CMEs always seem to wind up being all bark, no bite -- but perhaps the fault lies in our stars, not in ourselves, after all. Thanks BenLurkin.

Three coronal holes spread across the sun are pointing at Earth. As a result, the US Space Weather Prediction Centre in Boulder, Colorado, and the Space Weather Operations Centre of the UK Met Office in Exeter have issued an alert for tomorrow of a minor geomagnetic storm.
“Early on Day 3 (April 2), a high-speed stream from coronal hole 67 is expected to reach Earth,” said the Met Office. Forecasters in the US and UK predict this could confuse migrating birds and other animals, cause minor problems with satellites and make an aurora visible as far south as Maine and Michigan.
The storms could rise to G2 level on a five-step scale, which would mean the Northern Lights might be seen in New York, and some electrical transformers could be damaged.
Magnetic lines Viewed through X-ray telescopes, coronal holes can appear to be vast, dark, blank spaces in the swirling atmosphere of the sun. They are the places where the sun’s magnetic lines don’t return to the surface.

“and cause women near the North Pole {Russia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Greenland and numerous Eskimo female populations in northern Canada} to go into heat.”
Bear that in mind while planning your vacation. One moment, you’ll be minding your own business. Next moment, your wife will be on you like white on rice, ripping your clothes off and trying to do Lord knows what. Beware. Beeeeewaaaare.

Where in Michigan do you live?
Frederic.
Raised there or relocated?
Just moved here from the commie west coast 1.5 years ago.
But I grew up downstate and my husband in Montana.
Ask me how madly we love it here...best place we have ever lived.
Will Dear Liza please pick up the yellow courtesy phone?
Love, Henry
Again???
Fact #55,674… My bird feeders are devoid of any type of bird for the last few days. This is not bird feeding as usual at the Bender estate for this time of year...
On another note, the radio skip last night was amazing. I was picking up operators in Europe and Alaska and as far away as Australia in one instance. Though, I couldn’t make contact with the operator Down Under, he came in pretty good.
