It's not often that a Nor'easter centered more than 600 miles out to sea brings heavy snow and and major coastal flooding to New England, but Winter Storm Saturn is a one-of-a-kind. The massive storm, which was centered about 600 miles east-southeast of New York City at 7 am EST, sprawls out over a huge area of ocean more than 1000 miles across. While the central pressure of 988 mb is not exceptionally low for a Nor'easter, the sheer size of the storm is allowing Saturn to pile up a formidable storm surge, which hammered the coast of Eastern Massachusetts during the Friday morning high tide cycle, causing severe erosion, widespread street flooding, and damage to roads and houses.

Tropical Cyclone Sandra (TC 19P) in Southern Pacific Ocean is gaining more strength. Sandra was upgraded from a Category 1 to Category 2 tropical cyclone overnight with the possibility of an upgrade to Category 3 tomorrow and Category 4 on Monday. Sandra’s central convection strengthened over the storm’s center since the previous day, which indicates that Sandra is gaining strength.

 

According to latest report by Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), Tropical Cyclone Sandra is located approximately 645 nm northwest of Noumea, New Caledonia, and is moving eastward at 06 knots over the past six hours. Sandra is expected to continue to move southeast, sparing Queensland’s coastline. Some swells in coastal waters are expected towards the end of next week. Residents of New Caledonia should prepare for impacts from Sandra early next week.  Sandra is expected to pass west of New Caledonia on March 12, and bring heavy rain, possible flooding, strong winds and rough surf.

Big Story Weather from March 5: The strong storm made its way through the Great Lakes bringing very heavy snowfall to places like Chicago. High pressure over the Rockies brought a nice day to the region, while another area of low pressure made its way towards the West Coast.

 

Weather Outlook for March 6: The storm everyone has been waiting for is finally pulling into the Mid-Atlantic region and has begun to impact cities like Baltimore and Washington DC with heavy rain, sleet and snow with accumulations likely for both cities. High pressure will slide into the Southern Plains bringing partly cloudy skies to the region. A new frontal boundary will begin to work its way on shore over the Pacific Northwest. Below is the weather for a few select cities this afternoon.

Winter Storm Rocky packed heavy snow and strong winds left six people dead in Kansas, hundreds of vehicles crashed or stranded in Wisconsin, and tens of thousands of utility customers without power in Michigan.

"It's the heaviest snow we've received all winter long, as far as the largest quantity and it's wet," said Mark Rupnik, a sheriff's lieutenant in Sheboygan County, Wis., where residents were hit with 15 inches of wet snow over two days — Tuesday and Wednesday. "This is our big storm for the year, I hope."

Shift Update – September 2012 A New Consciousness Unfolding

By Jim Self

 

There is a shift of consciousness that is unfolding. The changes that are happening within and around us are very significant. They are directly related to the electromagnetic shifts that are occurring, both within the electromagnetic field around the Earth, as well as in our own auras. While there are many positive aspects to this, the reference points for where we are heading are still not readily available to us. We are in the phase where we first have to clear away all the personal baggage we have accumulated. You cannot take your baggage with you on this journey. This is what is happening all around us right now. The entire planet is in a very significant state of flux, but you don’t hear much about it in the media.

 

In this article I am going to focus on some of the aspects of the Shift that are affecting the world today: Geopolitics, world finance, climate changes, and the Earth itself.

 

What’s happening on Planet Earth… and beyond?

In the months of May, June, and early July, there was a massive stepping up of solar  activity: solar flares, winds, storms and coronal mass ejections were larger and more frequent than we have seen before. In the second half of July they calmed down a lot, until the 25th of July, when they began to build up again. There have been some very interesting aspects to this, because the velocity of these solar events is no longer predictable. The explosions we are currently seeing from the sun are being rated as having four times the velocity of those we are used to experiencing, which means that they are having a much greater impact on the Earth’s magnetic field, our own magnetic field, and the physical structure of the Earth itself.
