Cold continues to blow away the hurricanes

 

This is messy and weak, with Pacific air.  We could get warm again in Toronto.

For the long term, we have general flatness in the N. Hemi.  Those bumps on the bottom of the curve gave us the nice winter.  

The lack of heat from the tropics will give us a cold winter.  But we are still in the general drift of higher temperatures, that we might not see this winter.  I continue to think of a calibration drift, but we'll find out.  If we have 70's weather this winter, then it will confirm the satellite temperature results need work.

ps note that there are two types of storms that might hit BC - the northern one is a spill of very cold air hitting the ambient temperature, the other is a classic atmospheric river storm.  The media will mix them both.
