Back from Huntsville

 Yeah, the Heart of Snow for near-Toronto.  Soon they'll have a train, buried in snow.


Those little bumps are the patio furniture.  


We have a weak cold blob coming down, but lots of stagnant winter weather for now.


We've got the signals for full cold, but nothing is coming.


We have had a clockwise vortex in the Arctic basin for 2 weeks now.  No idea what that means.  I have no idea on the mechanics.  The old vortex was clearly building up cold dense air, and this one is doing something.

All eyes on Europe

 All Arctic drainage is hitting Europe.  Nothing happening in North America.




The warm and cold collision is forming one heck of a band of rain and snow.


I'm looking forward to one of those Olympics where you can't see anything on the ski hills.

ps taking a rest on blogging for a few days.  or maybe not.

Italian soccer players come to women's Olympic hockey

 The American team has a trumpy little weasel, who is compulsive liar.  Maybe it's not a player, maybe she doesn't exist at all.  It's all a dream.  But I didn't like that hockey game.  

Reminds me of world cup soccer with players who made a big production of being wafted by another player.  Oh, Momma Mia!  Sprinkle a little magic water, and he runs off again.  Is this good for the sport?

Anyway, I don't think the baby college girl made a big impact with her antics.  The whole Canadian team looked like a bunch of old farts, entirely bamboozled by the American youngsters.  Reminds me of trying to keep up with my grandson.  Our only bright youngster is that fast fast girl.  I think they weighted too much to experience.

ps what do I know about hockey?
