"We warned at the start of ZetaTalk, in 1995, that unpredictable 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 Arctic regions, with the violence of storms increasing in number and ferocity."

Chicago Snowfall: City About To Break A 72-Year-Old Weather Record

It's already been a mild winter of record-shattering proportions in Chicago -- and the weather records keep falling in the city.

Unless at least an inch of snow falls yet Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, AccuWeather reports that the city will beat a record, dating back to 1940, for the longest stretch of consecutive days without an inch of the whit... falling to the ground: 319. Such snowfall is not in the forecast amid nearly spring-like temperatures arriving in the area.

Adding further insult to injury, at least for those Chicagoans who enjoy snow, the city has still only logged a grand total of just 1.3 inches of snowfall through the entire winter to this point, 0.4 of which fell Saturday, pushing the city past one inch of snowfall for the season on nearly the latest date on record since 1866.

As the RedEye points out, some unlikely cities have surpassed Chicago's paltry snowfall total this year, including El Paso, Texas (3.1 inches), Amarillo, Texas (2.1 inches) and Oklahoma City, Okla. (1.4 inches).

Still, winter is far from over and the average snowfall for a Chicago winter is 38 inches: the Chicago Weather Center notes that a blast of frigid air is forecast to come down from central Canada on Friday, at which point the Windy City could begin to make up some snowy ground.

Snow disaster affects 770,000 people in N China (Jan 6)

Thirty-year record-low temperatures and a snow disaster have left two people dead and affected 770,000 others in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, local authorities said Sunday.

Snow has fallen on 917,000 square kilometers, or 78 percent, of Inner Mongolia, with 82,000 square km buried in snow at least 25-centimeters deep, according to the regional meteorological authority.

More than 3,700 residents have been relocated and 260,000 others are in need of emergency aid, sources with the region's civil affairs department said.

By Jan. 4, snow had left about 180,000 head of livestock dead, with direct economic loss estimated at 690 million yuan (110 million U.S. dollars).

Civil affairs authorities have earmarked disaster relief funds that will be allocated to those affected by adverse weather conditions ahead of the Spring Festival, which falls on Feb. 10 this year.

China's Coldest Winter in Decades at New Low

China is experiencing unusual chills this winter with its national average temperature hitting the lowest in 28 years, and snow and ice have closed highways, canceled flights, stranded tourists and knocked out power in several provinces.

China Meteorological Administration on Friday said the national average was -3.8 degrees Celsius (25 degrees Fahrenheit) since late November, the coldest in nearly three decades.

The average temperature in northeast China dipped to -15.3 degrees C (4.5 degrees F), the coldest in 43 years, and dropped to a 42-year low of -7.4 degrees C (18.7 degrees F) in northern China.

Worst drought in decades hits Brazil's Northeast

Ueslei Marcelino / Reuters

Farmers from the Brazilian northeast carry out a demonstration holding cattle skulls in front of the Planalto Palace in Brasilia Dec. 4, 2012. The protesters are demanding the cancellation of their debts and help from the government to alleviate the effects of the drought that rages over the region this year.

By Reuters

Brazil's Northeast is suffering its worst drought in decades, threatening hydro-power supplies in an area prone to blackouts and potentially slowing economic growth in one of the country's emerging agricultural frontiers.

Lack of rain has hurt corn and cotton crops, left cattle and goats to starve to death in dry pastures and wiped some 30 percent off sugar cane production in the region responsible for 10 percent of Brazil's cane output.

Thousands of subsistence farmers have seen their livelihoods wither away in recent months as animal carcasses lie abandoned in some areas that have seen almost no rain in two years.

"We are experiencing the worst drought in 50 years, with consequences that could be compared to a violent earthquake," Eduardo Salles, agriculture secretary in the northeastern state of Bahia, said in an emailed statement.

Heavy Snow Blankets Northern Mexico, West Texas (Jan 3)
Snow blankets Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, on January 3, 2013. The same winter weather system forced the closure of Interstate 10 in El Paso, Texas, just across the border from Juarez.

Blizzard conditions hampered efforts early Friday to reopen large sections of Interstate 10 in west Texas that were closed following crashes.

Portions of a 240-mile stretch of the interstate were closed in both directions from El Paso to Fort Stockton city Thursday evening, said Veronica Beyer, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Transportation.

She urged motorists to "avoid" the area.

The interstate will likely remain closed through the morning hours because of a "truck wreck and blizzard conditions," Beyer said.

Heavy snow also caused the closure of U.S. Highway 62/180, also from east of El Paso west to the New Mexico state line.

The National Weather Service predicted that some mountain areas in west Texas could see up to 8 inches of snow by midday Friday.

The snow storm caused the closure of some schools, stores and government buildings in the El Paso area Thursday, CNN affiliate KTSM said.

"The weather has had an impact on our flights today. We have seen cancellations and also many delays," Liz Bellegarde, a spokeswoman at El Paso International Airport, told KTSM.

LUCKNOW, India (AP) — Police say more than 100 people have died of exposure as northern India deals with historically cold temperatures.

Police spokesman Surendra Srivastava said Thursday that at least 114 people have died from the cold in the state of Uttar Pradesh. At least 23 of those died in the past 24 hours.

Srivastava said many of the dead were poor people whose bodies were found on sidewalks or in parks.

The weather department said temperatures in the state were 4 to 10 degrees Celsius (7 to 18 degrees Fahrenheit) below normal.

Temperatures in New Delhi, which borders Uttar Pradesh, hit a high Wednesday of 9.8 degrees (49.6 Fahrenheit), the lowest maximum temperature in the capital since 1969.

Usually a harbinger of Spring, daffodils are blooming 2 months early in the U.K. (Dec 25)

The Christmas Daffodil?

Keen gardener said that the flowers are his earliest blooms yet.

While most of the UK continues to be deluged by rain - the early signs of spring have already made an appearance in one Devon town.

Keen gardener Brian Rickard saw the first daffodils in his Plymouth, Devon, flowerbeds bloom in time for Christmas.

The bright yellow flower made an appearance despite the town enduring 128.8mm of rain already in December - surpassing its monthly average for this time of year of 118.8mm.

Looking good: Although Mr Rickard usually sees his daffodils flower in December, he says that this is the earliest they have ever made an appearance

Although Mr Rickard usually sees his daffodils flower in December, he says that this is the earliest they have ever made an appearance.

Mr Rickard said: 'They have been out since December 15. Everybody who goes past is amazed.

'We always seem to have the first out. People are always saying "how on earth do you do it?".

'We don’t do anything at all. We just planted them and left them. I think it is because we are in a sheltered valley.

He added: 'These are in the front garden, which is south facing so it’s a bit warmer.'

Brian, 73, a retired university technician, said neither he, nor his wife Mary, knew what variety the bulbs were.

'I haven’t a clue,' he said.

'It’s team work. Mary does the weeding and I do the planting and digging.

'It does cheer you up, seeing daffodils at Christmas.'

Although normally planted in Autumn, daffodils develop their roots over several months before flowering in the spring.

Mr Rickard's daffodils were not the only ones to flower two months early.

More daffodils were spotted in Westward Ho!, Devon.

Record Number of Christmas Tornadoes, Blizzards Tear Through U.S. (Dec 25)
The National Weather Service said there were a record 34 tornadoes reported in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama on Tuesday.

A state of emergency was declared in Mississippi, where homes, roads and businesses were damaged in at least nine counties. Eight people were injured but expected to survive, officials said.

A tornado watch was issued Wednesday for the eastern Carolinas until 5:00 p.m. ET.

At one point late Tuesday, holiday celebrations went dark for at least 150,000 customers in Alabama; electricity had been restored to all but 8,500 by the next morning, according to Alabama Power.

The worst of the tornadoes hit Tuesday afternoon in Mobile, Ala.  Along with brutal, straight-line winds, the storms knocked down countless trees, blew the roofs off homes and left many Christmas celebrations in the dark. Torrential rains drenched the region and several places saw flash flooding.

Rick Cauley, who was hosting relatives for Christmas, got everyone in the house to a shelter at the high school down the block.

"As luck would have it, that's where the tornado hit," Cauley told The Associated Press. "The pressure dropped and the ears started popping and it got crazy for a second."

Mobile Press-Register reporter John Sharp wrote that he hunkered down in his bathtub in the fetal position while the power flickered off and the twister roared around his building.

When he walked outside, he was stunned. The roof of a small shopping center had caved in, and several cars in a restaurant parking lot were destroyed.

“Visibly, it was like a bomb has gone off at The Loop,” he wrote. “A one-way street sign was literally sawed into half. The Dauphin Island Parkway/Airport Boulevard sign was flattened. Power lines were lying on the ground.

Mobile’s Trinity Episcopal Church lost a large section of its roof and a wall, but officials were looking on the bright side. Hours before the tornado touched down, there were 500 people in the church for Christmas Eve services.

Blizzard Conditions Across 8 States

At least eight states were issued blizzard warnings, as the storms made highways dangerously slick heading into one of the busiest travel days of the year.  The death toll rose to six with car accidents on snow and sleet-slickened highways in Arkansas and Oklahoma.

Indianapolis had 7 inches on the ground by 10 a.m. after receiving as much as 3 inches of snow in a single hour making it one of the strongest snowstorms in years to strike central and southern Indiana.

Ice accumulation in Arkansas bent trees and power lines, leaving at least 50,000 customers across the state without power. About 10 inches of snow fell on Fayetteville, Ark.

Fifty-two Indiana counties have travel restrictions in place during the blizzard.

Motorists were stranded Wednesday morning on State Road 37 southbound at the Monroe-Morgan county line.

Indiana State police say slick, snow-covered road conditions on an incline in the area stalled 40 to 50 cars.  An Indiana Department of Transportation truck tried to clear the area, but ended up in a ditch.

All roads, including SR37, SR46 and SR45 in the Bloomington District remain snow covered, slick and extremely hazzardous. Some areas are down to one lane and some remain impassable.   

More than 100 Indiana National Guard soldiers and airmen have been activated Wednesday to assist the citizens and communities of Indiana, Indiana State Police troopers and local authorities throughout the state under the direction of Indiana Department of Homeland Security.

National Guard personnel will deploy 10 Highway Assistance Teams, consisting of a total of 40 personnel, that will augment emergency personnel with the evacuation of stranded motorists and shut-ins.

Additionally, six Armory Support Packages, consisting of a total of 24 personnel, have been initiated to provide life support and vehicle staging operations to emergency personnel during IDHS operations.

More than 900 flights around the U.S. were canceled as of Wednesday midday, according to the flight tracker FlightAware.com. The cancelations were mostly spread around airports that had been or soon would be in the path of the storm.
