Olympics weather looks good

 No 40 below stuff for them.  Looks average.


Our heating event is turning, but there still is some residual hitting us, and Europe.


Since we have no more Gulf heat, our weather depends on the Pacific plumes.  I think we have a last one hitting us.  


It is fighting an Arctic spill, so we have to see what happens.



For the first time in a while, the Arctic is going back to 'colder than the old normal'.  That baseline is 'pre warming'.  


There is the last Atlantic plume fighting a big flow from the Arctic.  Lots of snow.


The Arctic now has that 'double barrel shotgun' clockwise spin.  One outlet goes to Europe, and one to Canada.  Both are pouring down on plumes.  

In summary, we had our chance for warmth redemption, and it has been cruelly snatched away.  Look to heavy winter weather.

ps OMG, the dog walk!  Strong wind -30 wind chill.


ps Huntsville at -30C.  This year or next, we'll have 70's weather at -30 for Toronto, and -40 up north.  This is just for a standard 20 year cycle, we have no history for a major ice cycle.  And to be smug, this was all predicted.

A perfect clipper for Toronto

 



The fun of having Pacific air coming in, is that there is lots of snow.


The Arctic mechanism is listless.




THE BIG NEWS!

Remember yesterday when someone said there was a heating event, and no more cold fun?  Ha!  Fooled you once!  


Somebody snipped off the bud of the heating event.  Going down, total false labour pains.  It was a damp squib.


It was such a perfect reversal yesterday, and the chart confirmed it.  Now the reversal is shattered.  I expect the temperature chart to continue going down.  No fun for the warmies.  They won't burn fire barrels on the street.

That's the way the cookie crumbles.  I don't expect the ocean current to go back to warmness now, it never does.  I'm very sorry if you cashed in your natgas tickets.  I now expect the Pacific plumes to stop careening over the mountains, and leave things open for the Arctic spills.


The leftover plumes from the 'flash' heating event are still piling in.  Expect lots of snow.  Then we'll have fun with natgas, and the chance of the US running out.


The draw is huge, and straight down.

ps I never expected such a weenie heat event.  I was expecting it to be smaller than the last one.  The big reversals used to be our El Nino events, then that stopped.  Then we had a transverse event (N-S in the W. Pacific)  I suspect no more heating events for 300 years.  

ps Yeah, Canada in the Olympics - We Are Ice!

ps Come against us, you rotten Trump-Titanic

Create your memoir

 It has never been easier to create your memoir.  Mine, can't be published while I'm alive.  Perhaps, I'll get it done when I am dead.  

On your Pixel 8 or higher, dictate the story to Google drive, with voice typing.  It's really good now, and must download a bit of Artieness.  I find very few errors.

Then go to Gemini 3, and just prompt 'proof and edit for publication'  It's amazing in that it does all the tedious stuff like paragraphs and quotes, etc.  The result is fantastic, and asks if you want it more or less humorous.  I'm humorous enough for 10 people.

You can just close your eyes and dictate 'in the zone'.  It's as good as typing for me.  I remember 20 years ago trying to use voice typing, and you had to enunciate every word, and worry about punctuation.  I may even use it for the blog.  I started this a few days ago when my back went out.  Ouch!

A hundred years from now, physics might be back in style, and it will be a big seller.
