O.O.O. Are these the real figures? Is someone on the inside trying to leak out the truth?

There are claims tonight that a flickering set of figures have appeared that are much higher than the official tolls. These ghostly statistics have appeared three times then switched to the much lower official tally. But each time they grow — almost as if there are two sets of data, one for officials, and one for the public.

Ominously, the flickering death tally was 80 times higher than the official one. The infections were ten times higher. If it’s true the death rate may be far worse than the 2% bandied about.

If they are real, this changes everything. If they are fake, who or what would benefit? A glitch?

A polar vortex will strike the US Central states early next week, according to AccuWeather.

“We are anticipating that a strong push of Arctic air will take place into the US during the second and third week of February,” said AccuWeather Lead Long-Range Meteorologist Paul Pastelok.

“We expect the upcoming big discharge of Arctic air to target the interior West and northern Plains initially, where it might be more persistent as February progresses,” Pastelok said.

The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for January, 2020 was +0.56 deg. C, unchanged from the December 2019 value of +0.56 deg. C.

The linear warming trend since January, 1979 remains at +0.13 C/decade (+0.11 C/decade over the global-averaged oceans, and +0.18 C/decade over global-averaged land).

Various regional LT departures from the 30-year (1981-2010) average for the last 25 months are:

Longest cloudy stretch since meteorologists started keeping sunshine records back in 1893.

29 Jan 2020 – And 2nd cloudiest January on record.

December 29, 1991 through January 9, 1992 turned out to be the city’s longest cloudy stretch since meteorologists started keeping sunshine records back in 1893. What’s more, on Tuesday at midnight, Chicago was set to close out the city’s 2nd cloudiest January on record, only behind January 1998.

For some reason, wgntv chose a different headline:

Chicago has gone 8 days with no sun – the cloudiest spell in over 25 years
