28 Thoughts to “China’s Growing Season Threatened By Historic Cold; Deadly Avalanche In France; + Another ‘Swing’ For The U.S.–From Heat To Flash Freezes”
I have been trying to think of an appropriate analogy
For the western worlds government’s preparedness in the face of this approaching Grand Solar Minimum.
Picture yourself on the SS Whiplash, braving a huge storm threatening to get worse. With the ship taking on water it’s either sink or lighten the load.
Brilliant Captain Joe Biden hatches an amazing plan. Jettison the fuel and throw the live boats and life preservers overboard.
You forgot to mention that he saves one lifeboat and plenty of food for himself and his cronies.
But won’t they be surprised when God pokes a hole in their lifeboat?! Rev. 6:15-16
Just re-read Rev. 6:15-16.
This CO2 stuff has gotta go. The buyers for my house are getting rid of the wood stove, the lP Gas Wall vented heaters, and will rely on the heat pump that does not function well below 40 degrees, switching to the electric heater bank. Except we cannot take care of the house and ground very well, and help is non-existent for garden work, we opted for downsizing. But that’s another story. Oh, yeah, sunspot coming our way. BUT…I am leaving a blue town in a blue county and at least are getting closer to our friends who are like-minded.
Wise move, and so is downsizing. Look into square foot gardening, wild edibles, and gardening indoors with LED lights. Wild edibles require little to no maintenance, once you get them established in your yard. Raised beds keep soil nutrients confined for more intensive gardening, require less space than traditional gardens and less work.
Good luck and welcome to the mass migration away from self- destructive liberals.
Oyster farms here. One five ounce can smoked oysters is thirty dollars. https://hamahamaoysters.com/collections/oysters/products/hama-hama-smoked-oysters-canned?variant=39482567000166
One fourteen point five ounce can of green beans is fifty cents. I bought this house six years ago, there’s 80 acres of oysters and clams across the street that’s HOA and State tidelands I can harvest without buying the land. No overhead. My teriyaki smoked oysters are better than the oyster company’s, great barter product. And teriyaki smoked elk, great barter item.
I’m eating zucchini bread, spuds and green beans from last years garden it should be a nice warm El Nino Spring for planting. Slugfest ’24 https://assets.jlscontent.com/photos/wanwmls/214/640/2146407-29.jpg
I was a commercial landscaper for twenty years, a big part of that was installing automatic irrigation. Landscape is mandated in new construction to stop global warming so I was installing irrigation in Seattle where it rains ten months a year to stop global warming. Installing irrigation in the snow in Winter to stop global warming. Waiting for snow to stop and mud to dry up to install sprinklers and make money so I could buy some land and grow my own food all while paying rent and child support which was all my money and then some. I went to college for aquaculture and ended up landscaping in the rain and snow to stop you know what. I wanted to grow food, you can’t grasp the pain and irony.
i joined the Navy in ’75 for four years so I could go to college for aquaculture for three years double time and ended up landscaping for five bucks an hour laying sod in the snow to stop global warming. 49 years into this equation.
Regarding Canada temperatures, look across the north (Whitehorse, Yellowknife and Iqaluit), all are trending a colder than normal for the next week after nearly a month of above normal except Iqaluit in Canada’s eastern arctic which has had volatile temperature swings but probably averaged close to normal in February. Canadian Prairies have been very mild for February with a few temperature swings. Interested to see what March brings across Canada. Thanks.
I’ve just read a paper by Ian Edmonds about the link between SSN and SIM while taking into account the existence of the hypothetic ninth planet with seven earth masses, in the Orion shield. He concludes that this improves the spectral model a bit.
I’m just starting to read papers about sun-planets interactions, and I find this very amusing.
Hey Dirk!
You want to come stay in my motorhome and landscape my property? I’ll pay you $6.00 an hour plus room and board ( the living conditions are a bit primitive, tho. No running water.) But you’d only have to work one hour per day, 5 days a week. Can’t afford more than that, lol!
Thirty years ago I worked for a landscaper in the Columbia Gorge area. I’m still pretty good at it, but have to wait out my time with post-surgery lifting restrictions. In the meantime, I’m lifting weights and riding my exercise bike. Can’t wait to get back outside!
I keep bumping my comments to the bottom of the page, even tho I start them in reply to someone. I can’t figure out how I do that, and more to the point, how to stop.
The elk herd is next door grazing my neighbor’s yard, storm blowing through gusting forty. My fence keeps them out of my yard, they want in but they wreck the septic lines. Great scenery.
When I got this place it was overgrown with grapes and blackberries, blue tarps on the house and garage roofs. I looked at everything on the market forever I was lucky to get this place. Prices tripled, nothing for sale now.
Forest Service road behind me goes up to 4k elevation , river is half a mile North. 15 minute walkability approved.
I don’t go much past Walmart which is 40 miles in either direction. Costco once a month for coffee beans. Shoveling is not recommended activity if I want to stay pain minimal. Less shoveling equals less pain. Pain bad, less pain good. Shoveling bad. My back was so bad I sat and read all the Clive Cussler books. Clancy, Mitchner, Ludlum, etc etc etc. Days I couldn’t walk to the mailbox fifty feet away, not worth the pain. Lost 70lbs, just a useless old fart now not much I can do aboot it, eh? Watch solar flares, volcanos and cyclones on the net. https://soho.nascom.nasa.gov/data/realtime/c3/512/ https://www.windy.com/-Show—add-more-layers/overlays?tcso2,50.635,-149.990,4,i:pressure,m:e1xacu5
Dirk-
If there’s any way you can manage it, I highly recommend physical therapy. Non-invasive, no drugs involved, and it can work wonders. Just be careful to get a good therapist. Fortunately, the good ones seem to be in the majority.
More people would be opting for PT if it wasn’t such hard work. It seems these days most people are afraid of hard work, want a magic pill to fix everything. They might as well take the vax while they’re at it.
Anything east of the Cascades will become uninhabitable when it gets cold. The temp of the Pacific Ocean will allow sea life to survive below sea level. There’s spot prawns that live at 200 feet deep a half a mile from my house I can catch with my canoe and a prawn trap. Use one oyster for bait or some clams. I could catch 50lbs a day in my canoe, I only would eat one pound. There’s 100lb ling cod down there feeding on the spot prawns. Halibuts. I also have a skiff with oars. Inland will be uninhabitable I’ll be eating spot prawn, halibut and elk kbobs on the BQ. Kentucky and Missouri will be uninhabitable.
This is where the food will be when it gets cold, Aquaculture could be developed by now all the money and energy went to fight global warming, endless wars. $142 billion dollar light rail train, no aquaculture to feed people except the oyster farmers here and salmon hatcheries. Can’t wait for the salmon to return, just killin time till then only good time of year. I have 3.5 salmon left in the freezer Spring chinooks on the way.
I go where God sends me. Right now it’s Missouri. It’s been in the 70’s most of the week, so no worries about the cold. But if He sends me to Alaska, I’ll go, tho I don’t know how I can carry a .45 on my hip with MY old-fart back problems, and I wouldn’t step outside w/o one.
Perhaps I’ll meet you in Rehab up there in the NW one day, haha!
That’s where the money is, play the game and get out. Make $150k a year, anybody who needs a job and get out of mommy’s basement. All part of the Belt Road/UN Agenda 21/30 project. That’s where the money is, play the game and get the eff out, eh? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdERb7Tw_MQ&t=2s

Big sunspot coming our way? When?
According to Ben Davidson, there is nothing big coming toward us at this time.

I guess that’s a no. Oh well, I wouldn’t want to take you away from your elks and oysters.😉

I made it into the heavy equipment ops union at age 50 in ’06 after twenty years of landscaping and in ’09 I was working for the second largest construction company in the world building the Seattle Light Rail. Big tonka toys.

Pretty strenuous plans for a bloke with a bad back. Btw, hadn’t you better be looking around for someone to take care of you in your old age, mate?
Cheers!

It snowed in Seattle until May in ’09, there was no corn crop here that Summer. I was working all Winter building the Seattle Light Rail in the snow to stop global warming.
It’s a $142 billion dollar project to stop global warming.

Like Disney Land, it will go in the snow too, some of it is underground.
