The currents map has been on vacation for a while. It's absolutely steady. If the endless La Nina cycle is going to break, you would see it here first.
La Nina used to be the short rebound from El Nino. Now it is a different beast altogether. The Popular People are going to call it 4th and 5th, etc., just to keep their jobs. None of the previous 1997 and 2015 El Nino had this. I'm just calling it the Cold Pacific -- no heat energy. For the north, it means horrible long winters as measured by degree days, and for the south, it is an endless rainy sog.
For Alberta and Australia I had hopes they would break out of the group-think, but they don't think at all. At least Alberta is better off with horrible Arctic air blobs, as the price of natgas triples. Australia will just have to grow rice in their backyards.
The Pacific plumes are slashing down again. In previous years, this has brought up the warm air from the Gulf, and also allowed Pacific air to reach Toronto. This is why they think Toronto will have a mild, snowless winter, but I don't think the Pacific has the heat energy. Time will tell. Most likely we'll have a terrible winter, and worse next year. However, for now, I'm drinking a beer and sitting out in the back. So warm!
