Earlier in January of this year a geomagnetic storm erupted over the Northern Hemisphere. According to the Space Weather Prediction Center, the storm is listed as a 'G3 on the NOAA storm scale which is considered large, but not the most severe. It’s still strong enough to cause irregularities with power systems, GPS and security systems by triggering false alarms. Beyond the Earth’s atmosphere, the storm could impact spacecraft and cause orientation problems in satellites." This is the strongest magnetic storm since September of 2014.
Since the "polar-vortex" event one year ago, the combination of wind and cold air is leading to dangerous and potentially life-threatening wind chills over a large part of the Midwest. Wind chills have dipped as low as 54 degrees below zero in Grand Marais, Minnesota. "Unlike the arctic chill that ended 2014, this cold blast will bypass the West and plunge south and east, bringing below-freezing temperatures all the way to the Gulf Coast." claims the Extinction Protocol radio commentary. Basically, what this means for us is that our climate will remain unpleasantly cold.
