Bomb cyclones become a dime a dozen

 Bombs are everywhere!  Who cares about poot's nuclear missiles?  

Just call it 'Da Bomb' and you've got attention again.

Just as I said the Arctic spill over the UK looked permanent, it is shoved over by a strong tropical plume.  This is where it would be useful to have an energy rating, like an M9 plume.

But we know, that would require physics, and we don't do that.  You can see here that's a mighty fine tropical plume spear, and it stabbing the UK.  

The all-important tip of the phallic horror, is a 'whirlwind' of activity, and has been called Bert.  I suspect that this storm will draw in some snow at the end.

By tomorrow, it will be all different again.

Leaving Amazon and dollar stores behind to go to Temu

 Amazon destroyed the shopping centre, and now Temu destroys them.  Such fun.

Walmart destroyed the small town downtown.  

I suspect that AI is next, ordering before I know I'm out...

Google Gemini AI saves you with clip art

 In the good old days, I used to get free clip art for various little kid projects.  Now, you can't, because if you search on Google, you get endless frauds, of saying it's free, and then wanting to charge you.  It's hopeless.

Until I tried the AI, and it's the first useful thing I got out of it.

Don't cry for those crummy sites, Argentina.  The stock photo sites are bankrupt, and now it's clip art.  Can't wait for it to do vector images for my stencils, etc.

Braaaains in Spaaaace!

 

I had this hypothesis show up in my dreams.  

Hypothesis - For upright heads, the brain 'garbage collection' is the lymphatic system, and it relies on gravity.

This is physics and biology.  Naturally, we'll never see the physics experiments and the Scientific Method, because the medical people are philosophers.  We saw that during Covid.  But, this is a good hypothesis, supported by lots of articles.

When brains were developing in ancient evolution times, there was no need for extra drainage, standard blood circulation was enough.  Mammals decided they needed more brains to avoid being stomped on by dinosaurs, who had brains the size of peas.  Then things got complicated.

The brains has a blood-brain boundary, and heavy thinking produces garbage.  What to do, what to do?

Let's overlay another drainage system.  We have gravity, the brain is high, so we don't need much else.

Just throw in a tube that drains into the kidneys and liver, etc.  Let's have fun with evolution and make it fancier.  Creatures with better drainage are more successful.

Let's go to 'no gravity'... what happens?  I am beginning to think we need to start making the big gravity spinning wheels in space.  Trumples can pick that as his next project.

Arctic suddenly regenerates, cold blobs are set for the winter

 

Wasn't expecting this, Greenland has signalled - Let the blob races begin!  I had thought there would be a break.

Of course, that means the Little Ice Age Arctic spill will continue over Europe.  Sure hope they have enough natgas.

And up north, we can see The Canada spillway coming active.  We were missing it because most of the air was creating Da Bomb, for BC.  

You can see both spills are settled in for the winter, with a lot of kinetic energy backing them up.  As well, we have two bombs hitting Vancouver.  

You get permanent channels when the sea ice advances, as you see here.  A couple of years ago, this played out for Siberia and Asia, but everybody ignored that.  Then we had the big heating event, and all the grasshoppers danced.  Now, the physics chickens come home to roost.

The World Revolves Around Swiftland

 

I just love this picture with all the snow shown.  Forget all that reformation stuff -- the Universe revolves around Toronto.

State of the Oceans - November report

 Repeating from the last post.

If they can't figure out the last peak of the cycle, they will never figure out our upcoming ice cycle.  It's all to do with the oceans, but weather people aren't allowed to look there.

I never argue with 'Influscience' because that is Socratic debate, which is always corrupted by strong influencers.  Instead, I only go with the Scientific Method, which has a chance of actually doing something.

The main hypothesis is that all these temperature cycles are due to shifts in the ocean circulation.  We are crippled by the 'no physics' rule of nosa and nooaa, but we have to make do with existing measurement programs that they couldn't kill.  

The main useful program are the Argo floats.  They can actually give a full 3-d picture of the currents, but nobody calculates that.  We just use the drift results.

It shows huge disturbance in the Pacific, and that would be neat to see in 3-d.  

This is causing the 'La Nina Signal' to wildly vary every day.  Yesterday, it was a perfect La Nina signal, and I'm surprised they didn't jump on it.

The surface temperatures show the massive turbulence.  A couple of years ago we had nice smooth flow.  The turbulence is caused by the collision of the cold and hot water.  The cold water is winning, and we have no heat energy coming from the Pacific equatorial belt.  This is a major cause for our long-term weather forecast, sometimes called a 'climate forecast' which is not a thing.

Weather is a mess, can't figure it out

 

I admit defeat on this.  

The headlines are funny, as they state the bomb cyclone 'meets' the atmospheric river.  That is such mucked up physics.  Like I said yesterday, the cyclone is stuck, which is the worst.

ps stuck cyclone

ps - however, I'm not the only one having trouble.  This is the funniest headline of the month.

Linux -- cleaning out the super mini computer

 I love the mini computers, and I have a super mini, as my main blogging computer.

This thing measures under 3x3 inches, and is very powerful.  However, it can put out 60w of heat, and the little fans are always running.  I have a 4x4 that is quieter.  Anyway, after a year, the fan was getting noisier.  I took it apart and flushed all the cooling surfaces with contact cleaner.  It uses a liquid coolant.

Much quieter how, and the fan runs steady.  I don't know if I'll go to this size again, or get something a bit bigger, with more passive cooling.

Arctic spills running out of juice

 

It's the only spill from the Arctic right now, freezing the poor UK.

It had a good run, adding a lot of ice to the Greenland Gap.  

But, Greenland has turned off the white light, and we must wait for a recharge.  

Da Bomb cyclone is still going strong.

Remember that I consider Leeds, UK, to be one of the main influencers of clange.  I think the nosa Venus guy picked it up after.  You can read Climategate for yourself.  That is why I am loving this.

ps. 10 to one they don't make it

ps.  Da Bomb is stuck.  Toronto getting cold air through a windy route.

Trying to do physics with weather-speak

 

I am very flattered that they are using my physics talk of 'colliding forces' and Arctic spills, but putting them into weather jargon.  That is mainly 'ridges and troughs'.  Of course, they will say something like they never heard of me.  Ha, ha.  

I blame weather jargon for the whole clange thing.  Who can understand anything?  It was all made up to create a 'priesthood' of weather people.  Anyway, they can have fun with this bomb (defined by some arbitrary thing), and ignore poor UK.  

I can't wait for some computer game, using a physics engine, and you have to throw a ridge at a trough.

Nuclear waste sites - Bruce and Ignace

 I broke my eyeballs looking at the core logs for both Bruce and Ignace.  It is excellent rock, completely different from what I was expecting.  

So, I am withdrawing from any more comments on all of this.  I have no idea why everything is hunky-dory.  Vote for approval, it's lots of money.

ps that was weird of me, but this is something that will be played out for the next 20 years, and I won't be around to laugh at it.  Most likely, the primary physics forces will come into play, and we will see a mess.

Deconstructing the "Bomb Cyclone"

 All the warmie news is on the BC bomb cyclone.  It looks exactly the same as any other cyclone, but the added descriptor makes it a clange thing.  We will soon hear that 'da bomb' is ten times more likely with clange.

Are you happy with the description?  Do you go back to sleep with such compelling evidence for climate change?  Do you want to dive into more details?  What about the poor UK that is being hit with ice cycle weather?  They are being left out in the cold media wilderness.

The poor UK is being hit with a linear Arctic outbreak.  No clange, no media.

BC is being hit by the same thing, but a tropical plume got in the way.

You mix the two together, and it is a cyclone.  The cold side of the equation is never mentioned.  

Poor Toronto is just caught in a mucky mess.

Now, these guys are not claiming that the cold is ten times more likely with clange.  There are limits.

Linux - New Debian installation defaults to 'suspend' and power off

 So, the warmies got to Debian to save power.  This was killing me! I had to reinstall my mini tv server, and it was only lasting 10 minutes, no matter what I did.  So, upstairs watching a wonderful love movie (which always puts me to sleep), and every 10 minutes I had to walk all the way downstairs to turn on the computer again.  Needless to say, we didn't get very far into the movie.  I fell asleep from the exercise.

I spent hours on this, because it is one of those things where everybody complains, and there are no solutions.  I reinstalled as a server only, etc.

Yeah!  The solution is on this site.

There is a default suspend on all the desktops, so they don't need to make it default on headless servers.  Always learned something new, always will forget it again.

ps -- omg! they've gone after all the permissions again, citing 'security'.  This is why Linux is so secure, you can barely get things working.  I reinstalled with exactly the same everything, and nothing works.

ps OMG what a horror show!  Clear the router before reinstalling.  That was a day.

Arctic spills at full blast, hitting Canada and the UK

 

The hypothesis is that the Arctic is a huge air-glacial pond of very cold air.  By some unmeasured mechanism, the warm tropical plume air glides over the Arctic and settles as virtually a cold soup.  This builds up.  The pond is confined by topography, and can only spill out in a few places.  

It is doing that now, with the spillways through the Bering and Greenland gaps.  All the gaps can be sealed at some time by warm air flowing up, and this is currently happening for the Canada gap.

The Greenland gap becomes much more 'greasier' when it freezes.  All the gaps can become semi-permanent spillways when they freeze, due to the mechanics of cold air flow (unmeasured).  You can see that happening by Greenland.

This is a fine 'doomer' scenario that I have been working on for years, and has never happened for many reasons.  The opening act is in play now.

Without physics, the best the warmies can do is to ignore it, and desperately look for warm places.  If the gap freezes, then it is 'Little Ice Age' for Europe.  The windmills will freeze up, and then fall down.  Solar cells will have 2 inches of ice.

All cold action is on Europe

 North America is still a mess.

But Europe is seeing tremendous action.

The cold spill has stopped all the plumes in a straight line.  Very rare.  

This should be a major push by the cold.

Time for the trumpies to make noaa and nasa a bit more balanced

 

So fun how they choose what they want to show.  And they have a monopoly in the world on all this.  I'm not expecting anything from the trumples, because nothing happened last time.  Neither left or right wingers know any physics.  They all dropped math in high school.  Oh well, let the fun begin.

Twas salty soil that killed the pipe

 

I think they want to be more "woke" to say 'several factors'.  That way, they can deflect the blame, but the sad truth is that it was '70's concrete' with bare re-bar, and almost no concrete cover.  This is what has killed all our bridges.  The salt on the roads corrodes the steel.  No other cause.

This has made all these bridges and pipes only last 40 years, instead of 100, as the budget assumed.  In Ontario, almost all those bridges are replaced, along with underground parking.

They were slack in funding a new pipe.  

ps. this means that the failure mechanism is uniform along the whole pipe, since it is all under roads.  Thus, their hope of 'whack a mole' with wire snaps, has no physics.

UK gets full cold-channel blast

 This is what I've been expecting, but the timing is off, due to high residual heat in the northern oceans.  That heat was a left-over from our big heating event of last winter.

The Greenland white light is on, and we can expect cold blobs.  For Toronto, we will have the full effect of a huge Vancouver hit.

That plume is huge, good for the skiing.

There is the full-channel flow down the Greenland Gap.  If it keeps up, we get the channel full of ice, and the Thames will want to freeze over, if it can.  Once the channel is full of ice, this flow should be a more permanent thing.

We're getting a flash of ice right now.  When the two upper islands are iced in, then that is significant news.

ps.

ps.  a strong Pacific plume hit goes over the mountains and tends to blow away cold blobs.  We usually get dry, moderate air.

ps I have started my famous indoor farm in the garage.  This time I am taking some lettuce from the garden, and seeing if it fast-starts.

A perfect 'Reverse Hurricane" over Greenland

 

I have been calling these a 'clockwise gyre'.  That's because most of them are caused by wind shear.  There is a perfect example by California.

There, you have cold wind streams zooming by each other, stirring the pot, so to speak.  A normal hurricane is driven by heat in the centre, creating an amazing double turbine.  For Greenland, you have an intensely cold centre, and I have no idea of the mechanics.  The warmer air must come in and dive, but details escape me.

Now that the warmies in "The big n's" are toast, I still don't expect any physics.  I suppose everybody will be just sitting around, doing nothing.

Pacific tropical plumes to dominate weather

 

The cold blobs are over the Pacific and driving down the plumes to constantly hit Vancouver.  That gives us dry, moderate weather in Toronto.  Good for the swiffies.  All the matching males for that group voted for trumples.

The Arctic has stopped taking the big Atlantic hits and is getting cold again.  We have the song:

"Greeeenlaaand, put out the white light."

That looks like in a few days.

ps all the cold-blob action is going to hit the UK

Toronto housing zooms past peak

 The 3 bedroom 2-story dormer house around the corner sold for 1.5 mill.  This is past the peak price before the huge seller and buyer strike of the last year or so.

Get your house listed!  This can't last long.  The year before covid, the houses went way down, then the covid peak.  If this market resumes with a lot of sellers and buyers, then I should eat my stupid leaves everywhere.  However, for this house, the market was very thin and rich people must have been eager.

There has been a huge compression between the monster houses, and the standard 3 bedroom in the neighbourhood.  Time to trade up if you are packed with kids.

All winds converge on Toronto for a standard mucky November

 

The big feed of heat to the Arctic continues from the Atlantic.  Meanwhile, BC gets huge slashes of Pacific tropical plumes with cold blobs.  That air is coming over the mountains and mixing with the gulf air, giving us a narrow jet of warmth.

All in all, not very exciting.

And Europe is in a mess, as well.

Cold blobs finally winning like trumples

 

A cold wind blows for the leftwinger intellectual elite.  It's time for the rightwinger elite, and it will be raining babies.

Brutal cold hits the dog walk

 Today, we had a lesson in wind chill.  Ow my fingers!  The monster coyote-thing was out and I had to control the dog with the bare hands out.

The tropical plumes continue to squeeze the Arctic, and the excess comes down on us.

The warm air is a chain feed from the equator, and has set up the momentum of warm air being sucked up past Greenland.  This pattern could stay for weeks.  Good for the UK.  And this means I'm not going to get the ice build-up around Svalbard that I was expecting.

Sharp cold blob brings powerful line storm

 

Haven't seen this for a while.  That tiny little storm preceding the line storm was strong enough down the street.  We are now into the cold blobs that dominated the summer, with its huge storms and tornadoes.  These things are different beasts than the standard mid-west tornado.  The weather people are scratching their heads.

Good thing the neighbour up the road got their sewer pipe de-rooted.

ps -- Storm broke up, nothing to see here.

ps. -- on the longer timeline, you can see the Gulf hurricane getting smashed by the cold blob.

Chief of the Scientific Method

 Now that trumples is handing out weird titles, I had a dream...

Standing in front of the magalists, I give my presentation:

"Yes, people, make 'merica great again!  I need lots of money, so I can avoid the Ticky Terrorists.  US dollars, please, our great progress will destroy the camel-toed tooney.

We will go through the history on how all of us were destroyed by leftwingers, which allowed China to surge.  We will forget about the good guys in Russia - let them take over all of lefty Europe - who cares?

When we are through, we'll save a lot of money with a bankrupt China, and Mr. tight-money will be happy, and can buy his giant Baby Mamma LA mansion.

.. Whoops, can't give away all the secrets.  I'm waiting for my first check...

ps -- the big AI scrapers have given up on me.  My blog hits went from 4K a day to virtually nothing now.  I just can't suck up to anything, and if any hand was feeding me, I'd bite it.

Classic cold blob coming down

 

A cold blob has a nicely shaped leading edge.  The mechanics of this is simply jelly sliding on a plate.  The thicker interior has a higher velocity, and piles up at the edge.

A powerful tropical plume is about to hit the Arctic, but this might just be squeezing the ketchup bottle, and squirting the cold at us.  You can see another cold blob coming down.

The winds are really mucky, with a huge clockwise gyre off the east coast.

ps. for the Alaska view, you can see the blob, but strong Pacific air is coming over the mountains.  Alberta will have lots of snow.

the cold blobs are hitting the Pacific plumes, but they have enough heat energy to keep on truckin'.
