Winter at warm peak

 The Arctic is just happy filling up.  We have nothing going on.  Although you may not feel warm, this is as good as it gets.

We have that one lunge, giving us -10C at night.  However, it is not expressed in the winds.  Very weird.  I think this is just cold settling in, and we no longer depend on the Arctic to give us our nice freezing temperatures.

This shows Greenland at its warmest.  NA is finally balancing with Siberia with a cool black shade.

The Arctic Ice Machine is just spinning away.  Might be like this for a week.  You can tell when it is cooked by Greenland being topped by the cold sludge air.  

ps and the warmies are hoping a tiny burst of wind will resuscitate El Nino.  So quaint.

Anyway, they will have their moment again and again with the stagnant summers.

ps I just discovered these charts.  They are just the sea surface temps laid out as a time series.

this is the Nino zone, and you can see all the historic warm cycles.  The main push of the warmies was that the cycles were over, and we would rise to infinite heat.

ps and the Yukon expects to be warm in January.

ps we must be happy that everybody just sucks in this bull.
