An interesting and largely unknown tale of ancient astronomy recently came our way while reading author and astrophysicist Mario Livio’s blog. The story involves the passage of the most famous of all comets.  

It’s fascinating to consider ancient knowledge of the skies. While our knowledge of ancient astronomy is often sparse, we know that cultures lived and perished by carefully monitoring the passage of the heavens.  A heliacal rising of Sirius might coincide with the impending flooding of the life-giving waters of the Nile, or the tracking of the solstices and equinoxes might mark the start of the seasons.

Record April Snowstorms

Wunderground.com - 4/5/13, Christopher C. Burt

 

 

Earlier this week Syracuse, New York reported a 10.5” snow accumulation on Tuesday April 2nd. This was said to be its greatest calendar-day accumulation on record for the month of April (although this was based on a POR that began in just 1950). The previous record was 7.1” on April 4, 1971. I thought I’d take a look at other record April snow events that have occurred in the past.

The fact is that the greatest snowfalls ever experienced on earth have occurred during the month of April. For portions of the High Plains, Rocky Mountains, and Sierra Nevada April often produces the heaviest accumulating snowstorms. Here are some examples.

World Record 24-hour Snowfall at Silver Lake, Colorado

The greatest 24-hour snowfall officially measured in the world was the 75.8” that fell at Silver Lake, Colorado (in the mountains just west of Boulder) on April 14-15, 1921. The storm total was an amazing 95.0” over a 32½-hour period.

 Repost~ HOW TO IDENTIFY A SPIRITUAL EGO~

 

 

~Spiritual egos have dressed up so many fantasies as real, they "believed" them, and any "belief" is the old paradigm. The new paradigm has no beliefs, only Love and Truth.~

~ Spiritual egos approach life with their intellect, which is the left side of the brain, instead of the Heart, which is the Wholistic Brain, [Right and left side together], which is the Divine connection~

~Spiritual egos look at Love and Truth as a threat, because the Real Truth challenges their fantasies, and without their fantasies, they have to Face the Truth about the lies they told themselves~

Spiritual Ego's are the most dangerous cause they will lead you down the incorrect path.
~A Spiritual ego is just the old paradigm of power over, dressed up to look new.~

Contraction And Expansion

As a human being, you are either in a state of contraction or expansion; think black hole versus nova. A black hole contracts, pulling everything near it to its center leaving nothing but darkness. A nova, even as a by-product of destruction, creates light beyond measure. This contraction or expansion of the spirit within is your doing, your creation, your choice. ~ Creator

Hello Beloveds,

This is Judith. The video I’m offering to you came through me all of a sudden, and at a “time” when sitting in front of a camera was the furthest thing from my mind. I understand that this is because my own thought processes had nothing to do with it. Rather, it came in response to a “collective doubt” that has been persisting within humanity, one that can only hold us back if not addressed. So, the moment an energetic opening in that wall of collective doubt occurred, like a tiny vortex, you might say, the celestial team came whooshing through with this video. Obviously, they had been waiting for it.

As you have already ascertained, these last few days have been nothing if not intense, and even if they in many ways may have left you feeling weaker in the flesh, you will also sense that your spirit has lifted in more ways than one. For you are made of sturdy stuff indeed, but as yet, your physical body has a hard time coming to the same conclusion. And rightly so, for within is where the changes occur, and as such, your flesh and bones may still feel as if they are at times being torn apart. But they are not, and neither are you, as what is occuring, is such a monumental rewiring and rearranging it will leave you all feel more than a little bit worn and torn and the end of it. But contrary to assumption, you are not being torn down, you are only being fortified in every way, and as such, once again the symptoms will mask the true purpose behind all of these goings on.

Here’s a brand new message from Indriel, which came in while I was on my way to yoga this morning. Of course, I stopped what I was doing to write down what I heard, and ended up with what I feel is the perfect advice to kick off our weekend.  She encourages us to slow down a bit, and to set aside time to connect with friends – both new and old.  Also, as she has done many times before, she advises us to pamper ourselves from time to time, and to not forget about taking that all-important Me Time!

Hobart is running hot

weatherzone Kim Westcott, Saturday April 6, 2013 - 16:10 EDT

Hobart has been exceeded average monthly temperatures, so far with a fifteen month streak.

The last time that Hobart recorded a below average temperature, was back in December 2011. In that month the temperature was only one tenth of a degree cooler than average. Fifteen months later, the monthly average daytime temperatures have all exceeded the long-term average.

In March 2013, the average monthly temperature was 2.8 degrees warmer, making last month the largest anomaly in the past fifteen months.
