  2. THE NITROGEN FRINGE: For weeks, aurora tour guide Rayann Elzein of Utsjoki, Finland has dreaded the end of aurora season. If this was it, it was a doozy. "I have almost no words to describe what I saw tonight!" he says. "There was a crazy, fast and bright aurora show, with many pink fringes, almost non-stop for 45 minutes."
  3. AURORAS BEFORE DARK: The first night of northern spring was a good one for sky watchers in Norway. In fact, the auroras didn't even wait until nightfall. "We saw them dancing even before it got dark in Senja!" reports Matt Robinson, who took this picture from his front yard:
  4. Yes please, as I have lots of plants in my garden (shrubs, wildflowers and trees) that need tending. Two of my planters are flooded with rain water. I also have a makeshift pond (using a blue council plastic recycle box) to observe the first signs of tadpoles and to seed my native wildflower seeds.
  5. AURORAS VS. THE MOON: Spoiler alert: The auroras won. "A beautiful swirl of green auroras corkscrewed through the midnight sky on March 10th," reports Rayann Elzein of Utsjoki, Finland. "The full Moon was no match for this geomagnetic display."

  7. There is a school in South Ockendon that has been closed because of the coronavirus: https://www.yourthurrock.com/2020/03/03/south-ockendon-school-closed-family-member-shows-symptoms-coronavirus/
  8. It was the year without a winter as all it was very wet, very wild and very mild weather. Completely unseasonable and it was more like an extended autumn. I would not have mind if it was a frosty winter, as at least that is seasonable weather. But we got the dreaded trio of a hyped up jet-stream, a very cold polar vortex and the Azores High which was a recipe for a disaster along with a warmer than average North Pacific, and a colder than average, as well as an absence of a North Atlantic Tripod.

  11. LEAP DAY AURORAS: A stream of solar wind blowing ~500 km/s is gently buffeting Earth's magnetic field today, and this is causing geomagnetic unrest around the Arctic Circle. As a result, longtime aurora photographer Thomas Kast captured his first photo of Northern Lights on Leap Day:
  12. I have heard that the chance of getting cold winters increase at the end of solar minimum as it begins to enter to enter solar maximum, not during it.
  13. Here is the latest information on the BBC regarding the novel coronavirus:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51048366
  14. MAGNETIC CRACK SPARKS RARE BLUE AURORAS: Yes, there really are cracks in Earth's magnetic field. One of them opened on Feb. 18th, sparking some of the strangest auroras in years. First, the night sky turned blue over the Lofoten Islands of Norway:
  15. "Surprise auroras strike big!" exclaims Alexander Kuznetsov, who photographed the display from Kilpisjärvi, Finland. "At one point they went pink and moved very fast! I also saw a fast corona unfolding above me, reminding me of an angel."
  16. There have been slight increases in the sea ice while the snow cover has hardly changed.
  17. It's very windy in Thurrock, no idea of the wind strengths but QE2 (Dartford) Crossing has been closed since 6:30 am. None of the online local newspaper websites for Thurrock Gazette or Your Thurrock reported this as I found it on the Daily Express and the Kent Live websites.
  18. It is a beautiful frosty morning in South Ockendon. The temperature is 4 Celsius.
