As the song says, they missed convection 'the most glorious force in the Universe'. We had a nice little heating event that saved US natgas.
This was the area of a big ocean current reversal. These things dump a lot of heat into the air. The El Nino event was a huge reversal across the whole ocean.
The heating event is dead, and things are rapidly going back to a cold normal. We are getting our cold blobs back. The cold was stopping at the border, but we should get a trumper soon.
The weather people just see low and high pressure zones floating over the Earth. They don't care about the primary forces.
ps Tariffs struck down. Now I really expect another 'trump is dead' thing. He has to blow a gasket.
