Blog note. Jesus indicated that ‘fearful sights’ (various natural disasters) would occur leading up to the time known as the Tribulation and Great Tribulation (a combined seven year period of great destruction on earth). Although these types of things have occurred in the past for centuries and thousands of years, they could be identified as the ‘season of the times’ due to the ferociousness of these events. They would be occurring in greater intensity, severity, frequency, size, duration, scope … just like the pains that a woman experiences in labor the farther along she is in the labor process. We are in the ‘season of the times’ that comes just before the seven (7) year Tribulation/Great Tribulation period

… And great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. (Luke 21:11).

… And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; (Luke 21:25)

… Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken; (Luke 21:26)

… This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. (2 Timothy 3:1)

Jesus is giving a series of prophecies about what to look for as the age of grace comes to a close. These verses are several of many such prophecies from throughout the Bible. 2017 was the worst year in recorded history for the intensity, frequency, severity, duration and occurrence of a large number of severe natural disasters worldwide. Earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, torrential flooding, unprecedented wildfires in unusual places, devastating droughts, excessive/scorching heat setting records everywhere, record snowfalls in Europe and Russia. Snow in the Arabia. This list can go on. Most studied Eschatologists believe these ‘fearful sights’ and massive natural disasters are all part of the ‘CONVERGENCE’ of signs that this Biblical and prophetic age is closing. Most people who study prophecy are familiar with the routine reference(s) made that these things will be like a woman having labor pains, growing in intensity, frequency, size, duration and scope.

Unseasonably cold Arctic airmass, snow and freezing rain with gusty winds across the central and eastern U.S. “Will feel more like the middle of January, than the middle of November.”

A significant early-season Arctic airmass will produce areas of snow and freezing rain, and gusty winds across the central and eastern U.S. into next week. Widespread snow from the Plains to the Northeast could fall as far south as Tennessee, with the heaviest snow likely to fall from upstate New York to northern New England. Numerous cold temperature records will be possible. The counterpoint to these wintry conditions will be continued warm temperatures in the West with air stagnation issues in the interior Northwestern states.

“An expansive area of high pressure originated from Siberia has traveled across the Arctic Ocean and is now dominating western Canada,” NWS forecaster Kong noted 08:08 UTC on November 10, 2019.

“The leading edge of arctic air associated with the high pressure system is now edging southward across the northern Plains. This will spread the coldest temperatures so far this season across the eastern two-thirds of the country during the next few days.

“In fact, record cold high temperatures are forecast for Monday for many locations across the upper Midwest, with below-freezing temperatures reaching central Texas by Tuesday morning. This will make it feel like in the middle of January rather than November.

Snowfall from a fast-moving weather system will engulf portions of the Plains, Midwest, and Northeast. This round of early-season snow has already formed from Montana into the Dakotas, which will rapidly spread farther east through the Midwest by Monday, November 11. A blast of cold air will follow behind the snow which is likely to break records in the central and eastern states by the middle of the week.

The National Weather Service in the northern High Plains and the northern Rockies have issued winter weather advisories, while winter storm watches are in place from the Adirondacks, New York, into northern Vermont, as well as Great Lakes.

Snow is forecast to expand into the Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes by Sunday night, November 10. Some sleet may mix in over parts of Kansas, Missouri, and central Illinois.

Monday showers will be more widespread and heavier as moisture from the Gulf of Mexico reaches the cold front in the Midwest on Veterans Day.

Snow would be most likely from the southern Great Lakes into upstate New York and northern New England.

Rains may become sleet as snow from Ohio Valley falls to the Ozarks. By the evening on November 11, snow may be heavier from western and central New York to northern England, as well as parts of Tennessee Valley and the Appalachians.

Widespread snow is expected to end across the Midwest on the same day, but streamers of lake-effect snow are likely to form south and east of the Great Lakes.

Through Tuesday and Wednesday, low pressure is expected to track inland of the Northeast Seaboard – most of the major cities along the Interstate 95 corridor will see little or no snow accumulation.

The most significant snow will fall to the north and west portions of northern New England and upstate New York. Snow and wrapping around the intensifying low-pressure system may continue.

Northern New York could see more than 254 mm (10 inches) of snow. Some light ice accumulations are likely in parts of northern New England from southern Maine to New Hampshire before the precipitation ends.

Moderate snowfall is possible in the High Plains, southern Great Lakes, and the central Appalachians. The major cities on the East Coast may receive little to no accumulation. Light snowfall is likely in the mid-Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys, including in St. Louis, Louisville, Nashville.
