Cold mornings in February will become a thing of the past!

The 14th saw a normal high and low for the first time in a while!

As we approach and the go by the mid point of the month of February, all these below freezing mornings we've been experiencing will decrease dramatically in number and severity. That's the hope at any rate! Current computer modeling see a very basic shift in the weather regime from arctic style cold to a much more moderate and normal state for this time of year. Look for temperatures to begin hitting the 60 degree mark with some irregularity and then not dropping much below freezing during the nights. 

In addition, the sun is currently in an active phase which means an increased risk of solar storms, some of which could adversely impact the earth!

STORM WARNING: NOAA forecasters estimate a 75% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on Feb. 15th in response to three incoming CMEs (Corneal Mass Ejections). The first two, which left the sun on Feb. 11th, have probably merged in transit to form a single "cannibal CME" more potent than either of its constituents. The third CME, launched on Feb. 12th, is following close on their heels. High-latitude sky watchers should remain alert for auroras.

My home-based Geiger counter which is displayed at www.taneyservice.com – see the Radiation tab – will hopefully record any increase in radiation levels over time.
