Solar Storm Hits Earth Right On The Nose - 8th March 2012

Earth's magnetic field is about to be shaken like a snow globe by the largest solar storm in five years.

After hurtling through space for a day and a half, a massive cloud of charged particles is due to arrive early Thursday and could disrupt utility grids, airline flights, satellite networks and GPS services, especially in northern areas. But the same blast could also paint colorful auroras farther from the poles than normal.

Scientists say the storm, which started with a massive solar flare earlier in the week, is growing as it races outward from the sun, expanding like a giant soap bubble. When it strikes early Thursday, the particles will be moving at 4 million mph.

"It's hitting us right in the nose," 

Astronomers say the sun has been relatively quiet for some time. And this storm, while strong, may seem fiercer because Earth has been lulled by several years of weak solar activity.

The storm is part of the sun's normal 11-year cycle, which is supposed to reach peak storminess next year. Solar storms don't harm people, but they do disrupt technology. And during the last peak around 2002, experts learned that GPS was vulnerable to solar outbursts..

The sun erupted Tuesday evening, and the most noticeable effects should arrive here Thursday, according to forecasters at the space weather center. The effects could linger through Friday morning.

In 1989, a strong solar storm knocked out the power grid in Quebec, causing 6 million people to lose power.

Solar storms can also make global positioning systems less accurate and cause GPS outages.

The storm could trigger communication problems and additional radiation around the north and south poles — a risk that will probably force airlines to reroute flights

Satellites could be affected, too. NASA spokesman Rob Navias said the space agency isn't taking any extra precautions to protect astronauts on the International Space Station from added radiation.

Big Freeze - Temperatures Plummet to -18°C In Britain

Coldest night of the winter as temperatures plummet to -18°C

England has shivered through the coldest night of the winter after temperatures plummeted to sub-zero readings - even on the Fahrenheit scale.  

Meteorologists said the temperature had fallen to -0.04F (-17.8C) in Chesham, Bucks, during the early hours of Saturday morning and was expected to plunge even lower as the icy weather continued to grip large areas of Britain.

Most of England and eastern Wales dropped to below 25F (-4C), but more northerly parts of the country including Scotland and Northern Ireland escaped serious cold thanks to a warm front. 


Saturday night is also forecast to be bitterly cold in England with temperatures in London and the Midlands falling to around 21F (-6C) while milder temperatures are likely on Sunday.


The Met Office said it had probably been the coldest night in England since December 2010 with temperatures below 14F (-10C) across Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. 

Severe Weather warning! More Snow on the Way!!

Severe weather warnings for ice and snow are in place across much of England, after the second significant snowfall in less than a week.

Snow fell in most parts of England and parts of Wales overnight while other areas of the UK mainly had rain.

Ice in parts of Wales and England is causing hazardous driving conditions.

However, a "level three" cold weather alert, issued by the Department for Health, remains in place for nine parts of England, telling people to "be prepared" for severe cold weather, icy conditions and heavy snow until Monday.

''The Met office have issued a yellow warning telling people to be aware '' for snow and ice, are also in place for much of England and southern and eastern wales until midday.

''Oh No '' More SNOW On the Way... !!!!

The February freeze is continuing, with weather forecasters predicting more snow for many 
parts of England and drivers being told to avoid some roads in cumbrian roads after a series of accidents.

There were more than 97 accidents in the county on Thursday morning as rain fell on freezing roads and immediately turned to sheet ice, making conditions treacherous.



The Met Office had earlier issued a severe weather warning of ice for the north. An amber warning has been issued for the north of England warning of widespread ice, with a yellow warning for snow and ice in many parts of England, Wales and Scotland.


The worst affected areas are likely to be east Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the east Midlands. There may be snow flurries in London this evening.


The Met Office said an area of rain had moved south from Scotland and into Wales and northern areas of England. "In places this rain is falling on to very cold surfaces, such as roads, and will freeze instantly, forming a layer of ice. Driving conditions could become hazardous, particularly where roads are untreated," it said.


An area of snow was expected to develop over east and north-east England later on Thursday, it said. During Friday this would extend into the south-west and central parts of England.
"Accumulations of up to 10cm are possible in the worst-affected regions
