The Pacific plumes have gone straight to the Arctic now, setting up the Big Chocolate Fountain that we had a few weeks ago.
I haven't seen the classical signs of it, but this time it will be much colder, as the season progresses. We've been just getting swirly air off the Prairies, and this is our latitude default weather. Toronto can also count on a few degrees because of the lakes.
The guy next door has decided to do some concrete pouring. This is usually fine in December for Toronto, but wait for the 20 below blob. But, uncertainties dominate, and he might be golden.
That's -20 heading to us, and -50 in the Arctic. This is warmer than usual way up north. When the blob comes, you'll see a deflection at the Great Lakes, but we'll get snow instead.
In short, we should soon expect a smooth-front blob at 50 below in Edmonton. We can watch them play 'Frozen Blue Jeans' again. If I don't see the beginnings of it in the next few days, I'll eat my virtual hat, and that has to be better than what the dog picked up on our walk right now. :(
