"We warned at the start of ZetaTalk, in 1995, that unpredictable weather extremes, switching about from drought to deluge, would occur and increase on a lineal basis up until the pole shift. Where this occurred steadily, it has only recently become undeniable. ZetaTalk, and only ZetaTalk, warned of these weather changes, at that early date. Our early warnings spoke to the issue of global heating from the core outward, hardly Global Warming, a surface or atmospheric issue, but caused by consternation in the core. Affected by the approach of Planet X, which was by then starting to zoom rapidly toward the inner solar system for its periodic passage, the core was churning, melting the permafrost and glaciers and riling up volcanoes. When the passage did not occur as expected in 2003 because Planet X had stalled in the inner solar system, we explained the increasing weather irregularities in the context of the global wobble that had ensued - weather wobbles where the Earth is suddenly forced under air masses, churning them. This evolved by 2005 into a looping jet stream, loops breaking away and turning like a tornado to affect the air masses underneath. Meanwhile, on Planet Earth, droughts had become more intractable and deluges positively frightening, temperature swings bringing snow in summer in the tropics and searing heat in Artic regions, with the violence of storms increasing in number and ferocity."
From the ZetaTalk Chat Q&A for February 4, 2012:
The wobble seems to have changed, as the temperature in Europe suddenly plunged after being like an early Spring, Alaska has its coldest temps ever while the US and much of Canada is having an extremely mild winter. India went from fatal cold spell to balmy again. Has the Earth changed position vs a vs Planet X to cause this? [and from another] Bitter cold records broken in Alaska - all time coldest record nearly broken, but Murphy's Law intervenes [Jan 30] http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/01/30/bitter-cold-records-broken-in-alaska Jim River, AK closed in on the all time record coldest temperature of -80°F set in 1971, which is not only the Alaska all-time record, but the record for the entire United States. Unfortunately, it seems the battery died in the weather station just at the critical moment. While the continental USA has a mild winter and has set a number of high temperature records in the last week and pundits ponder whether they will be blaming the dreaded "global warming" for those temperatures, Alaska and Canada have been suffering through some of the coldest temperatures on record during the last week.
There has been no change in the wobble pattern, the wobble has merely become more severe. Nancy noted a Figure 8 format when the Earth wobble first became noticeable, in early 2005, after Planet X moved into the inner solar system at the end of 2003. The Figure 8 shifted along to the east a bit on the globe between 2005 and 2009, (the last time Nancy took its measure) as Planet X came closer to the Earth, encountering the magnetic N Pole with a violent push earlier in the day. But the pattern of the Figure 8 remained essentially the same. So what changed recently that the weather patterns became noticeably different in late January, 2012?
The N Pole is pushed away when it comes over the horizon, when the noon Sun is centered over the Pacific. This regularly puts Alaska under colder air, with less sunlight, and thus the historically low temps there this January, 2012 as the wobble has gotten stronger. But by the time the Sun is positioned over India, the N Pole has swung during the Figure 8 so the globe tilts, and this tilt is visible in the weather maps from Asia. The tilt has forced the globe under the hot air closer to the Equator, warming the land along a discernable tilt demarcation line.
The next loop of the Figure 8 swings the globe so that the N Pole moves in the other direction, putting the globe again at a tilt but this time in the other direction. This tilt is discernable in weather maps of Europe, again along a diagonal line. Depending upon air pressure and temperature differences, the weather on either side of this diagonal line may be suddenly warm or suddenly cold. The tilt and diagonal line lingers to affect much of the US and Canada, but the Figure 8 changes at this point to be an up and down motion, pulling the geographic N Pole south so the US is experiencing a warmer than expected winter under a stronger Sun. Then the cycle repeats, with the magnetic N Pole of Earth pushed violently away again as the Sun is positioned over the Pacific.
From the ZetaTalk Chat Q&A for April 6, 2013:
Would the Zetas be able to let us know what is causing the early break-up of the Arctic Ice, the ice seems to have taken on a swirling pattern at the same time, would this be wobble related? [and from another] http://www.vancouversun.com/news/national/Canada+Arctic+cracks+spec... The ice in Canada’s western Arctic ripped open in a massive “fracturing event” this spring that spread like a wave across 1,000 kilometres of the Beaufort Sea. Huge leads of water – some more than 500 kilometres long and as much as 70 kilometres across – opened up from Alaska to Canada’s Arctic islands as the massive ice sheet cracked as it was pushed around by strong winds and currents. It took just seven days for the fractures to progress across the entire area from west to east. [and from another] http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=80752&src=iot... A high-pressure weather system was parked over the region, producing warmer temperatures and winds that flowed in a southwesterly direction. That fueled the Beaufort Gyre, a wind-driven ocean current that flows clockwise. The gyre was the key force pulling pieces of ice west past Point Barrow, the northern nub of Alaska that protrudes into the Beaufort Sea.
The Figure 8 formed by the N Pole during the daily Earth wobble has shifted somewhat to the East, due to Planet X positioned more to the right of the Earth during its approach. This was anticipated, and well described in ZetaTalk, the Earth crowding to the left in the cup to escape the approach of Planet X, so the angle between these two planets would change slightly. This shift of the Figure 8 to the East is due to the push against the Earth’s magnetic N Pole occurring sooner each day than prior. Thus instead of occurring when the Sun is high over the Pacific, over New Zealand, it is now occurring when the Sun is high over Alaska. All the wobble points have shifted eastward accordingly.
This has brought a lingering Winter to the western US, and a changed sloshing pattern to the Arctic waters. Instead of Pacific waters being pushed through the Bering Straits into the Arctic when the polar push occurs, the wobble is swinging the Arctic to the right, and then later to the left, creating a circular motion in the waters trapped in the Arctic. Since the Earth rotates counterclockwise, the motion also takes this path. This is yet another piece of evidence that the establishment is hard pressed to explain. They are attempting to ascribe this to high pressure and wind, all of which are not new to the Arctic, but this circular early breakup of ice in the Arctic is new.

It is called a horseshoe cloud… Because, well, it’s shaped like a horseshoe.
Christy Grimes caught a glimpse of what the National Weather Service calls “one of the rarest clouds ever.”
One of the rarest clouds ever. This was taken over Battle Mountain, Nevada, USA on 8 March 2018.
It's called a horseshoe cloud for obvious reasons.
Grimes shot the photos near Battle Mountain Thursday and sent them to the National Weather Service office in Elko, Nevada.
So, with it being one of the rarest clouds, everyone is stuck wondering how the clouds form.
The Elko National Weather Service office gave this great explanation:
“An updraft pushes flattish cumulus clouds up and a horizontal vortex develops from differential updraft speeds.
As the vortex climbs, it gets caught in the faster horizontal winds aloft, and the middle part of the vortex catches the faster speeds with the ends being slower.
The result is that the center of the vortex pulls out ahead. Various time lapses can be found online.”
So, if you ever see a horseshoe cloud, make sure to snap a photo, because you’re one of the lucky ones.

Comment by Yvonne Lawson on February 26, 2018 at 1:19pm LOUISVILLE – A violent storm system with relentless rains and fierce winds that pounded the southern and central U.S. over the weekend could lead to treacherous flooding in the days ahead.
The system that stretched from Texas to the Canadian maritime provinces left a path of destruction as it cut eastward Sunday: Homes were leveled, trees uprooted, cars demolished. Five people were killed, two in suspected tornadoes. Emergency crews struggled to keep up with calls from drivers stranded by rising floodwaters in many locations.
Flooding will continue to be a threat this week as more rain falls and runoffs continue, Accuweather said. More than 200 river gauges reported levels above flood stage from the Great Lakes to eastern Texas, the Weather Channel reported.
By Sunday, the river gauge near downtown Louisville showed the Ohio River at 34.9 feet. The normal level is about 12 feet. In 1997, the water was measured at 38.8 feet; roughly 50,000 homes flooded, and the Louisville area alone saw $200 million in damage.
Floodwaters on the Ohio River in Louisville and Cincinnati are at their highest level in about 20 years, the Weather Channel said Sunday. The river was forecast to reach moderate flood stage along the southern border of Ohio and West Virginia in the coming days, according to the National Weather Service.
In Adairville, Ky., Dallas Jane Combs, 79, died after a likely tornado struck her home, the Logan County Sheriff’s Department told TV station WKRN.
Two bodies were also recovered from submerged vehicles in separate incidents in the state Saturday

DENVER -- Sitting at a mile above sea level and in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, Denver is known for having an extreme climate. But the most recent temperature swing ranked as one of the biggest ever observed, CBS Denver reports.
According to the National Weather Service in Boulder, after a high of 69 degrees at 2:27 p.m. Sunday, Denver's official low hit 3 below zero just over 40 hours later Tuesday at 6:45 a.m.
The 72 degree drop tied for the eighth biggest swing ever noted in a period of two days or less. It also landed in the top 20 biggest temperature swing events for Denver since records began in 1872, according to the National Weather Service.
Neither the 69 degree high or the 3 below zero low were new daily records but they were close. Sunday's record high was 73 degrees set in 2016 and Tuesday's record low was 5 below zero set in 1955.
Oddly enough it was the second time in just four months that such an extreme temperature swing was observed. In October 2017 the temperature dropped 71 degrees between the 25 and 27.

Britain will be battered by thunderstorms as heavy rain sweeps across the country before another big freeze this weekend
By MARK DUELL FOR MAILONLINE
PUBLISHED: 11:21 GMT, 12 March 2018 | UPDATED: 11:29 GMT, 12 March 2018
Britain will be hit by thunderstorms today as parts of the country endure a miserably wet start to the week.
Bursts of heavy rain are falling across the Midlands and South East of England today, before up to two inches falls across South Wales and the South West on Wednesday and further downpours arrive on Thursday.
Temperatures will reach as high as 57F (14C) this week but conditions will return to chilly at the weekend as colder air arrives from Poland and sees the mercury plunge as low as -3C (27F) as well as bringing the odd flurry of snow.

Up to 0.4in (10mm) of rain is expected today, before Wednesday brings 0.8in (20mm) widely and 2in (50mm) in South West England and South Wales – and then another 0.8in on Thursday.
Today will be mostly cloudy and wet in England and Wales, while there will also be light rain in Scotland and Northern Ireland – before downpours continue to fall over most of Britain overnight.
Met Office forecaster Martin Bowles told MailOnline: 'We've got a low pressure centre right over London and that's got occlusions wrapped round it. Over most of England and Wales today, there's going to be a fair amount of rain.
'In particular in the South East, Midlands and perhaps London, we do expect there to be some big convective clouds - possibly thunderstorms, but more heavy bursts of rain for a time in those areas.
'There's a risk of thunder but its certainly not guaranteed and most people wont see it. More significantly will be some short heavy bursts of rain which could give some localised flooding in dips in the road.'
As the night progresses the rain will ease and clear in central England, with tomorrow morning bringing brighter conditions from the West and some sunny spells – despite a few isolated light showers in the afternoon.
Wednesday will have light and patchy rain, though more persistent and possibly wintry in Scotland. Thursday will then be very wet again with a band of rain moving in from the west that will track across the UK through the day.
Mr Bowles continued: 'Tomorrow we've got a ridge of high pressure across the country, so it will be dry for most of us. Temperatures up to 12C (54F) in the South.
'Into Wednesday, we get another low pressure system coming in from the West which later will bring some heavy rain into western parts. But on the eastern side of the country, a fairly mild, probably sunny day.'
Looking ahead to the weekend, Mr Bowles said: Over the weekend we're expecting it to go a little bit colder again. We're going to be getting an easterly flow from Poland.
'It will probably be cold and dry, though you could get the odd flurry on the eastern side of the country. We do expect colder than average weather over the weekend and into next week.'
Temperatures are expected to get to 12C (54F) tomorrow and 14C (57F) on Wednesday, with minimum temperatures only down to 5C (41F) in the South and 3C (37F) in the North.
But conditions will then fall to 10C (50F) on Friday and 8C (46F) on Saturday and Sunday, with overnight lows of -3C (27F) possible along with a widespread frost over the weekend.
Parts of Britain enjoyed a mild weekend with Wiggonholt in West Sussex reaching 15.3C (60F) on Sunday, one day after Kew Gardens in South West London got to the same temperature on Saturday.
