Life of the Endless Clipper

 


The Arctic is in full recharge, so the weak Pacific plumes come out to play.  I've never seen a continuous clipper.  Some people are getting a lot of snow.


All the plume action is very weak.


We're getting a nice black for the Arctic.


California is getting a huge clockwise gyre, a total creature of Arctic cold.  However, the LA winds seem muddled.  I can't see it staying that way if the gyre moves down.  Remember that the LA winds are a product of cold, not warmth.


Here's where it gets interesting.  The Arctic is stewing up a giant blob.  I'm still going for an M9.5.  Toronto is going for -30C, so tend to your furnaces.  Trumples has tempted the gods by saying "We don't need your stinkin' oil and gas."  I love it.  When the super mega-blob hits, they won't have a speck of natgas in reserve.  I give it 80% for a huge disaster, but maybe it all fizzles out, and they don't learn anything.

No blobs for Europe.  Maybe next year.
