Great vortex's in the wind, snow blowing opposite directions then meeting in spin. Looks awesome!

Coming down nice, all looking white bar the gritted roads...

Add me also. Done very well in 09/10!

Small flakes falling steady now, starting to settle, wind gusting now and then showing what we may see later... Good luck everyone. My crystal snow ball says the S.E. are in for some fun!

Snow alarm in tact, Wakes me just in time to see it falling, Cambereley on target for the streamer from liverpool.

Great question Tom, my concern this whole period is the high pressure. It's extremly high! RJS lives in Canada I believe, he seems to think it will kick of big time tomorrow judging by his posts. I guess if nobody answers we will soon find out. It certainly looks good for streamers.

Afternoon all, had a nice taster yesterday as a cell built right on top of me. Looking at the map above I'm hoping for more luck today! May have to head to the hogs back for a good view south and north. Good luck to all the storm lovers. Meso

Hi all, Been in one of the smaller cells down south, good gusty winds at least ten strikes heard and seen. Has kept building over me, can see blue sky in most directions but had rain and thunder for an hour now. 1st spring/summer storm for a few years overhead! lovely.

Not exactly hard data but i came across this thread, a little skeptical as i see it has been edited on March11th 2011. But looking at the dates and replies it looks like a genuine prediction based on the moons influence. Accurate prediction?

How about Geothermal energy. A bit harder for a country like us but Japan and all ring of fire/volcanic countries should consider that I feel.

Deepest sympathy's go out to all effected. Just came across this video, 4 mins in there is some ground footage showing the first wave coming. Staggering. Tsnami Footage Surprised to hear talk of haarp on this site. It's all speculation without hard evidence, but as it's a military project you will never hear the details of it to be able to provide hard evidence. I'm actually surprised it hasn't been talked about regarding the jet stream abnormalities, prime suspect for that blasting the ionosphere. As a sound engineer I can tell you the principle behind it is very accurate. We have tunnel vision and hearing in terms of frequency, we see and hear very narrow bands of what exists in these powerful spectrum's. This technology was discovered 100 odd years ago by Nickola Tesla. How many watts do they say it can use??? I have seen and heard conflicting reports on that but just look at the size of the plants and how many spread around the world there are. One thing i know is frequency is a powerful tool to be messing with. Your heart beats at a frequency, your cells vibrate at a frequency. Sound has long been proven to heal, when Monks are meditating they hum to create healing vibrations. This planet has a frequency which keeps the form of the things we see. Change the frequency, change the planet. Sound creates form, a science known as Cymatics. Have a look at this vid for an example of the beauty of sound, as the pitch changes it creates new patterns or a new form. A deep subject that has many levels, just scratching the surface here to explain how some of the claims of haarp are not scientifically unfounded. It would take me days to post all the info i have so far discovered on my journey into sound color and light. Something that could be unbelievably deadly in the wrong hands. This is a conspiracy favorite from few years ago. Clearly we live in a world of deception and corrupt leaders so I don't actually think its that far out there. Using depleted uranium in Iraq and Afghanistan to me is unbelievable but it's a reality. Weapons of mass destruction was said to be a reality but was in fact make believe.

How about the electric universe theory? Some rather large solar activity the last few days leading up to now. This one looks epic

Hi coast, Not a lot by the looks of that. Was more intrigued by the hurricane look of the formation, I saw a low pressure on the charts around there for that time, was this just a low pressure? had a what looked like a well defined eye. Amazing formation for that far north. Thanks Meso

Hi all, Looking forward to the storm season, hopefully more than last year! Not sure what thread to put this in. Currently some lightning around what looks like a polar low? just of the cost of Norway.

Lol, I have read about this, not tried it but I've come across two people who have said they tried. One had no joy and the other was an old boy who said he learned it in the army and they used to do it. He said most fail because of the measurements or inaccurate compasses, it must be 100% precise. He mentioned it being suspended at a specific ratio also. I haven't witnessed it though. Thank you very much. Most appreciated. I came across this news article today concerning the recent solar flares causing communication problems in Korea. My mind gravitates towards the ideas put forward about an electrical universe. My link

From the comments you've made i would say yes. Your first comment implies there is nothing else to know or learn, we have all the answers. Why not politely explain these basics which are leading people to the said misunderstanding rather than write an insulting statement. Anarchism is promoting lawlessness, are we not looking for the laws of nature in this discussion or have we already discovered everything??

I hope you won't be put off posting, I'm sure many are interested in this subject. It only natural to have opposition to your views. If we all thought the same it would be a very boring mundane world with no progress. Most of the time new ideas only get the time of day once the old are forgotten. That can take many generations sometimes. This is something known by many a rewritten book in our past. It doesn't stop those that were ahead of their time.

Hi all, Seems like years since i had a good thunderstorm around my way. I used to love the May time storms i witnessed in the late 90's. I've seen more thunder from snow in the last few years than a traditional storm. I hope this year is different, Although more thunder snow would be welcomed to before it's too late!

These professional guys should start writing research papers outlining their ideas. If they have and they haven't been published they need to go public with why. Is that not what they are trying to do with the film they have made? Outlining their ideas. Many things cause me to ask questions of lots of theory's that are taken as fact. Something i don't understand is our current explanation of electrical weather. On an amazing flight to Italy a few months ago i witnessed thunderstorms running in a line for miles and miles of the journey, my neck was rather stiff the next day as i was glued to them! What i saw was lightning coming from above the clouds, and striking the top of them as well as the lightning i could see coming at ground level. It was a truly spectacular sight. This lead me to thinking about something i had read a few years back which i can not remember the source of. The theory was that the ionosphere is attracting charged water particles up towards it, an electrical phenomenon as it were. This being the reason for low pressure centers spinning counterclockwise (northern hemisphere). I always thought that in the northern hemisphere water spins to the right and not the left. So what we have in hurricanes etc is the opposite of that, a force pulling it up, spinning it in the opposite way as it acts on the ground as such. I have come across this quote, I wouldn't really recommend trying the experiment though! "Water does spin in opposite directions north or south of equator. North of equator water spins to the right. South spins to the left. A test can be done by anyone. Simply fill a small room with smoke, have a hose ready and open the window. If north of equator, hose spray in right circular direction will force smoke out window. BUT if do it left circular direction smoke will come at you. It will be other way around south equator. Firefighters aboard naval ships on both hemispheres are trained to evacuate smoke in both directions due to which pole we on relating to the equator." Apologies if i am missing something here, i am more of a thinker than an academic. Meso

I openly admit to not being able to back up this suggested theory with mathematics, for that a highly educated mathematician would need to study this view and explain there conclusions. I'm not sure if that has happened and been published so far. It is a very logical explanation to the way the universe works. The sun has caused black outs in Canada and we are always being warned these days of the coming dangerous solar flares which will wipe out our digital era. An electric universe? Sounds like it. I have only in the last few years started to read and take an active interest in the cosmos, so I claim to be no expert but neither I'm i full with and education that may or may not be the reality of things, a clear mind. Almost all i read about our universe is openly said to be theory's and not concrete facts. We are always finding out new discovery's which smash old myths and notions we have held. History is riddled with this in every field of research. The problems encountered these days and in the past (Edison and Tesla) are compounded by self interest. If you go digging hard enough you will find many ways to generate energy which are suppressed by the ruling powers of these industry's due to the control and profits they are generating. The greed of man is responsible for a slower pace of evolution. The world we live in today is a prime example of this for those who can follow one of Einsteins greatest sayings..."Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.†Whilst we are copying and pasting sayings, may be a few more from Einstein who's theory's are being challenged. "Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe." "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education." "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." (Sign hanging in Einstein's office at Princeton) I recently started a thread on Comet Elenin, my research leads me to believe these are "Dusty Snowballs". I'm sorry but this just doesn't sit right with me. Another quote from the man, last one i promise! "The only real valuable thing is intuition". Can someone explain to me how this is a dusty snowball and not a charged object?

Not till now! Many thanks for that, something for tomorrow night. Meso

Thanks for the info. Very interesting stuff. Will have a watch of that video before i retire to bed. I have been looking into a lot of ancient knowledge left to us and it points to these conclusions you mention. This you may find interesting, a long watch and fairly poor video quality but fascinating subject material. I would also recommend the work of Graham Hancock if your interested in more evidence of ancient knowledge and past advanced civilizations that understood what we just seem to be re learning. Meso

Lol. A lovely example of the power of editing. A very apt user name. She's not my type, I'll keep watching for Virgo, much cleaner and purer.

It looks like it will come close to hitting stereo b in the orbit I viewed. Anyone know how Nasa avoid that? Need to go digging, don't know a lot about satellites.

I'd never noticed how cloudy it was till i got my telescope, only had a few nights of good viewing this year. Will be taking it to Dartmoor later this year for a camping trip. Some amazing skies when the cloud is clear, so little light pollution there.
