Hot Gulf Stream Eddy Heats the Gulf of Maine

 



The sea surface temperature has been my indicator of general NA temperatures.  But now, it has bounced straight up.  The lobsters will all be dead!


This should go down just as fast, but if any warmie notices it, you know what it will be blamed on.  

ps it looks like a superposition of 2 to 3 eddy loops.  One in a million, happens every day.

ps another one in a million thing.  



Never seen wind peel off like that, and go right over the mountains.  The cold storm has caught it.


Arctic Basin Vortex Starting to Spin

 


All Pacific heat is being laid to bed, by Arctic flow out of the Bering Straight.


It would difficult to recover from an Arctic Pile On, but there is a rare chance.  I'm going to do the final mow, and get the snow blower ready.  This looks exactly like last year, so the main chance is for snow by the end of the month.  The only difference is that it seems much drier this time.


Greenland is back to a white patch.  It should go full white soon.  Europe is enjoying some Arctic flow.


I suspect they will now quietly drop Ninnie, and go for the Polar Vortex Fairies letting the Cold Cows out of the corral.  They will have to wait for our short, stagnant summer to bring up heat anxiety again.

Cold air starting again

 



Those plume from the rolling typhoons are finally getting turned by cold air.  It is cool today in Toronto, but we are looking at a real cold linear storm coming down.



I hate to make fun of Europe, but ...


We still have combed flow over the Arctic straight from Siberia.  These heat-machine vortexes need to be started, just like the old lawn mower.  The Siberian flow is good enough for now.

ps we had a patchy frost in Toronto.  Our ever-bearing raspberries are pouring out fruit.  A hard frost will stop them.
