Unrated cold spill coming down on us

 This is what happens when the gates are open to spill on the UK.  We just get the little stuff.  

You can see the leftovers of our A8 spill.  This has shattered the Atlantic plumes that protect the UK.

You can see that Europe is getting the A8.  Hope they have enough natgas.

Although you can see a lobate front, it is so weak as to go below my scale.  

The Arctic is in hybrid recharge, and Greenland is warmish.

The weather forecast just shows a slow creep of extreme cold.  Although not dramatic, this is our winter setting in, and we can expect solid cold in Canada.

A hybrid recharge means the main Arctic basin has its 'Ice Machine' going full blast with continuous spills.  That might see-saw between the two main spill gates - Canada and the Greenland Gap.  

I'm not that strong on predicting what will happen in Europe.  I don't really care, and they have the complexity of residual Atlantic plumes.  

ps the working hypothesis is that the 'lazy vortex' in the Arctic basin is a giant ice machine.  It dumps huge amounts of Earth's heat energy through clear-air convection.  If you could map the heat leaving the earth, then this would stand out.  In the 70's they mapped these huge convection cells, but then that was all wiped out during the Great Groupthink.  Don't hold your breath waiting for the Scientific Method and actual measurements.  We live by Influencer Science, and lip-flapping.  During our warm cycle, this mechanism was shut down by regular Pacific plumes.  Lots of moisture and clouds are the only true insulator we have.

In the coming decades of our Major Ice Cycle, I expect this machine to become more and more efficient.  It will add to the fact that the Pacific Belt does not have the opposite, with it's Heat Machine.  It used to have this, and I worked out a mechanism, but it doesn't exist any more, and cannot be measured.

ps natgas people are getting worried

ps this cold air is now a 'slider' sliding down the warm air going up the mountains.  What we used to call a 'clipper' is a warm Pacific plume dragging down some cold air, with a lot of rain.
