Curses, Foiled Again! -- the joy of residual heat

 I am officially declaring a total failure of my prediction for snow in October, and a very cold November.  

All our heat energy comes from this Pacific belt zone.  It's the first thing to rise.

You look at the Atlantic belt and it is also warm, but is very small compared to the Pacific, and you see that last year rose later than the Pacific.  But the Nino zone has fallen like a rock, and the Atlantic zone is taking its own sweet time.  Thus my problem as Dr. Doom-Cold.  

Our Polar conditions depend on the North Atlantic, and nobody has told it the heat is turned off.

Thus, I jumped the gun.  When will it fire?  Probably Christmas.

Anyway, I'm sunning myself today in the backyard.
