... wait for no warmie.
It's the beginning of the month and all the charts are coming in. The warmies are left with two spots: California and Siberia. They scream "California is Proof!". Sad.
Whenever they want to show the sea level is rising, they find a place where the land is sinking. Yeah! I have to write the section on sea level in the background. The above is a piece of land that isn't sinking or rising with respect to sea level. Since every point on the Earth is either sinking or rising, you can't really tell anything, but this chart shows our big 2000 to 2016 warm spell, and now it is down, or steady.
The latest monthly result shows a static sea level, and this will mean a static world temperature when that chart comes out in a few days. We, da North, know it's cold.
The Pacific Ocean is dang cold. There is no 'La Nina', it is just a rebound from El Nino. Very cold water from Antarctica is flooding that ocean. That means very cold for us, and no big break in January like last year.
The above map shows that both the Gulf Stream and North Pacific current still exist, but have been driven way south. The map below show how cold the Pacific has become.
That means no nice warm tropical air plumes for us, and since all our warmth comes from there, it is a sad situation. Perhaps the Gulf warm plumes will make up for it.

It has been cold this week.
And tomorrow night is supposed to be a chiller- we haven't had frost here yet..
yet.. and we've planted our third sowing of leaf lettuces (pots/south facing front porch) they are coming along nice, so hope it doesn't get too cold. Love those fresh salads. And I mean really fresh.
Lots of the garden is cleaned up and it will soon be time for garlic.
sigh..
