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 appear anything special hehttp://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. I have just had a look at a Google email dated 8th January: http://www.wandtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=7590156 http://www.rrstar.com/multimedia/x531360995?pop=true http://www.wisn.com/news/14996323/detail.html http://www.news-leader.com/apps/pbcs...ING01/80107047 http://www.kspr.com/weather/blog/13506712.html All links to stories of recent US tornadoes. On the money as usual. Good ol' Mike. 6 more from one dated the 9th, so probably more on the same lines. One or two with good pictures though: http://www.myfoxkc.com/myfox/pages/N...Y&pageId=3.2.1 http://www.myfoxmemphis.com/myfox/pa...Y&pageId=3.2.1 http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5j...QsANQD8U1RJL02 http://www.wlky.com/news/15005624/detail.html http://www.rrstar.com/multimedia/x546810146?pop=true http://wkbt.com/Global/story.asp?S=7594215 |

http://weather.unisys.com/images/sat_sfc_map_loop.html 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. Now it looks like those Highs are heading inland to the Great Lakes. 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? |

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

With a complex set of High pressure areas trying to break through from the west. However it isn't as cut and dried as all that. Consider: http://meteonet.nl/aktueel/brackall.htm And all the northern hemisphere seems covered in a double Low pattern that is balanced by a double High situation that is a macrocosm of what this type of spell should ordinarily be producing over the UK. This spell and the next is normally one where two Highs and two Lows are counterpoised around the UK with the centre of the effect being known as a "col". Usually the situation is speared by ridges or troughs from the dominant air mass. I am not sure (too inexperienced) to say how unusual this present situation is but in lieu of a decent hurricane at lower latitudes, I imagine this pattern is a decent substitute that explains the present situation in Britain: Flood Warnings. Something similar on the Canadian-US border: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/wwa/ where winter weather watches are in effect. (Strong winds, snow and ice.) And no sign of things changing much on this: http://weather.unisys.com/images/sat_sfc_map_loop.html Which is tantamount to saying that with an East Siberian High, a North Pacific Low and and Arctic Low in situ; no Highs on the US mainland are going to find their way into the North Atlantic and..... No severe earthquakes are going to trouble the Aleutians. Or not, as the case may be. |

19:00 on this site we lose a significant High:
http://weather.unisys.com/images/sat_sfc_map_loop.html And just for the purpose of making me look like an even bigger idiot: 2008/01/15 6.5 17:52 FIJI REGION Well, at least they got the time down to something a little more like it. |

"Weatherlawyer" wrote in message ... January the 8th and already a tornado watch/warning situation in the US. The time of the phase is 11:37. Another unstable spell. sNiP Tornados are relatively common pretty much all year around in the southern half of the US. However, there was an F-3 tornado in Wisconsin recently and that has only happned once in the last 100 years, that is, a tornado. I'd be willing to bet the last one that occured was nowhere near that strength. F-3's are rare enough during the spring and summer months in the northern states but during the winter, it's almost frightening. As for now, most the the northern, central and east central US is poised for the coldest air of the season, temps will reach -35F in many places and below zero as far south as Kentucky. This was considered quite normal during my youth but since the recent global changes in climate have occured over the last 10-15 years, this weather could be considered quite cold. It wasn't unusual at all in the 1970's and 80's (in Minnesota-where I grew up) to have winters with over 100 inches of snow and extended periods of weather that reamined below zero, even during the day. There has not been a severe winter in Minnesota since the mid 1990's. As for northern Kentucky (where I am unfortunately living now) we haven't had a significant snowfall in over three years. As for your other antics, this user does not care to comment as they are not relavant to anything happening here but you DID bring up the weather here in the states, so I thought I'd comment myself.
