Record-breaking Snowfall and Storms Across the US: What You Need to Know

Science Earth Sciences

November and December have seen record-breaking snowfall and storms across the US, from Anchorage to California to the East Coast. Additionally, unusual geological and astronomical events have also been making headlines.

Extreme Snowfall and Storms

❄️Anchorage records its snowiest November since 1953 with a Squall dropping enough snow to break the record.

⛈️California storm brings record-breaking rainfall and nearly a foot of snow.

🚗Snow and winds cause wrecks and power outages in East Idaho.

❄️The East Coast will be hit with heavy snowfall during Thanksgiving, particularly in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Upstate New York, Central PA, and West Virginia.

❄️After Thanksgiving, a large snow system will move down the West Coast, bringing snow to Colorado and potentially reaching Texas and Oklahoma.

Unusual Geological and Astronomical Events

🌌Cycle 25 is one of the weakest cycles in 200 years, while Cycle 24 is confirmed as one of the weakest cycles in 200 years.

🌞Cycle 26 may be the weakest cycle in 300 years, which could lead to eruptions and dark skies during the Grand Solar Minimum.

🚀SpaceX's Starship was lost shortly after its second test flight, which aimed to send the largest rocket ever attempted on a global trip.

🌋The upthrusting mantle in this part of the world has reacted with seawater to create hydrothermal vents.

🏛️The existence of ancient pyramids in Greece suggests that the dating of Egyptian pyramids may be incorrect.

FAQ

What is the significance of Cycle 25 and Cycle 26 being weak solar cycles?

The weakening of solar cycles could lead to increased volcanic eruptions and darker skies during the Grand Solar Minimum.

What caused the loss of SpaceX's Starship after its second test flight?

The cause of the loss is still under investigation by SpaceX, but it occurred shortly after the rocket's second test flight.

How have the unusual geological events affected the Earth's surface?

The upthrusting mantle has reacted with seawater to create hydrothermal vents, and the discovery of ancient pyramids in Greece has raised questions about the dating of Egyptian pyramids.

What are the potential implications of the record-breaking snowfall on the East Coast?

The heavy snowfall could lead to travel disruptions and hazardous road conditions during Thanksgiving and beyond.

Is there a connection between the unusual geological and astronomical events and the extreme snowfall and storms?

While there is no direct connection, these events collectively highlight the diverse and dynamic nature of Earth's natural phenomena.
