Full Arctic pour continues

 Getting into February, the pattern has changed.  We are no longer getting 'clean front' Arctic blobs, mainly because the ambient temperature is starting to rise.


You can barely see a blob front in the clear air of Western Canada.


Greenland is showing full white, which has indicated the magnitude of the blob before, but it is a very raggy front.


The anomaly plot has a nice lobate front in the States, but it is different from the other plots.


There's a curve on the wind now, but the air stream is coming right over the Arctic.


That is such a beautiful straight flow over the Arctic.  So, I am stopping my magnitude estimates of Arctic blobs because things are changing.  Nevertheless, the natgas draw this week will be a show-stopper.  

As usual, nooanosa are forecasting warm, warm, warm.  The warmies have somehow found a plot that says January is the warmest ever.  I predicted this a long time ago, that we would have a conflict between happy-talk, and reality.


Get out your shorts and sandals
