"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.

New world record: Scientists certify monster Atlantic wave 62 feet tall
Enormous waves crash into the Cornish coast on Feb. 5, 2014, during one of the most brutal storms on record for the United Kingdom. (Matt Clark/U.K. Met Office)
16 December, 2016. Can you imagine coming face-to-face with a wave six stories tall?
In February 2013, a buoy in the North Atlantic measured a towering 62-foot (19 meters) wave between Iceland and the United Kingdom.
In an announcement Tuesday, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) concluded it was “the highest significant wave height” ever recorded by a buoy, surpassing the previous highest wave, measured at 59.96 feet in December 2007, also in the North Atlantic.
The giant wave formed in the wake of a powerful cold front charging across the Atlantic. Winds gusted to 50 mph.
“This is the first time we have ever measured a wave of 19 meters. It is a remarkable record,” said Wenjian Zhang, assistant secretary general of the WMO.
Wave height is defined as the distance between crest (or top) of one wave and the trough (or bottom) of the next.
The WMO explained the world’s biggest waves typically occur in the North Atlantic in winter as storms explosively intensify. “The area from the Grand Banks underwater plateaus off the Canadian coast around Newfoundland to south of Iceland and to the west coast of the UK, including the Rockall Trough, are prime candidates for wave records,” it said.
USA Today reported that larger waves have probably occurred than this 62-foot behemoth, but they have not been measured.
It’s also worth noting that this new record for “significant wave height” reflects the average height in a series of large waves. Individual “rogue” waves, which are difficult to accurately measure, can be much higher. For example, during the October 1991 “Perfect Storm” off the East Coast of North America, a buoy 264 miles south-southeast of Halifax, Canada reported a peak wave height of 100 feet, according to Environment Canada.
The record for the highest wave ever surfed is a massive 78 feet (23 meters) at Nazare, Portugal, according to CNN.
The lag between the WMO announcement of the record wave and its occurrence on Feb. 4, 2013, resulted from the time needed to analyze and verify the data. Source: washingtonpost.com

Weather, spectacular images of the fog in Madrid: a rare phenomenon [GALLERY] - SPAIN
The fog in Madrid is not a frequent phenomenon here is the spectacular images coming from the Spanish capital, which lives today yet another day wrapped in a white cloak
Arriving from Madrid spectacular photographs taken aboard a helicopter, showing the skyscrapers of the financial city, located in the north of the city, rise above a mist bed. The rest of the city looks completely covered by a white blanket of fog.
Madrid, Spain's capital, woke up this morning wrapped in a thick fog. It happened yesterday, with related problems to city streets and delays for domestic and international flights arriving and departing from the airport Madrid Barajas. It is not a frequent phenomenon for this city, which because of its geographical position is not usual to fog phenomena as prolonged. The anticyclone that persists for several days on a spagn however, has created ideal conditions for the formation of mists at this time covering a large part of central and northern regions, and also the north of Portugal.
An unexpected phenomenon in Dubai in the United Arabi.Il Crown Prince Hamdan bin Mohammed al Maktoum has posted on his instagram account video and photos showing the building Burj Khalifa, the tallest skyscraper in the world, surrounded by fog.
In the coming days it is expected that the minimum temperature come down to 12 ° C, something really unexpected for a city characterized by a stifling heat.
THOUSANDS stranded in Oregon after sudden snowstorm drops 13 inches, causes huge tailbacks, multiple accidents and brings Portland to a complete standstill
A rare snow storm brought Oregon's largest city to a halt on Wednesday
Thousands of vehicles were barely able to move on Portland streets and one of its main highways
Commuters found themselves on streets that were clogged with traffic that was inching along on snow-slick streets
The city was ready to put city buses on snow routes, and had taken other precautions, but the suddenness of the storm caught many off guard
National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for the gorge calling for up to eight inches of snow and gusting winds
Up to five inches of snow were expected in the Portland area by midnight
A rare snow storm brought Oregon's largest city to a halt, with thousands of vehicles barely able to move on Portland streets and on one of its main highways.
Commuters began leaving work early on Wednesday, hoping to beat the storm.
But they quickly found themselves on streets that were clogged with traffic that was inching along on snow-slick streets.
Traffic along the Interstate 5 and Interstate 84 interchange ramps are jammed after a snow storm moved in on the area in Portland, Oregon on Wednesday
People maneuver on slick roads on Wednesday. A wintry afternoon and evening is forecast for much of Oregon, with some cities expected to get a foot of snow
An emergency vehicle fights through heavy traffic during Wednesday's snow storm
A Portland street blanketed with snow is shown above. A school bus appeared to have rear-ended a parked car while passing through on the icy road
Cars fish-tailed, spun out, and collided. Motorists, some with their kids in their cars, who had made scant progress tried to keep their patience.
After more than three hours of waiting, some abandoned their vehicles and started walking.
Others hoped they wouldn't run out of gas.
Kimberly Wrolstad had been stuck on Interstate 5 heading to Tigard for about 90 minutes on Wednesday afternoon.
'It's frustrating,' she said. 'I don't know what's going on. I don't know if there are accidents. I know some of the trucks are having difficulties.'
Some drivers in Portland took to twitter to voice their frustrations about the clogged traffic.
'I've been stuck in snow traffic for over an hour & maps says it's going to take 2 more hours to get home,' Twitter user Cortney wrote on Wednesday amid the snow storm.

Polar Plunge' ushers in coldest air of the season
Record-breaking wintry temperatures are gripping the eastern two-thirds of the country, signaling that this could be one of the coldest seasons in years. Across the United States, 76 locations have shattered their daily record cold high temperatures for December since the beginning of the month. That means some towns saw their coldest December day ever.
The bad news is that it's going to get even colder for the rest of the week. Below-freezing temperatures are expected for 7 percent of the country -- in fact, most of the country will see the coldest air since last winter.
This storm pattern is reminiscent of the 2014 Arctic outbreak that started a social media trend called the "polar vortex."
The term took off, especially on Twitter, and meteorologists have been trying to clarify to the public what the name means. The polar vortex always exists near the north pole. An upper-level meteorology pattern called the polar jet stream locks in the cold air to the Arctic. Occasionally this northern jet stream meanders south and ushers in the polar air deep into the southern regions of North America.
The 2013-2014 winter season brought crippling below freezing temperatures and above average snowfall across the north central and eastern - which cost an estimated $ 263 million dollars in damages, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Dangerously low temperatures
When this weather pattern happens, temperatures will usually fall well below average across much of the country.
"This week's dangerous cold will sweep the country from Bismarck to Boston with -10 to -35 degree wind chills expected," CNN meteorologist Rachel Aissen said. "At -35 degrees, wind chills takes only 10 minutes for frostbite to occur." Indeed, three-quarters of the country will see freezing temperatures this week.
Wind chill advisories are already covering the Dakotas and Montana where a strong cold front is moving south across the plains. This cold air will move into the eastern United States from Wednesday into Thursday where last week's winter storm system still has the northeast in its grip.
This arctic air mass blows in is on the heals of last week's storm that is still dropping snow across the Northeast Monday. Snow will continue for much of New England Monday evening through midnight before the next system returns later this week.
Though major metro areas are not expected to see snow Monday, there is chance of some snow showers Thursday night as the next front pushes through. In addition to snow in the mountains, the last cold weather system produced heavy bands of snow across the Great Lakes region.
This storm moving through the Great Lakes region led to the cancellation of thousands of flights over the weekend. The lake's water temperature is still warm enough for lake effect snow to form. In fact, more lake effect snow is expected for the Great Lakes later in the week when this next system pushes through. Source: edition.cnn.com

Southern Africa faces worst drought in decades
8 December, 2016. Nearly 14 million people in southern Africa are in need of emergency humanitarian assistance as the region faces the worst El Nino induced drought in decades.
United Nations humanitarian agencies and partners launched a revised action plan to outlining their response to the needs of an estimated 13.8 million people as the region enters the peak of the lean season with largely depleted food stocks due to poor and failed harvests.
In a news release on Wednesday, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that the region is suffering “severe” food shortages, exasperating a multitude of existing and increasing vulnerabilities, including weak commodity prices, unfavourable exchange rates and slow economic growth.
“As we enter the critical period of the crisis during the lean season, many countries are struggling to stretch funds to cover the growing needs,” Timo Pakkala, El Nino Coordinator for the southern Africa at OCHA, said in the release.
The situation in southern Madagascar, for instance, is particularly worrying as maize, cassava and rice productions fell by as much as 95 per cent this year, compared to 2015.
An estimated 845 000 people on the island are in the “emergency” or “crisis” categories of food insecurity.
“It is essential that humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable people is sustained through this period, and for farmers to be supported so they can resume agricultural production,” Pakkala said.
As of early December, some $757 million had been raised for Regional Inter-Agency Standing Committee (RIASCO) – comprising UN and non-governmental humanitarian agencies in the region – which has helped save lives, protect livelihoods and reduce human suffering.
UN entities, including the World Food Programme (WFP), UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) and Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) have rolled out their response and are scaling up efforts to reach more with critical aid. However, despite efforts, funding gaps amounting to $550 million are yet to be met.
Without these funds, millions of the most vulnerable people will not receive full rations, and hundreds of thousands of children will remain at risk of irreparable damage from under-nutrition and from dropping out of school. Health centres will not be able to provide the most essential services, while farmers will not be able to resume full agricultural production.
Further investments in these areas, combined with solid fiscal and other risk management instruments at national and regional level, are required to build resilience and achieve the goal of breaking the cycle of recurrent drought emergencies.
Alongside humanitarian assistance, the revised action plan also calls for stepping up efforts to end the cycle of drought-induced crises in southern Africa.
To do so, development partners have called for sound national policies and strategies, expanding coverage and strengthening social safety nets, promoting climate-smart agriculture, reinforcing early warning systems and improving management of water and other natural resources. Source: iol.co.za

Bismarck in North Dakota is 25F colder than the North Pole this morning with experts warning its going to be a lot worse next week!
This morning at 9.am UST, Bismarck North Dakota USA recorded a temperature of minus 32.5C, minus 26.5F, which is 25F colder the North Pole which recorded its temperature at minus 17.3C, minus 1F.
These kinds of temperatures are brutal and with the blizzard conditions North Dakota has suffered this week it has been truly treacherous
Brutal cold lingering across the northern Plains thanks to an invasion of Arctic air. On Wednesday night, Dickinson, North Dakota, experienced an AccuWeather Real Feel Temperature® of minus 39, while in Casper, Wyoming, the actual temperature plummeted to minus 33. And it will get worse, if you thought it was cold in the US this week well, next week is going to be even colder as the polar vortex returns to North America. Reuter’s reports, forecasters are sending chills down some spines with a prediction that much of the northern half of the United States could see frigid weather next week similar to life-threatening lows the polar vortex brought to parts of the country in 2014.
How its looking for Canada and the US
Anticipation of a freezing blast began to build this week when weather maps and forecast models showed similarities between next week's system and one that developed in January 2014.
The southward shift in the polar vortex in 2014 brought the Midwest some of its coldest weather in two decades. Icy conditions snarled travel and thousands of flights were cancelled or delayed.
Frigid temperatures combined with gusting winds to create life-threatening wind chills as low as 60 degrees Fahrenheit below zero (minus 51 Celsius) that killed at least nine people.
The coldest weather next week is expected in the Midwest and North-eastern starting around Tuesday, according to forecasts that show temperatures in the single digits in some cities.
"The air mass on the way for the middle of December is likely to be substantially colder when compared to that of this past week and this weekend," AccuWeather meteorologist Paul Pastelok wrote on Thursday.
Temperatures from the Northern and Central plains to wide swathes of the Midwest are likely to drop by between 5 and 20 degrees Fahrenheit compared to temperatures this week, according to AccuWeather.
Britain is preparing to move its research station in the Antarctic 23km further inland because it is under threat from a growing crack in the ice.
The British Antarctic Survey’s Halley VI research station has recorded data relevant to space weather, climate change, and atmospheric phenomena from its site on the Brunt Ice Shelf shelf since 2012.
Sea ice extent in Arctic and Antarctic reached record lows in November
However, due to a growing chasm about 7km (4.3 miles) away that risks cutting the station off from the rest of the shelf, officials have announced that base will have to be moved.
The new site, nicknamed Halley VI A, was identified during in-depth site surveys in the 2015-16 Antarctic summer. Now that winter has passed, the relocation team are preparing to tow the station 23km to its new home using large tractors.

Spain: worst rainfall in nearly 30 years, not recording such a high level since 1989
Woman, 26, drowns after the basement strip club where she worked slowly filled with water as rescue crew tried to smash their way in during horrific Spanish floods
One woman, 26, was found dead in the town of Estepona on Spain's Costa del Sol after rains swept through
Police say it is the worst rainfall in nearly 30 years, not recording such a high level since 1989
Drivers have to abandon their cars and dogs had to be rescued from a refuge centre in Malaga
A red weather warning was initially issued, which has been downgraded to an orange, but rain continues
A horrific video has emerged of firemen and police divers battling in vain to save a 26-year-old woman who drowned inside a 24-hour strip club on the Costal del Sol.
The victim, caught in the flash flooding which has hit tourist resorts in southern Spain, made a desperate call to the emergency services when she realised the water level was rising to a dangerous level and she could not get out.
A passer-by caught the drama on video as Estepona bore the brunt of the freak weather which also hit Marbella, Malaga, Mijas and other towns and villages along this stretch of the coast.
The Spanish Metrological Office (AEMET) reported they were expecting 100 cubic metres to fall between 8pm Saturday and midnight tonight. On the roads several cars have been abandoned and there is heavy flooding in several stretches, including the tunnel in Sabanillas.
The rains have also washed rocks onto the roads.
The rain is set to continue throughout the day until Monday, when the Orange Alert will be downgraded to Yellow.
The city of Malaga and surrounding towns, including the upscale resort town of Marbella, are among the most heavily hit areas. Malaga has a population of around 500,000 residents.
Yes, it snows in Hawaii: More than 2 feet of snow in forecast
Snow at the Mauna Kea summit Friday afternoon.
HONOLULU -- The summits of Hawaii’s Big Island could get more than two feet of snow, with a winter storm warning in effect through Saturday.
A Winter Storm Warning is in effect through Saturday evening for elevations above 11,000 feet. The summits could get 20 to 30 inches of snow through Saturday,
An upper level low pressure area has brought the sub-freezing temperatures and unstable conditions. The low will combine with moisture surging in from the southeast, which could result in bursts of heavy snow, especially above 12,000 feet.
Conditions on the summits are dangerous. Besides being cold, east to southeast winds of 10 to 20 miles per hour are expected with higher gusts. The strong winds also will cause drifting snow, and freezing fog will reduce visibility to as low as a quarter of a mile.
It may be a while before you can see the white stuff up close. The road to the summit of Mauna Kea is closed at the Visitor Information Station at the 9,200-foot level due to freezing fog, heavy snow and icy roadways. The summit of Mauna Loa is also closed due to high winds and heavy snow. This means hiking and overnight camping is prohibited. The National Park Service said a thick blanket of snow was visible as low as 10,000 feet.
Yes, it snows in Hawaii, Matthew Foster, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Honolulu, said he had to explain to some surprised out-of-state callers Friday.
“Typically when we get these snow events, it does get a lot of attention,” he said, adding that he explains to curious callers that the snow is falling in a small, remote area where there are mainly telescopes and scientists. “We do have very high mountains here.”
Once they realize the heights of the mountains, snow in the island state makes a little more sense, said Ryan Lyman, forecast meteorologist with the Mauna Kea Weather Center. Mauna Kea is nearly 14,000 feet above sea level.
The weather service forecasts new accumulations of about a foot of snow Friday night through Saturday. An additional foot is possible Sunday. Temperatures are in the mid-20s to lower-30s.
That’s a significant amount of snowfall, but not uncommon for the summits, meteorologists say.
Lyman said there has been 30 to 36 inches in recent winters.
It’s enough snow to shut down operations on Mauna Kea, Lyman said. The mountain’s access road is expected to remain closed until next week, he said.
The weather service doesn’t keep track of what the record amounts of snowfall are on the summits. Heavy snow is often accompanied by wind, which create drifts that make it difficult to accurately measure snowfall, Lyman said.
Abundant snow on Mauna Loa’s 13,677-foot summit could be seen at sunset Thursday from parts of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, said park spokeswoman Jessica Ferracane.
There was heavy rain in other parts of the state Friday, with a flash flood warning in effect for Oahu, Kauai and the Big Island.
A massive storm has descended on the Russian resort city of Sochi on the Black Sea coast, bringing with it waves so high they've turned Sochi's Olympic village into a huge swimming pool.
Videos posted online showed the waves coming over the barriers on the embankment in Sochi's Olympic village on Saturday. The complex was built for the Winter Olympics, which the city hosted in 2014.
According to news reports, in some areas waves reached the height of up to 5 meters.
Concrete guardrails were reportedly partly broken.
Further from the coastline, it was strong wind that caused most trouble. More than 150 trees have been uprooted, with roads and a railroad having been blocked.
Flights at Sochi's airport have been suspended.
Dozens of cars have been damaged by the fallen trees. In one area, fallen trees damaged a gas pipe and a power line, leaving hundreds of people without gas or electricity. Emergency services are working in the city to deal with the situation.
The storm also created a whirlwind, which reportedly tore roofs off a number of houses.
Yet, some people braved the storm and rushed to the sea, not away from it. Despite emergency services' warnings, they were eager to capture the spectacular sight.
