I know quite a few people who migrate South to Texas for Winter. Not a bad idea. Nice wheels...they sure don't make 'em like that anymore. I miss chrome.
According to Theo White (astromet), this Winter will last well into April..."true Winter" has shimmied to the right for this year. So the Sun and the planetary alignments say. It's a historical pattern with long-standing astronomic analogs to repeated past astronometry.
I've been reading Theo's work for a while with a more or less wait-and-see attitude. Looks like we're seeing he's pretty good at it. I was told by the best meteorologist I've ever seen (who works privately) that Theo is the best at "astromet" methodology so I paid attention.
He gave Fall more time to hang in there than it actually did but imo that's due to the ever more rapidly weakening magnetosphere which astronometric forecasting doesn't take into account (as far as I can tell). So Winter may go a week or so longer than even he calculates.
Global Cooling: 2017-2053
True Winter 2019 Gets Underway:
'Polar Vortex To Bring Dangerous Cold To Millions of People.'
by Theodore White, astromet.sci
For many years I have been forecasting and warning about the Sun's minimum and the advent of the climate and weather of global cooling.
We are one year into this new global cooling climate with 35 more years to go of a powerful mini-ice age brought on by the Sun's Grand Minimum.
Those who tell you that the Earth's climate is warming because of 'man-made climate change' are ignorant that the Earth's climate is governed by the Sun.
As I expected, true winter is about to begin for the northern hemisphere as the most severe outbreak of very cold polar air since 2014 is primed to descend over Canada, the Upper Midwest and the Great Lakes by the middle of next week.
For much of middle America - from North Dakota to Illinois and from Iowa to Ohio - I expect this new polar vortex to cause wind chill temperatures to plunge as low as 45-degrees Fahrenheit below zero (negative 42 Celsius) in northern Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Temperatures will crash to 35 below (negative 37 Celsius) in parts of northern Illinois and Iowa.
These are amazing record cold temperatures for those regions, unusual and very much dangerous, but these temperatures will become more common during winter seasons in this new climate regime of global cooling.
When a polar vortex descends into the United States the lack of cold air further north means it will actually be warmer in parts of the Arctic, Greenland, northern Canada and Alaska than it will be in North American cities like Detroit, Green Bay, Chicago, Minneapolis and Toronto.
Many outdoor events will have to be cancelled because it will be far too cold to remain outside even a few minutes.
Caution is strongly advised to protect against hypothermia and frostbite as air temperatures will be very dangerous.
The last time I forecasted a powerful polar vortex was in 2009 for the winter of 2013-2014.
This coming new polar vortex of Jan. 29-31st will rival the brutally cold temperatures of 2014.
The polar vortex usually spins around the north pole, but when it breaks, it descends into middle latitudes. This one will bring down very cold air that will cause temperatures to plunge as much as 40 degrees below normal.
This polar vortex which will get going by mid-day Tuesday, January 29th and will dominate the headlines through Wednesday, Jan. 30th into Thursday, Jan. 31st, before easing off by Friday, February 1, 2019 and into next weekend.
I expect this polar vortex incursion to set numerous cold temperature records in many locations throughout the Great Lakes and Upper Midwest.
Although some of the polar air will reach the southeastern states as far as northern Florida; as well as the Mid-Atlantic and New England; the brutal cold will not be as extreme as it will be for the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes.
The worst of the polar vortex will strike states of Minnesota, Iowa and Michigan, impacting the cities of Minneapolis, Des Moines, Green Bay, Milwaukee, Madison, Chicago, Indianapolis and Detroit.
Temperatures will feel closer to minus-20 Fahrenheit with real feel wind chill temperatures of minus-40 by Wednesday morning., January 30, 2019.
Low temperatures in Chicago, Illinois will reach minus-20 on consecutive days Wednesday, Jan. 30th and Thursday, Jan. 31st something that has only occurred four times in previous weather recorded history.
Chicago will have brutally cold polar temperatures that remain below zero for a span of at least 60 consecutive hours - lasting from Tuesday, January 29th through Thursday, January 31st.
I also expect the cities of Madison and Milwaukee, Wisconsin to experience this weather of global cooling's brutal cold with temperatures that will be 30 to 40 degrees below normal.
Although some people do not believe me, the city of Green Bay, Wisconsin will experience wind chill temperatures that will fall in the range of minus-35 to minus-50 degrees by next Wednesday and Thursday.
Meanwhile, for the twin cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, I expect this powerful polar vortex to cause temperatures to decline to near minus-25 on Jan. 30-31st with wind chills making it feel as cold as minus-50 degrees Fahrenheit.
In fact, regions of northern Minnesota will feel air temperatures that are below minus-30 with wind chills of minus-55 to minus-60 degrees Fahrenheit.
For Detroit, Michigan, wind chill temperatures will fall to minus-30 degrees Fahrenheit on Wednesday (Jan. 30) and Thursday morning (Jan. 31st.)
This polar vortex incursion is going to remind many of the polar vortex winter of 2013-2014 I forecasted from 2009; but this new polar vortex will yield even colder temperatures due to the fact that the Sun's activity is less active than it was during that brutal winter of 2014.
The coming polar vortex of 2019 is only the beginning of even worse weather to come under the climate of global cooling and will set many new records for cold temperatures for late January/early February.
But those records set next week will be broken repeatedly in the years and decades ahead due to the Sun's minimum and declining radiance.
Again, I strongly advise caution and for everyone to make preparations to protect against the brutally subzero cold temperatures on the way. |
