31 Dec 07:51 2007 to 8 Jan 2008.

So here we go one more year.

This spell is the same as any previous ones at this time of year that
started with a lunar phase at:
01:51; 07:51; 13:51; or 19:51. Most closely the ones at 07 and 19:51
but not a great deal different from the other two, IMNSHO.

It remains to be seen just how accurate I am in that.

It will have to remain a bit longer being seen to too, as I lost the
file I was writing to compare them.

Buggrit!

Ah well, in the meantime there is an High dropping off the North
American continent to give us warning of another Aleutian quake.

Snot all bad news then.

This spell, there seems to be a shift in the focus of the quakes with
the US highs that slip into perdition off their east coast:

I like this new add on I found at:
http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/osr...2068_3718206_3

It's called Ditto and allows you to make better use of your computer's
clip board. Previously, unless I was in Microsoft Office, I had to
fetch each piece of data from one page to another.

This thing allows me to gather text from the web page and the URL
without having to save the first thing I copied.

Nice one:

file:///C:/Program%20Files/Ditto/Help/DittoCustomKeys.htm

All above urls copied to the file and "scrolled-highlighted copied"
from among the other two clips then pasted to this reply box. Nice one.

The standard mode for this type of spell is high pressure in the wrong
places.

The US map shows what happens when an High dominates with virtually no
Low pressure areas. Cloud cover moves in from the west and continues
over the continental divide where traditional meteorology sees
adiabatics drying out the air.

Not in these spells:

Meanwhile something similar is preventing the venting of the North
Atlantic. It isn't uncommon for a Scandinavian high to extend to
Britain and block all weather coming in from the Atlantic. (Funny how
the meteorology ignores physics is it not?)

Never mind how or why, the fact is that the Arctic is blocked off and
storms from the west are creating strange occlusions to cross over
into Souther Europe. I know I am going to regret not keeping runs of
these charts:

...but stuff it. I can't be bothered with all that sort of crap.

It is interesting though. Not least because of the synergy involved:

Looking at the way that the Highs are moving east on this chart:
http://weather.unisys.com/images/sat_sfc_map_loop.html
I'd say that we should see at least one 6 M quake on Friday.

Maybe more.

All the buffs in uk.sci.weather are panting for snow at the moment,
beats me why. Anyway, the occluded fronts on he
http://meteonet.nl/aktueel/brackall.htm
are nothing like what I am used to. But then I am not used to snow.

I just don't want it. I am getting too old for all that crap.

But occluded fronts usually mean earthquakes. If they are held off the
continent and line up north to south and they occur with low High
pressure and high Low pressure, they usually indicate more than usual
volcanic activity.

This is a new one to me.

I don't know.
Is this the result I was looking for?

2008/01/04 07
5.9 KEPULAUAN MENTAWAI REGION, INDONESIA

2008/01/04
5.7 ANTOFAGASTA, CHILE

Which would indicate that the 5 Ms are all intimately connected too,
not just manifestations of someone else's weather.

Makes sense to me but what do I know? I am just an "entity" that some
mistake for a kook. (I'd prefer the term weather-god but who am I to
complain?)

I was thinking more in terms of 2 x 7+Ms when I got up this morning
but maybe these will be uprated:

2008/01/05

5.0 QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS REGION
6.5 QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS REGION
6.5 QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS REGION
5.6 QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS REGION.

But I still maintain my innocent ignorance.

Just gifted, I suppose.

The last of the highs seem to have been shed leaving another set
crossing the ridge for the end of this spell. on the 8th.

In the UK it has been a chilly spell with some snow in northern
regions. An extensive Scandinavian High saw to that and in the
southern seas twin storms seem to have been the trend with a closely
matched pair running between Madagascar and Africa and a pair either
side of northern Australia.

Nothing that spectacular though.

Now why can't we have these things:

complete with surface pressures?

Would that be too much to ask in this day and age?
