A European satellite that flew over Antarctica on Wednesday captured a massive storm churning in the ocean off its northern coast (http://mashable.com/2014/03/05/eumestat-satellite-swirl/).

The satellite — known as EUMETSAT (http://www.eumetsat.int/website/home/index.html), which monitors weather and climate from space — was conducting an overflight when it caught the late summer storm with swirling clouds extending thousands of miles from its center. According to Simon Proud, a postdoctoral associate at MIT's atmospheric, oceanic and climate sciences program, the cloud tail stretches nearly 3,500 miles.

Oh yea, been nice knowing y'all.

Antarctica is known to have its own weird and extreme weather that normally stays centered. I would be worried if it moves north then I might panic if I lived south of the equator. We here north have had several "waves" of cold dipping south and messing things up. So if the weather in the northern hemisphere is screwed up, why not expect that the weather in the southern hemisphere would not be the same..

Question is why..

"Late summer storm"?

[Dogman]

What ever, I am tired of this winter to the max..

Now what I do pray for is rain where it will be needed.

We got a few inches, but if it rained like that here for the next two months, it would be helpful.
