Weather or not?

Volcanoes Today, 29 Dec 2017: Sabancaya volcano

Gone quiet hasn't it?

And where is the storm?

The seismic sequence is up from what it has been the past week:

So don't be fooled!

There was a signal indicating a large earthquake  over the last few days. You have to be able to spot some weather related things by their absence, so don't be put off if you missed it. I miss these things all the time.

But I don't live in an earthquake active zone so I am alright, it won't affect me. Some people OTOH, should pay more attention. But like I said, I'm alright. They have been warned. So it is not my fault if they went about business as usual.

This is the signal:

***

I'll be damned if I can tell why the three Lows signalled on the second chart down failed to materialise as an earthquake. Either the machinations of the rogue coup caused it, or the insignificant  development of the isobars on the adjacent charts were more significant that I imagined.

And believe me, in this business one learns to imagine quite a lot!

I am leaning toward the latter; in which case (for future reference) this is the signal for the eruptions of both Popocatepetl and Sabancaya. (And Panscope, in Voltaire's satire Candide, was was right about tele-connections.)

Have another (careful) look the code and see if you can tell why and how I went wrong. Don't be scared; if you are alive tomorrow you will know that god loves you and wants you to be happy. If you are dead; in the words of Mortal e-Crooked "What difference does it make now?" Clingon:
What difference does it make now?

Enjoy the last day of the rest of your life. (I offically declare the Eighth Day open have fun.) Can someone grab that google doodle and insert an advert for Linux to the end that it may soon offer a little help with security and compared to Microsoft's arsehole softwarrez more than likely be providing better protection against JavaScript soon.

[Linux Format Magazine is selling a DVD free offer with miniature Linux Distros for older computers this month check it out.]

Overly dramatic, I get irascible with this stuff. I have no way of knowing if the earthquake (if there is an earthquake, now that President Trump has shot down the drones or/and satellites) if earthquake there be ...is going to be a single taxpayer or if the US federal government is supplying us with an host of smaller ones -or even a swarm or swarms. And it is getting late so maybe neither.

In case you are wondering what else could happen a freeze-up tends to be followed with an abundant harvest. One of the oldest multi-disciplines that are weather lore from Wales to Spain also states this is so.

I just sent this to "The Watchers":

US and Canada: Extremely cold temperatures continue, list of broken records

It seems President Donald Trump has had the cause of these DEWs destroyed. I hope the heat visible in the NA-EFS around the US Rockies is eliminated by that. I have sent a query to WUWT about the extent of the Rocky Mountains' High  but am not confident of a reply.

Is it possible for you to tell us how long the phenomena lasted and if there are likely to be repercussions about such a long standing Blocked High?

Tuesday, December 26

With a preliminary 157.9 cm (62.2 inches) of snow, Redfield, NY broke the Oswego County record for two-day snow total as of 17:47 EST on December 26 (22:47 UTC). The old record was 144.8 cm (57 inches) measured in Bennetts Bridge in February 2008.

On the same day, Detroit tied its daily record low of -4 °F (-20 °C) and Alpena, Michigan its daily record low of -16 °F (-26.6 °C).

Another 62.2 cm (24.5 inches) fell by Tuesday night on Erie, PA, bringing the total since December 23 to 159.7 cm (62.9 inches) and breaking the entire state of Pennsylvania 2-day total of 111.7 cm (44 inches), recorded on December 20 and 21, 1958. It also beat the 13-day record snowfall for Erie of 134.1 cm (52.8 inches) recorded from December 31, 1998 to January 12, 1999. Since the start of the month, the city saw more than 253 cm (99.6 inches) of snow, breaking its previous monthly record of 169.9 cm (66.9 inches) measured in December 1989. On average, Erie receives 257 cm (101 inches) of snow per year and 70.6 cm (27.8 inches) from December 1 - 31.
Monday, December 25

Erie, Pennsylvania hit the news this week after its all-time daily snowfall record got shattered on Monday, December 25, 2017. That day, a potent storm dumped 86.3 cm (34 inches) of snow at Erie Airport which is more than four times its previous record for December 25 - 20.5 cm (8.1 inches).

The amount also smashed the city's snowiest single day record of 50.8 cm (20 inches) recorded on December 11, 1956.

I will have to think how to frame a search of my own, unfortunately my brain is not fully functional. It never is after these things. It performs a not unpleasant relaxation piece of peace.

Problem:
How do you ask a search engine allied to the cause of the problem it wishes to keep secret how long it has been forcing the temperatures up over the Rockies and elsewhere.

If it can be proven, Google is or was complicit, Google will go bankrupt and it couldn't happen to a nastier piece of shit.

Missing forecasts on both NAEFS and the Met Office at 05:50?

I got the NAEFS earlier but not the North Atlantic
the loading of the earlier one was sticky especially around the 9th January 2018.

This was due to Waterfox not opening them. They functioned on Firefox.
The NA-EFS shows the Rocky Mountain High is not blocked after the 11th January 2018.
