We're having our Dec 22 flare. Next one is ~Jan 4. New moon on Dec 29, and Full moon on Jan 12.

Big low will spin out of the Rockies the next few days, which will advect warmth over east coast U.S. The fact that the low will "spin" and be advected slowly eastward will lead to alterations in the jet streams that changes the pattern. For how long? I'll keep an eye on the stratosphere as we head to Jan 4.

How a low pressure system or "wave" breaks into Greenland can impact the stratosphere, which can lead to sudden stratospheric warming. I've seen it happen with these big lows over the Great Plains of the U.S. There was one last year on Dec 28.

There was a small 2.2 earthquake in Virginia this morning, too.
