Even before Winter Storm Athena can finish pulling away from the Northeast, we have another significant winter storm system to deal with in the western half of the country: Winter Storm Brutus.
This time, not only is there a wind-snow combo on the cold side of the system, but there will be severe thunderstorm potential on the warm side of the storm - eventually.

Nine days after Superstorm Sandy took 112 lives in the U.S., destroyed countless homes and left 8.6 million customers without power in the Northeast, Winter Storm Athena swooped in to pile on the misery with a combination of wind and a gloppy and locally heavy wet snowfall.
As of Thursday afternoon, some 600,000 people were still in the dark across the region -- a combination of lingering outages from Sandy and additional outages caused by Athena.

(Reuters) - More customers in New York and New Jersey were without power Thursday morning than Wednesday due to a nor'easter that knocked out over 300,000 customers and slowed utilities' efforts to restore power outages from Hurricane Sandy.
State temperature rankings for October 2012. Blue shades indicate cooler-than-average temperatures while beige and orange shades indicate warmer-than-average temperatures. The numbers rank each state's temperature among all years since 1895. A number of 118 would indicate the warmest October on record; a number of 1 would indicate the coolest. For example, Iowa had its 21st-coolest October on record, and California its 21st-warmest.NOAA/NCDC
After 16 consecutive months of above-average temperatures, the U.S. enjoyed a cooldown in October. According to NOAA's National Climatic Data Center, temperatures averaged across the contiguous 48 states were slightly below average for the first time since May 2011.
NCDC's State of the Climate report said the average temperature over the Lower 48 was 53.9°F, only 0.3°F below the long-term average.
Predawn sky first. The moon is now moving through the part of the heavens where the planet Venus also resides. You can’t miss them if you look east before dawn in the next few mornings. Venus is the brightest planet. They will be an awesome sight!
The chart at the top of this post shows you how they’ll look Friday morning, November 9.
On the last seminar I attended in Glendale, CA about Genetically Modified Food (GMO), the devastating health effects of GMOs on the population, and Prop 37, I also found out about yet another “inconvenient truth” regarding…MILK!
The International Milk Genomics Consortium (IMGC), which is housed at the University of California, Davis has been working for years to reveal ground breaking scientific research and studies about the genes that are responsible for making milk.
The team studies the genes that are expressed in the mammary gland during pregnancy and lactation, and how these gene products work together to produce milk – a “ marvellous fluid”, like Danielle Lemay, PhD likes to call it.
New region 1611 rotated into view on the east limb and produced a moderate M1.7 flare at 02:23 UTC and a type II radio sweep shortly after, on November 8, 2012. Flare generated bright coronal mass ejection (CME) in eastward direction which means that it would not be geoeffective.

In some significant way, a change is preparing to take place for each of us. Today involves a "practice run" with this, so events will foreshadow it. To prepare, we will need to clean out some of our old habits or routines. Air out these things and see if they measure up in the light of day. If not, they need to be discarded. If it is outworn (especially if it is something that keeps coming up time and again, like you are on a circular path that goes nowhere), today is the day to deal with it and do it a different way. Painful memories may be brought up. If so, we will also have to deal with these. This energy is going very deep to clean up and transform. Facilitate the process by taking deep breaths.
I know if you are awake you have taken notice of how twisted the thinking has become in this world. Most of the time this thinking by others leaves you shocked, jaw dropping to the floor and scratching your head saying “What?” It truly is insanity out there right now on all levels, it is why I keep urging all to stay centered in their hearts to stay grounded. We are living between the worlds as it is so appropriately called. Our thoughts have advanced on to higher dimensional thinking, but our bodies remain stuck here in 3D amongst the insanity. It is a very challenging road to be plodding down. At least be thankful you are awake enough to know what you are hearing is both twisted and false, many out there still believe what they are hearing! This world of illusion is spinning very fast now, it almost makes you nauseated from time to time, like when the carousel picked up speed and you grabbed onto the horse’s mane for dear life as a child.
