I've been reading the fantasy papers on the weather. Since the jet stream is just the boundary between cold and warm air, it is up to the reader to choose between the tail and the dog. They also go on and on about that one erroneous 'All January all the time' plot. The Toronto 7-day forecast now throws in a cold blob, and they have always been right this winter.
You can start to see it.
The Alaska plot is clearer.
This plot shows the Arctic and Greenland going black, and Greens should soon be white.
That last bit of cold in the US is being shoved out by very weak Pacific air.
On the matter of the world being warm, there is another opinion.
The Northern Hemisphere is frozen, but look, the southern hemisphere has summer. How amazing!
Is it a really warm summer? No, just average. Note that if you are just plotting the anomaly value, like some world plots, the North Pole is warmer than normal at -50C. That still goes into the plot as warm.
We look to the winds to confirm the blob. All the winds are streaming in, confirming that this blob will be M8 or greater. That means cold down to the toes of the US. Can you say 'natgas freeze'?
ps no natgas reaction. Once they see the frozen gas, then maybe.
