OKLAHOMA CITY —Let's face it, Mother Nature can do some pretty nasty things. In this case, she's hitting us hard with cold. And not just any sort of cold, record cold!
It doesn't take a meteorologist to tell you that this April has been cold. Just how cold? Not only are we seeing record lows and even record cold high temperatures (that means the coldest high temperature), but we are on pace to have the coldest April on record.

Chicago - The coldest start ever to the wheat-growing season in Kansas and freezing weather across the southern Great Plains are compounding damage to U.S. crops already hurt by the worst drought since the 1930s.
"I'm going to assume 75 percent of my wheat froze" when temperatures dropped as low as 13 degrees Fahrenheit on April 10, said Gary Millershaski, who has been farming in southwestern Kansas for three decades and this year planted 2,800 acres of hard, red winter wheat on his land near Garden City. "It looks like someone sprayed a defoliant on it."
Amateur astrophotographer Rhys Harris of Bodmin, Cornwall, England sent in a photo of the March 2013 full moon. He writes: "I managed to snatch this image last night [March 27, 2013] in light polluted skies!" (Rhys Harris)
This month's full moon, which falls on Thursday (April 25), always reminds me of one of the first times I viewed the April full moon.
When I was very young boy living in New York, there was a popular television weathercaster by the name of Carol Reed. While not a meteorologist, she had an upbeat personality and always finished her reports with what became her personal catch phrase: "And have a happy!"

NASA's iconic Hubble Space Telescope has snapped stunning new photos of Comet ISON, which could become one of the brightest comets ever seen when it zips through the inner solar system this fall.
Hubble captured the new photos on April 10, when Comet ISON was slightly closer than Jupiter. At the time the icy wanderer was about 386 million miles from the sun and 394 million miles from Earth.

CLARKSVILLE, Mo. -- Communities in Illinois and Missouri fought Tuesday to hold back surging rivers swollen by days of drenching rain, even as an approaching storm system threatened new downpours.
Floodwaters were rising to record levels along the Illinois River in central Illinois; roads and buildings were flooded and riverfront structures were inundated in Peoria Heights. Firefighters feared that if fuel from businesses and vehicles starts to leak, it could spark a fire in areas that could be reached only by boat.

Hello friends. It’s been quite a journey of discovery this month with so much leading and building up to our powerful Scorpio Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse on 4/25.
Scorpio 6: A gold rush. This is a symbol of the exploitation of natural resources through personal initiative of intelligence, and of every individual’s essential independence of the commonplace limitations or superficial inadequacies of life. There are always high rewards awaiting any genuine enterprise, and as man dramatizes the opportunities of the world at large he is able to improve his own immediate condition in all possible directions. Human skills are forever challenged to their own good fortune. The keyword is ambition. When positive, the degree is instinctive self-dedication to the unseen potentials of everyday existence, and when negative, a lack of practical discrimination and an irresistible desire for easy money. – Traditional Sabian Symbol interpretation by Marc Edmund Jones
The pain of the world is so extraordinary right now many people are not in their right mind. You have to detach and hold steady or you’ll be sucked in.
Consider these things as a reminder:
(1) Emotional pain is all based on the ego’s opinion. It decides things should be one way and karma comes along to contradict that. It is not a pleasant thing to suffer an ego-hit but it happens to all of us. So say to yourself when things go against you “This is natural. This is my karma. I must accept it,” and then move on with dignity and valor.
(2) Visualize the adverse situation and breathe love into it and the people involved. Love can cure the pain, because it makes you bigger than the pain so you get over it.
(3) Be very careful you don’t get obsessed. I knew a very sweet Indian businessman that was my dear friend. His drink was spiked at a nightclub with LSD. The trip ended a few hours later but he never recovered as he saw it an affront to his integrity and he fell apart and went bankrupt. Silly.
Solar Watch Produced Some Nice Fireworks. Unlike Last Solar watch there were no Earth Facing CME activity but a few glancing blows. Still there is large coronal hole that is Earth facing and a couple of reactive regions corresponding and closely located to these coronal holes. The Earth facing sunspots lack polarity and hopefully will not destabilize at the same time coronal holes are doing their thing. Another 48 hours the coronal holes will move out of the way and we can await their solar wind/particles.
