What remains of the Siberian High is flowing away down south to be
replaced by deep lows to our north.

On the TV storms and snow are forecast.

There appears to be a degree of uncertainty about the near future on
weather discussions here.

No prizes for guessing what that means.

I'm surprised that there wasn't a large mag for the hurricane force
winds that blew through Britain yesterday. Perhaps the occluded front
aimed at Scandinavia tomorrow:
http://meteonet.nl/aktueel/brackall.htm will produce the absent

Meanwhile here are the scores for those Highs leaving USA so far this
spell:

6.4 2008/01/10 01:37 OFF THE COAST OF OREGON
6.1 2008/01/09 14:40 QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS REGION
6.4 2008/01/09 08:26 WESTERN XIZANG

I think there will be an earthquake some time in the next 7 hours that
will
destroy the Golden Gate Bridge.

I think it is a pity that one has to share Usenet with idiots. I don't
mind so much their idiocy but intrusion.

Still, I am without peer so should be content with my abilities and
rescind my deprecation of lesser mortals and their ancillaries.

In the meantime, a Low Pressure system sitting on the east coast of
the USA is stifling any seismic developments for the moment:

http://weather.unisys.com/images/sat_sfc_map_loop.html

Which is not to say that these air pressure systems do actually fuel
earthquakes and the like. It is just part and parcel of the same cause
and effect -or lack thereof.

There is flooding in some parts of Britain, large parts of Central
East Africa (around Lakeland.)

Thaws have occurred in North America and yet there is still plenty of
snow in many areas there and Europe, Scotland included.

Even Iraq has had some. The first time in living memory for some
places there.

So seeing as this drastic reaction to last week and beyond's cold
weather has taken place, where is the concurrent earthquake?

Unfortunately there doesn't apear anything special he
http://www.volcano.si.edu/reports/us...rweek=20080102

Which just leaves tornadic activity and above cloud lightning. Unless
we are about to receive a visitation from the subversive gods.

Looks like there are two Mag 6 quakes pending, going by the current
chart on the above link. Maybe only one will be an M 6 and one just an
high 5.

Nope.

Now it looks like those Highs are heading inland to the Great Lakes.

Awk'd bass'ds.

It seems that the highs might slough off from the Canadian border or
maybe even further north.

Should be interesting.

Meanwhile the Scandinavian High has now become the East Siberian High
and all the Low Pressure that normally feeds in from the Atlantic has
been restored:

http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/data/analysis/947_50.gif

No occluded fronts though. I suppose that is a good thing?

I wish that that last chart was a little easier to decipher. Would it
cost an arm and a leg to colour the land mass?

This spell's tribulations were flooding in the UK and central Africa
as well as tornadoes in the US and Philippines. Perhaps interesting
was not the best word to use.

Something mor academic in these though:

2008/01/14
5.4 01:20. SOUTH WEST INDIAN RIDGE

2008/01/13
5.3 12:15. LUZON, PHILIPPINES
5.1 11:16:36 -16.000 -173.063 10.0 TONGA

2008/01/12
5.0 22:44. INDIA-BANGLADESH BORDER REGION
5.2 10:13. KEPULAUAN TALAUD, INDONESIA
5.5 08:32. SOUTH SANDWICH ISLANDS REGION

2008/01/11
5.0 04:43. SOUTH OF JAVA, INDONESIA

2008/01/10
6.3 01:37. OFF THE COAST OF OREGON
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/...quakes_big.php

The Oregon quake occurred on the last day that an high left the east
coast of the USA. (That's as near as I can tell from the Unisys site.)

If I am right, it is more circumstantial evidence that there is a
direct relationship between the two phenomena. What is a problem is
that the times involved don't seem to tie them in all that closely.

However the Unisys charts are filled in by meteorologist working to
schedules and data that is not as demanding as whatever it is in them
that relates to seismic activity.

15th Jan (19:46) So this is the last day of a most interesting spell.

Unfortunately the next one is somewhat similar, so expect very little
change in the GEM and GFS charts.

11:37 is as near to noon as 19:46 is to 18:00 as damn it is to
swearing. And the expected situation on this chart:
http://weather.unisys.com/images/sat_sfc_map_loop.html
at these times is:
A standing Low Pressure area situated somewhat to the left of the
Great Lakes.
With a complex set of High pressure areas trying to break through from
the west.

And I know what you are all thinking...
"Why don't the two of them get together and blow each other out?"

And the answer is:
Because if they did that then the weather in the troposphere would be
no different from the weather above the tropopause.

And I know what you are all thinking now......
"Why didn't you think of that?"

And the answer is:

..

..

..

..

..
Because you are all a bunch of lemons.
