31 DEC. 03:12. That's a thundery spell and in keeping with the BBC's
forecast for heavy prolonged snow. It usually gets warm and humid for a
thundery spell like this coming one.

So the classic adage might prove true that it is warm enough to snow.
As a side note, the isobars seem to be deepening and the last 6+M quake
we had was on the 23rd if you don't count the 5.7 on the 26th which was
blipped briefly at a 6 odd.

So if you know of any newsgroups in earthquake areas tell them to keep
awake over the next week and some.

A slightly active period, mid fives mostly. The pressure dropped an
inch and produced warmer weather. Now rising it is sunny and cool.
Another front coming and it looks like the sort we has a run of, a
January or so back.

Well it looks like I got that one wrong doesn't it. Good job I put the
planet on alert at least.

Pity I can't remember what happened. Unusually warm winter weather I
think.

Or was it the year before that?

It was the mildest winter on record IIRC. Was that really 2 years ago?

Be that as it may the weather changed to a full on wet spell last
Saturday and the spell to follow this is substantially the

same.

After which the same type of weather we had from the 31st Dec last, is
set to return so be warned:
JAN. 6 18 56; JAN. 14 9 48 = wet weather with either long lasting
low pressure areas or many smaller lows -and

concommitant warmth and:

JAN. 22 15 14 = what aught to be warm and humid weather with some
breeze or achance of thunder. However there is a danger

yet again of severe seismic activity.

In the meantime I imagine the list of quakes on the NEIC tables should
quieten don over the next two weeks. As you can see

the quiesence has already started with only the quakes in the USA being
reported:

2006/01/08

2.5 ANDREANOF ISLANDS, ALEUTIAN IS., ALASKA
3.2 ALASKA PENINSULA
2.7 BRISTOL BAY
3.2 ISLAND OF HAWAII, HAWAII
2.8 KENAI PENINSULA, ALASKA

2006/01/07

2.8 ANDREANOF ISLANDS, ALEUTIAN IS., ALASKA
3.1 ISLAND OF HAWAII, HAWAII
2.7 FOX ISLANDS, ALEUTIAN ISLANDS, ALASKA
5.2 ALASKA PENINSULA

The chances are that this list will change as it is upgraded by
different teams or because the US quakes are on a different

server to the ones from the rest of the world.
