook of the freak winter storm
Eyewitness Autum Green spotted the twisters forming on Iron Mountain Road in Lindale and captured them with her cell phone.
'It was kind of cool watching it build up, but I was really scared,' Green said, adding that she normally gets weather alerts, but none came with the tornado.
'On the movie Twister where they had the two tunnels come through, they twirled around each other, that's what it looked like,' she said.
The National Weather Service did not send out warnings and people in Lindale were caught completely unawares, reports the outlet.
A tornado, or possibly two, touched down unexpectedly in East Texas on Saturday afternoon
Floods still affecting Ireland as river levels rise again
Parts of Ireland experienced more heavy flooding on December 12, 2015 after more heavy rain battered the country. At the same time, water levels of the Shannon river system are still rising and are expected to peak over the next few days, the National Emergency Coordination Group reported.
Abundant amount of precipitation over the weekend of December 12, triggered floods in the counties of Sligo, Leitrim and Dublin area, while parts of western Ireland, in the Shannon river basin suffered the worst hit. Local media reported heavy flooding in the Corbally area of the Limerick city and parts of Athlone on the night of December 12 (local time).
The level of water flow from the Shannon river is expected to increase to 440 cubic meters per second (15 538 cubic feet per second) over the coming days, and lead to increased risk of flooding the roads and grounds of Springfield, Montpelier, Castleconnel, Mountshannon, Lisnagry and the University of Limerick.
14 homes, a secondary school and numerous cars have been overflown in the Corbally area, and the main road passage from Co. Clare into Limerick was left under water. The road has been opened to traffic, following the initial flooding, however, numerous roads in the Castleconnel area have remained closed. Homes in the Richmond Park and the area of Ardscoil Mhuire secondary school reported flooding, as well.
Over 400 homes have been cutoff the power supplies, according to the local media. Residents between Chapelizod and Islandbridge in Dublin area were urged to remove their vehicles from underground parking spots and other low-lying areas last night.

Christmas Forecast: climate unrecognizable, it seems Easter Monday with sun and warm [MAPS] - ITALY
14 December 2015
Christmas Forecast: farewell from the authentic atmosphere of the winter holiday season, the weather will remain mild and sunny throughout much of Italy
ou know the typical Christmas atmosphere, the hushed in white snow, wrapped in the freezing winter cold and decked with lights, colors and festoons in tune with typical scenarios of Alaska or Lapland? Well, forget quickly about all this because this year, for the umpteenth time (now more and more often) throughout Italy and in much of Europe will be a Christmas from spring weather, with lots of sunshine and temperatures far higher than the average for the period. It seems almost Easter Monday, with ideal weather conditions for all types of outdoor activities.
The anomalous anticyclone that by the end of October (with the exception of the brief period of the end of November) occupies the Euro-Mediterranean region will persist at least until Christmas, and probably beyond, as we can see in the images accompanying the article.
but the temperatures are far superior compared to the average of the period and even though for some there may be a feeling that cold face, in fact the climate is insanely warmer than normal for the season, as evidenced by the maps and data on thermal anomalies.
he most worrying aspect is that in Russia and in Siberia are really monstrous act positive anomalies (see map opposite), and it is from there that should - in theory - get the cold at this time. It 'impossible to say even now that winter is compromise: there is January, February and also in March when we will have numerous cold waves and snow, but for the moment the situation is exactly the opposite of the winter season and there' It is not even a shadow.
The anticyclone will insist for a long time resulting in high temperatures: the scenery of the Alps is bleak, there is no snow in places.
The images that come from Livigno are scandalous, with a little 'of artificial snow to allow skiers to practice winter sports, but in the coming days the temperature will rise further and probably also the artificial snow will melt and will not spararne other

Those looking to get in to the holiday spirit are receiving no help from Mother Nature, with temperatures in the eastern United States fitting better with April and Easter than Christmas.
Highs in the 70s were seen as far north as New Jersey, with other Northeastern and Midwestern cities breaking records on consecutive days with unseasonably warm temperatures in the 60s.
Dozens of cities east of the Mississippi broke or threatened daily temperatures records on Sunday, with more record highs expected as warm air continues to move eastward during the beginning of the week.

A snowstorm is beginning to bring winter precipitation to the interior West in states such as Utah and Colorado, which will eventually cause above average temperatures to sink slightly
Temperatures in New York City reached 67 degrees on Sunday, above the previous record of 64 set in 1923.
It was 23 degrees above the average for December 13, 44, which was also the temperature exactly one year ago.
Toledo, Ohio, Milwaukee and Cedar Rapids, Iowa had also all broken records by noon.
More than 70 of 235 weather-monitoring locations in the Lower 48 states were expected to threaten highs, according to Weather.com, with more than 40 thought to do so on Monday despite rain heading towards the East Coast.
The beginning of the week will also see much the East Coast experience temperatures roughly 30 degrees higher than normal.
New York, Detroit, Cleveland and Trenton, New Jersey, set records on Saturday, continuing a run that had seen previous marks beaten everywhere from Oregon to Ontario in the past week.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Centers for Environmental Information said that 2.6 percent of the daily high temperature reports it received for the first 10 days of December have broken records for warmth.
Buffalo, New York, normally sees more than a foot of snow by mid December, but broke a record for lack of snow earlier this month after failing to record at least a tenth of an inch for the longest time in 116 years.
Last year the city saw five feet of snow as early as November, with the precipitation helped on by the lake effect from Lake Erie causing at least 14 deaths.
No snow is expected for at least another week, according to CNN.
Oregon declares state of emergency in 13 counties due to winter storms
Oregon Governor Kate Brown declared a state of emergency in 13 counties late Thursday after days of extreme winds and rainfall caused flooding and landslides in the northwestern part of the state.
The affected counties include: Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook, Washington, and Yamhill.
The declaration allows the counties to apply for state funding to repair damage, in addition to providing them with emergency response personnel that can respond to communities if local resources are stretched too thin.
A series of powerful storms and record rainfall have slammed the state since Monday, causing widespread flooding that has closed roads from Portland to the coast. At least two storm-related deaths have been confirmed by officials.
"Heavy rains and wind have required the evacuation of residences, and mudslides and high water have severely damaged or blocked major roadways in these areas of the state,” Governor Brown said in a statement. "The emergency declaration ensures state resources, emergency response personnel, and equipment can be activated to respond to communities in need if their local resources are exhausted."
The deluge set a daily record in Portland, which saw 2.75 inches of rain on Monday alone, CNN affiliate KOIN said.
The storms also brought lightning strikes, and an F1-rating twister that reached maximum wind speeds of 15 miles an hour.
The state of emergency will remain in effect until the governor’s office lifts it.
Flash floods hit parts of S’pore for second day in a row

Flash flood along Thomson Road, opposite Thomson Medical Centre on Dec...
SINGAPORE — For a second day in a row, roads clogged up with traffic after heavy downpours triggered flash floods in several parts across the island this afternoon (Dec 11).
Flash floods were reported in areas at Thomson Road, Balestier Road, Cambridge Road and at several junctions, including Mandalay Road/Balestier Road and Boon Keng Road/Bendemeer Road, although these cleared up by 2.50pm, according to national water agency PUB’s Twitter posts.
On social media, users posted pictures of ankle-deep waters at bus stops, and traffic congestion on flooded roads. A tree came crashing down outside Orchard Central while parts of Junction 8 shopping mall in Bishan were flooded.
PUB’s director of catchment and waterways Ridzuan Ismail said the heaviest rainfall was recorded at Beatty Secondary School’s rain gauge station, with 80.4mm of rain falling from 1.05pm to 2.45pm. The bulk of the rain beat down in the first 30 minutes of the skies opening up.
PUB said it is investigating the flooding incidents but Mr Ismail said certain locations are more prone to flooding as they are situated in low-lying areas or have localised depressions, citing the examples of Cambridge Road and Thomson Road.
The junctions at Mandalay Road/Balestier Road, Boon Keng Road/Bendemeer Road and Boon Lay Way/Corporation Road are also “known hotspots”, he added.
Mr Ismail said drainage upgrading works in areas like Novena Rise/Thomson Road and Balestier Road/Mandalay Road are set to be completed by the third quarter of next year and the second quarter of 2017, respectively.
Drainage upgrading works at the junctions of Boon Lay Way/Corporation Road and Boon Keng Road/Bendeemer Road have been planned to start in the first quarter next year.
According to information posted on the National Environment Agency’s website, thundery showers in the afternoons and evenings are forecast for the next four days.
PUB advised the public to exercise caution as flash floods may occur in the event of heavy storms.
2 deaths, many rescues in Pacific Northwest storms
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Torrential rains pummeled parts of the Pacific Northwest early Wednesday causing mudslides and flooding roads, leaving two women dead in Oregon and sweeping seven people into a Washington river, where they were rescued.
A large Douglas fir tree crashed into a Portland home early Wednesday, killing a 60-year-old woman who was in bed.
The tree, roughly 30 inches in diameter, was uprooted and sliced through the house, pinning the woman underneath.

Next door neighbor Sam Choumxay said he watched in horror as the tree fell onto his neighbor's house with a thud. The tree top slammed into two cars in Choumxay's driveway.
Choumxay said he ran outside, made it around the tree, and raced to his neighbors' front door.
"Is anybody hurt? Is anybody hurt? I just kept calling to them," he said.
On Wednesday afternoon, a woman drowned after her car became submerged on a flooded road about 60 miles northwest of Portland in Clatskanie, Oregon, The Oregonian reported.
Firefighters rescued a man they found standing on top of a car in knee-to-waist deep water. They said the man drove himself and the woman into high water where the road was closed near U.S. Highway 30 and Lost Creek Road. The car then sank.
Responders found the woman dead at the scene.
More than 5 inches of rain have fallen on Portland since Sunday, and strong winds have uprooted trees from the saturated ground. At Sea-Tac Airport, where the official weather for Seattle is recorded, the weather service says 2.13 inches of rain fell Tuesday. That beats the previous Dec. 8 record of 1.61 inches.
In western Washington, seven people were swept into the Puyallup River from a riverbank homeless camp Wednesday morning.
Dramatic moment residents in flooded town form a HUMAN CHAIN to rescue people trapped in the local shop as burst river swamped community

George Osborne has announced additional £51million to support households and businesses affected by flooding
The Mail has launched an appeal to help those affected by the floods. Click here to donate or see information below
Displaying bravery and fortitude to save their own, villagers in a tiny Cumbrian community have told of the dramatic moment they formed a human chain to rescue several people trapped by rapidly rising floodwater.
Glenridding's 500 residents are used to a sleepy, laid-back existence, but the community was again forced to take drastic action last night after being hit by a second wave of destruction when a nearby river burst its banks.
It sent raging torrents filled with trees, rocks and other debris racing through the village - the sheer speed of which caught some people unawares.
Several villagers were trapped in the local shop, sparking a desperate rescue attempt by their neighbours.
Mark Hook, 57, who was himself saved on Saturday from the guest house he owns in the village, told MailOnline how residents immediately sprang into action.
He said: 'There were people [trapped] in the mini-mart so locals got together with the emergency services to help them out. At one point there was a human chain – it was quite dramatic. They wouldn’t have got out of there without help.
This picture was taken seconds after residents in Glenridding formed a human chain to rescue several people trapped by rapidly rising floodwater. Emergency rescuers arrived to help and after installing a rope were able to guide the rest of those stuck in the shop to safety
Earth movers attempt to stem the tide of flood water this morning as Glenridding is swamped by flash floods for the second time in a week

10 million people facing food shortages as drought grips Ethiopia
Drought still grips much of the productive agricultural land across eastern Australia thanks to the El Nino, but the same weather system is affecting millions of people around the world and it could have deadly ramifications, especially in Africa.
The purpose of this article is not to take away from Australians doing it tough, especially in western and northern parts of Queensland, where some of my family live.
Rather, it is to highlight the fact that drought affects people in many different ways.
The Ethiopian government is not particularly fond of pointing out flaws inside its own borders, so it is a big step for the country to admit that more than 10 million people will require food in the coming months.
That is 10 per cent of the population.
As always in slow burn natural disasters like this one. Women and children will be worst affected.
The charity Save the Children estimates that 5.75 million children will face critical food shortages.
"People are becoming very dependent on assistance from the government and humanitarian agencies," said Charlie Mason, humanitarian director for Save the Children in Ethiopia.
"The government has been extremely proactive and forward thinking in trying to future roof the food pipeline — but there is only so much food that can be procured on the international market and brought in — so aid agencies are also rushing to try to fill that gap."
The 'worst drought' in Ethiopia for 50 years
The famine that gripped Ethiopia during the mid-1980s is well known.
It is thought about 400,000 people lost their lives either through direct starvation, or abuses that occurred because of the country's then insurgency.
While the government is far better equipped to deal with the disaster now, there are warning signs that the current climatic situation is even worse.
"The worst drought in Ethiopia for 50 years is happening right now," said Save the Children's country director in Ethiopia, John Graham.
"The overall emergency response is estimated to cost $1.4 billion, so the world leaders meeting at the Paris climate talks this week must take the opportunity to wake up and act before it's too late."
Other agencies like the World Food Program are working to feed people as well.
It should be remembered that there are hundreds of thousands of refugees in Ethiopia, many from neighbouring South Sudan, where conflict has torn apart the youngest nation on earth.
Others come from Somalia and Eritrea, also neighbours and respectively home to and Islamist terrorists and an authoritarian government.
More than 125 million will need assistance to survive 2016: UN
Right across southern and eastern Africa, El Nino is responsible for a series of droughts.
For many, there are two rainy seasons a year and neither have delivered.
In South Africa, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Botswana and Somalia not enough rain has fallen to sustain the herds of cattle and goats that sustain so many people.
If people are forced to flee in an effort to find enough to eat the world will learn about food refugees.
"El Nino has led to central America's worst ever recorded drought and Ethiopia's worst drought in 30 years," said the United Nations under-secretary-general for Humanitarian Affairs, Stephen O'Brien.
"Natural disasters are also expected to worsen next year, linked to the El Nino climatic event which is estimated to be the strongest on record."
The United Nations estimates that across the globe more than 125 million people will need humanitarian assistance to survive 2016 — about 8 per cent are Ethiopians.
The government has asked for $US1.4 billion to feed its population, but the global figure is much higher.
"We need $US20.1 billion to do so," Mr O'Brien said.
"This amount is five times the level of funding we needed a decade ago and this is the largest appeal we have ever launched."
