Feet Of Spring Snow Hit New Zealand Snowfields; B.C. And Utah’s Early Taste Of Winter; Hunga Tonga’s Unprecedented Stratospheric Injection Of Water Vapor To Impact ‘Polar Vortex’; + Stronger-Than-Expected CME
Feet Of Spring Snow Hit New Zealand Snowfields
New Zealand’s Ohau Snowfields, nestled within the Mackenzie High Country, just received a monstrous dumping of spring snow, “a fresh shot of wintery life,” so reports snowbrains.com.
The mountain copped over one meter (3.3+ feet) of powder in just a 24-hour period over the weekend.
These latest falls add to the impressive totals received last week, when 50cm (1.64ft) clipped the likes of Mt Hutt:
B.C. And Utah’s Early Taste Of Winter
The first taste of winter clipped British Columbia’s Apex Mountain last week, delivering the area an early dusting of snow.
Some 15 cm (6 inches) settled on the mountain.
More snow is on the cards, as the western North America forecast stark anomalous cooling in the coming weeks, particularly as the calendar flips to October:
“That’s kind of our precursor, that it’s on its way,” said Apex resort general manager James Shalman of last week’s snows.
Likewise in Utah, pre-fall snow is already piling up at Snowbasin Resort.
This is the resort’s first official snowfall of the season, and it is arriving a full month ahead of last year’s first recorded accumulations (of Oct 22) — and we all know how last season played out:
The AGW Party milked the Northern Hemisphere summertime for all it was worth. Well done them. But now winter is arriving–early for many–and the vast majority of indicators are pointing to it being an absolute doozy (see link below).
Cycles are the enemy of the catastrophists, even down to the cycles of the seasons.
Alarmists keenly lament summer heatwaves and wildfires, but then completely sidestep winter’s record-breaking cold and increasingly-large snowpacks. This is called cherry-picking.
Hunga Tonga’s Unprecedented Stratospheric Injection Of Water Vapor To Impact ‘Polar Vortex’
The change in water vapor distribution of the upper stratosphere following the eruption of Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai back on January 15, 2022 is quite remarkable.
Note (in the figure below, bottom-right) the spreading of the anomaly from the equator to the poles ever since the eruption; see the distribution of vapor in the middle-upper stratosphere — concentrations which are the highest ever observed:
Water vapor is by far the most ‘potent’ GHG.
Climatic aftereffects were a certainty, we just didn’t know the when/where/how-much.
Peter Kolb, PhD Forest Ecologist Adjunct Professor:
“[Tonga’s record-high eruption] blew something like a trillion tons of water into the upper atmosphere … increasing the water vapor in the Stratosphere by 10%. We talk about greenhouse gases increasing by one or two one-hundredths of a percent causing global climate change, and here we had a volcano that increased the water content of the stratosphere by 10%.”
First, cooling appeared:
Then, and still, warming has been displayed (no doubt temporary, though still quite stark):
But there’s more.
According to a recent paper published by Manney et al (July 2023), large effects on the Arctic ‘polar vortex’ are expected to manifest starting this fall and winter:
More on this to follow soon…

Stronger-Than-Expected CME
As predicted, a coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth’s magnetic field on Sept 24. However, the impact was much strong than expected, deflecting magnetometer needles in Canada by as much as 129 nT.
First contact of the CME produced a G2-class (Moderate) geomagnetic storm with intense red auroras over Scotland:
“These were some of the reddest aurora I’ve ever seen,” said photographer Chris Walker, of the Mull of Galloway.
There is a chance this storm could escalate to category G3 (Strong) on Sept 25.
High-latitude photographers (including those in northern-tier US states) should be alert for auroras tonight.
After 3 years El Niño is coming back, the QBO negative after 5 years, and the approximately 36-year long NAO+ is about to become NAO-, plus the Hunga Tonga water vapor, so winter 2024 is ready to start a long era of Global Cooling that’s here to stay, not for years but decades! It’s just the mere beginning…
Absolutely. But you can’t get people to listen to you when you tell them they should be preparing for a global Cool Down! It’s so frustrating. The PSYOP “MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING” SCAM is very durable! I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, it’s been decades in the making.
My worry is, are the POWERS that BE depopulating the planet because of coming food shortages? Are they growing meat in Labs because the food animals will die if it gets too cold? And if any of that is right, why the hell are they destroying our Nuclear Power Plants!? You can’t get cleaner than Nuclear. I do not understand the IDIOTS ruling the Planet at all! And why close GAS and OIL and Coal down too?????????? Or,…..could it all be that they are going to USE the Grand Solar Minimum as another way to cull Humanity??????? So many questions!
You are right on with my way of thinking. The Georgia Guidestones (now destroyed) shed light on what the PTB are going to do. reduce population, all that. Somehow, this just might could backfire on PTB. Here’s hoping. You can only produce lies so long, then it all catches up. Bill Gates just reversed position on global warming. Of course, he is a eugenics leader anyway. thanks for my rant.
BG making nuke power plants with WB. BG tried to make them in China but there were laws preventing that. Smart Cities will be powered by BG new nuke plants all run with BG tech. Food grown by BG, CBDC run on BG tech. Transpo run with BG tech powered by BG tech. WW3 will kill most, what’s left all controlled in BG Smart Cities

Believing everything Cap tells you without a second thought – the obvious lies fabricated about Australian & NZ climate by Cap are getting out of hand. It’s about time you read some actual science and forget this “solar cycle” TRIPE ! You conspiracy nuts just can’t go one second without accusing real scientists of ‘cooking the books’ – but have no problem swallowing Cap’s lies that can be so easily fact checked even by a bloody two year old!
The colder weather will most effect people in the prosperous developed cooler part of the planet like the USA, Europe and other northern countries .
The Grand Solar Minimum will get serious starting in 2025 NOAA with the Sunspot Number starting to drop from about 100 which it currently is to the single digits in 2031 and to zero in 2040 when the forecast ends. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/predicted-sunspot-number-and-radio-flux
The sunspots which are cooler are associated with hotter areas that send out more solar output. Fewer sunspots mean less solar output and a cooler or colder earth.
Hunga Tonga eruption has injected untold tons of water vapour AND solid particulates into the stratosphere.
The solids will remain in suspension and will block/disperse sunlight, causing cooling. The water vapour will cause warming as it disperses to lower altitudes.
Duration is unknown.
Further eruptions possible, particulates may increase.
By no means a static climate effect ongoing.
Way to many pop up ads. Ads that are marked to close actually open them. What I used to read as a daily truth on the climate has turned into a tangle and a maze. I miss the easy read as I maneuver around the ads also finding I am less interested in the electroverse as I once was due to all of the above
I’m looking into this with my ad provided. They recently (a few weeks ago now) implemented a change to the number of ads served.
I’m using Opera browser. Its native ad-blocking reports 65 ads and 28 trackers blocked on this page.
Only glitch I see is sometimes a full-page ‘blur’ appears on entering a page – just refresh and it goes.
Thanks for all your work!
No one like the ads. I assume they are providing revenue to Cap so I just kill them and/or keep scrolling down the page to consume the daily text.

Hi William,
I have duck duck go as my only web browser and I don’t see any pop up adds. Perhaps worth a little try your end on duck duck go.
Cap.
Been enjoying the site and absorbing as much true factual information for a little while now.
Thank you
Stop fabricating these obvious lies about Australian and NZ climate ffs. Heavy snow above an elevation 2000+ metres means NOTHING for the rest of the country – it’s at a latitude of 45 degrees south for god’s sake, they shouldn’t need any elevation for heavy snow but here we are. The trend is warmer and wetter and no amount od denialist lies will ever change this fact.
Are you Americans/Brits so retarded about general weather and climate as to associate any imagery of snow with “record cold!11!!!!” ?? Snow should be a very normal occurrence at this time of year even in AUS, let alone NZ which should have snow nearer to 400m rather than 2000+ m only. Get a clue ffs.
You sound a little bitter, alright a lot bitter, as for the climate only time will tell, CO2 levels follow Temperature up and down. Cause and effect
One might not like the laws of physics but they are incredibly difficult to get around.
Our Aussie fisherman doesn’t think we’re in for a lengthy cyclical cool period. As you sy, time will tell.
My advice re this skeptic is don’t feed the trolls.
Type “Australia” into the Electroverse search bar and note the extraordinary volume of all-time record low temperatures to have fallen of late (do the same on the .co extension, too). Heatwaves don’t disprove the GSM theory — a violently buckling ‘merdidional’ jet stream supports it. Also: calm down.
Of course, no mention of the extreme record HEAT that is currently gripping southern Australia. Carry on folks nothing to see here…but by all means keep sticking your heads in the sand and cope with this ‘solar cycle’ BS that has zero effect on climate.
Oh no, stifling heat……for two days. Hows the weather temperature been for the last two days in the Monaro district.
When your moniker is tired, you can always name yourself the Blowering Blowhard or TTT, The Tumbarumba Tosser.
You are one angry ignorant thing.
I guess you have your ridiculous yes23 coreflute proudly displayed out the front against all the slcial injustice
