A note on chaotic systems. If you have a little chaos toy on your desk, it will go into regular motion for a while, then get all jiggly, and resume another pattern. The weather on the Earth is chaotic in spots, but then goes to a pattern. The weather people think patterns are a constant, but they can change rapidly. The big chaos spots are in the Pacific, generating plumes, and the Arctic. On this side of the globe, who cares about the other.
Right now, chaos has descended over North America, so it is time for me to go back to bed.
No comment on the graphics.
We've got the big snowstorm pinched off by cold, like orcas squeezing a shark for its liver.
And another Pacific plume being squeezed in by the cold through Alaska. These things are the wild card.
So, the weather forecast for Toronto is general warmth. I can't see it through the chaos, so I'll just enjoy my storm headache for the rest of the day.
ps so if you enjoy deterministic physics like billiard balls, you have to wait when the cat jumps on the table.
ps I'm going to work on my new book "The Physics Says No". It will be written by Artie, and only read by Artie. Zero effort, zero gain. A true Circular Economy.
