Tropical plumes scoop out the ice cream


This is what I predicted for April, and I'm freezing along with everybody.  All winter we had the weird Halvsie El Nino (hen), and it just produced short plumes to give us a very warm winter.  Meanwhile the Arctic was left alone to become very cold.  It produced the biggest ozone hole ever.

Now that air mass has to break up, and it's gooping all over us in Toronto.  The Pacific tropical plumes are scooping out the cold air and bringing us Alberta cold clippers.  This is what we would expect during a normal cold winter.

Isn't it ridiculously cold for this time of year?!
We're so below seasonal norms it isn't funny.
It's minus 2 c as I type
Seasonal lows are 2C
And the highs are well below seasonal norms by something like nearly 10 degrees Celsius.
The wind is just frigid- We were riding bikes yesterday and it was so cold - It is mid April for goodness sakes!
