Recent Photos/captures of the local Sky, Webcams and Song Titles

 

A few recent sky captures.  As you can see we had some snow, then sun and clear skies:

 

Recent Webcam Captures (out of Europe/Italy):

wtfrig is THAT?!  do you see the lines around that object?  

 

we see these quite regularly now…

 

 

And lastly, some recent song captures from Soundscape (when called to look):

see those colorful little objects on the tv stand?  those are shopkins.  little ones loooooooooove them.  they can be found throughout the house some days. today a small gathering took place in front of the television….

NEVER SEEN BEFORE: Record JET STREAM speed measured at over 200 knots – approximately 231 mph – over PENNSYLVANIA – And propels flight to 801 mph

 

The jet stream. You’ve probably heard it mentioned many times in your local forecast. It is a river of fast moving air high up in the atmosphere – approximately 30,000 – 35,000 feet – that steers storms, and can have a huge influence on our local weather patterns.

The jet stream typically reaches its highest speeds during the wintertime, when temperature and pressure differences across the mid-latitudes are at their greatest. In the summer, there is also a greater amount of rising air (convection, which leads to thunderstorms) which can disrupt the jet. In the cold months, the jet stream usually maxes out around 160 knots (184 mph).

This past Monday, however, a weather balloon launched from the New York National Weather Service recorded something that it never had before in our parts: a jet-level wind speed over 200 knots – approximately 231 mph!

Apocalyptic Sounds In The Sky: No Explanation For “Mysterious Booms And Flashes Of Light” All Across America

Authored by Michael Snyder via The End of The American Dream blog,

For weeks, Americans all over the country have been rattled by extremely loud booming sounds that seem to have no explanation, and they are often accompanied by “mysterious flashes of light”. 

These strange booms are shaking homes and rattling windows, and some witnesses say that they sound like cannons being fired.  And even though the “mystery booms” and accompanying flashes of light have been captured on camera all across the nation, so far the authorities do not have a reasonable explanation for why they are happening.  Unfortunately, it does not appear that this strange phenomenon is going to go away any time soon.  In fact, the Sun is reporting that the frequency of these “mystery booms” appears “to have gathered pace over the past week”…

MYSTERY booming sounds have been shaking houses and terrifying residents after “flashes of light” were spotted across America.

Experts have been left baffled by a spate of seismic booms from Arizona to New York that appear to have gathered pace over the past week.

Over this last weekend, this mystery started to get much more national attention after an incident in Rhode Island on Saturday was followed by one in New York City on Sunday

On Saturday, loud bangs were reported in Rhode Island, where Jeremy Braza’s doorbell captured a video and audio of a loud noise over a three minute period.

“The whole house shook,” he told TurnTo10.com. “It woke my wife up, woke up all my children.”

The following night an explosion was heard in New York, accompanied by a mysterious flash in the sky.

“What the heck was that boom or explosion in park slope Brooklyn?”, asked Matt Wasowski on Twitter.

Mystery Good Samaritan picks up hotel bill for 70 homeless people in Chicago as temperatures drop to record-breaking lows

 

UPDATE:  No longer a mystery person.  See the kind soul who did this here.

An mystery Good Samaritan has stepped in to save 70 homeless people from record-breaking cold temperatures in Chicago by paying for their hotel rooms.

The Chicago Tribune reports people were camped out overnight in tents after their propane tanks were confiscated in temperatures as low as -32C.

Wind Speeds at Extreme Highs

 

editor victoria’s comment:  below this piece is the current read of the magneto, plasma and electrons and protons….

******

February 1, 2019. Wind speeds surrounding Earth’s magnetic field broke 1000 km/s again at 1206 km/s for approximately 16 minutes on 2/1/2019 at 00:39:05 UTC after more extreme turbulence in Earth’s magnetotail that began 3 1/2 hours earlier.

Yesterday they reached into the 900’s and 700’s the day prior with some relative calm the day before.

But, we can add today to the string of 25 days of breaking 1000 km/s since January 5th

Solar winds only reached 550 km/s. Earth’s magnetospause continues to buckle from the extreme pressure.

A researcher recently published a video, “Earth Turns Into A Comet,” where he puts forth the theory that these high speed wind events within Earth’s magnetosphere is the Earth expelling a build up energy into its tail-stream, the magnetotail.

I’ve been watching these daily events for almost a month now and what I am seeing would suggest that.

He connected the Sun’s recent flashing that began four months ago with the Earth’s recent daily expulsion of energy that began almost a month ago. These I believe are both connected by the increase of strength in their electromagnetic connection to and an overload of a range of highly charged radioactive particles from Nemesis, the Sun’s binary twin, a highly magnetic brown dwarf star that exists in the infrared light spectrum.

The Earth’s sudden and violent expulsion of a build of energy would explain the recent transformer explosions in New York, Louisiana, Tennessee, Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela along with the power grid going down to millions of people in Central America 13 days ago.

And the report two weeks ago that the magnetic north pole shift is occurring faster than expected prompting an update to the world navigation systems a year earlier than expected points to an ever nearing proximity of this dark star. The planet is suffering a multitude of signs of this fact.

The atmospheric compression that is taking place is distorting the Earth’s jet streams. This is why we are seeing the unprecedented extreme and bizarre weather all over the world. This is coming from space. Space weather is what dictates Earth weather.

One question that remains is why is this happening on a daily 24 hour cycle? One theory that could be a possibility is that the planet has undergone an inner transformation within its core where the Earth is most easily able to release the bulk of this energy into its magnetotail during its daily axial realignment with this newly formed area.

But, what’s happening is global. It’s coming off the whole entire planet hundreds of thousands of miles into space. From top to bottom. What’s happening is huge.

Home Heating Advice for the Upcoming Arctic Chill here in the states

 

editor victoria’s comment ~ saw this and wanted to share for those who will be impacted by this extreme cold spell…

******

I saw this posted by someone who owns a heating company and wanted to share this for all.

Monday night through Thursday we all will experience temperatures and wind chills that our homes’ heating systems are NOT designed for. -20 to -30-degree temperatures with wind chills into -40 and up to -50+.

Newer homes will struggle to maintain temperature and older homes will NOT maintain temperature and the temperature WILL drop while the heating system is working at full capacity.

1. Please raise the temperature in your home on Monday, 2 to 4 degrees above your normal setting.
2. Take all programmable thermostats out of setback mode and set on a permanent HOLD.
3. If you have a furnace; replace the filter.
4. Keep garage doors closed.
5. Limit opening exterior doors.
6. Make sure air vents and radiators are not blocked or obstructed.
7. If you have a 90%+ furnace and boiler: You must keep the intake and exhaust clear of ice and snow. During these cold temperatures, ice can build up. A 90%+ furnace and boiler have 2 white PVC pipes; an exhaust pipe and an intake pipe that are generally on the side or back of your home. In some instances, they are on your roof, do NOT go on your roof to clear the pipe.

If the temperature in your home is dropping and your radiators are HOT with boiler systems or you have HOT air coming out of your vents with furnaces DO NOT PANIC. Please make sure that your heating system continues to operate.

If the temperatures drop in your home, it will not be able to recover until temperatures rise and the windchill diminishes. Our heating systems cannot overcome temperatures -20 to -30 with wind chill up to -50+. They are sized to operate at 0 degrees outdoor. Put your thermostat on hold 70 degrees or higher.

To help minimize temperature loss you can boil water, make soup, or stews; they help introduce humidity and warmer temperatures into your home. DO NOT USE YOUR OVEN or a GRILL TO HEAT YOUR HOME. Please check on neighbors and elderly residents during these extreme temperatures. Stay warm and safe this week and share this email with any of your family and friends.

If your heat does stop operating please contact Unique Indoor Comfort for 24-hour Emergency Service at (847) 362-1910 or your local Heating Companies.
