There is a bifurcation of the South America and Africa conduit which is starting to result in some return of water vapor to the Equator on the southern end of the bifurcation (click here).
The overwhelming heat in that region though has resulted in absorption of the water vapor at the Equator without a sustainable development. The water vapor over South America is headed south to a far higher dynamic occurring in Australia. This is a dynamic completely foreign to Earth's recorded climate. There has never been such a departure of water vapor from the Intertropical Convergence Zone. It is not recovering quickly.
Saudi Arabia covered with snow in coldest winter for 20 years (click here)

ABU DHABI, January 11 (RIA Novosti) - Northern parts of Saudi Arabia are covered with snow with schools, mosques and administrative bodies paralyzed, local media reported Friday.
The oil-rich kingdom is being hit with subzero temperatures and snow storms with freezing winds of up to 50 km/h (30mp/h). Some regions have been experiencing problems with water supplies as pipes have frozen, and livestock has died from the cold.
The Saudi Gazette reported late in December that the winter was expected to last 89 days, with temperatures reaching below zero. National media said the winter is the coldest in the country for 20 years.
Morning and afternoon prayers are being combined in many mosques because of the morning cold and some schools will reopen later than scheduled.
The bad weather is fun for children and teenagers, however, who have been making snowballs and building snowmen with enthusiasm.

Here again, there is minor recovery of the Intertropical Convergence Zone, followed by an absorption of the water vapor into movement toward the pole. The ICZ is not recovering so much as acting as a shunt for water vapor. The biotic areas relying on a stable ICA (which is most of the Equatorial Region globally) are in trouble. Those are the carbon sinks. There might be continued movement toward recovery, but, at this point it doesn't appear to be able to be a stable entity of Earth.

Beauty and fury as Pilbara braces for cyclone Narelle (click here)
January 11, 2013
...Narelle is a category 3 severe tropical cyclone which is likely to develop further as it moves on its south-south-west track towards the Northwest Cape. Although there was no immediate risk, people in the area were asked to start preparing for dangerous weather.

After crossing the Pacific, the Intertropical Convergence Zone again departs from recovery west of Central America. After crossing South America, where it is absent, the bifurcation develops. That bifurcation first appeared eight years ago. It has sustained during that period.

The changes at the ICZ on this entry occurred in less than ten hours. It changes rapidly as are the storms noted globally. The point is the ICZ is always there in dynamics due to Earth's rotation around the sun, but, it may not maintain its water vapor component. If that condition sustains, that will dictate a far different biotic balance to Earth.
Just as an after thought, survivalists can't cower against this one with their guns and isolation strategies.
Yes, cower. It is cowardice to seek a hideaway rather than face reality. I think of survivalists as people hiding under their covers. They only think they have security. They don't have profound reality. What kind of strategy seeks global nuclear annihilation as a method to national security while building bomb shelters and stocking it with guns, etc. There is no logic there and we are stuck with a GOP that embraces that baloney as political SURVIVAL.
Earth will result in the victor. It has so far. Earth has no conscience, it has physics.

Residents of Western Australia's Pilbara region were bracing themselves as cyclone Narelle bore down spectacularly on WA's north-west coast.
The eye-catching pictures accompanying this report were captured by photographer Brett Martin just before sunset on Wednesday afternoon, 25 nautical miles north-west of Onslow.
Martin, whose images were first posted on perthweatherlive.com, reported conditions were glassy and flat before the storm hit, but when the wild weather arrived, the swell lifted to two metres, winds increased to 40 knots and visibility was reduced to 100 metres....
