#physics #weather **North America cold blob becomes fully supported** Over in NA, we have missed the fun of 50 below intense air streams. Now we have one. I look first at mimic to see the speed of the front, then I look at the winds to see if it is backed up by laminar air flow. Finally, a look a the temperature. This duck has all three. But it is up against powerful heat flows from the Gulf and the west coast. Can it survive to freeze everybody? Stay tuned, or walk outside. :)
#physics #weather **Large storms continue to form and swim over to California** Looking at this mess only once a day, I now have no idea as to the sequence or who's who. This one looks to have a clear shot, right to Callie, and, as well, a new baby is born in the far west. A storm's energy is determined by the difference in temperature between the cold and hot streams. These storms are formed by intense cold entering the ambient warmth.
#physics #weather **UK gets the full blast** This is what I was talking about when I said they would get what they had last time. That's the 'full stream' pouring over them. Very nice winter pictures. Of course, this is 'extreme weather' predicted by 'clange'. I hope all their 'warm weather dancing' is keeping them warm. :)
#physics #weather **Washpost turns on forecasters**
“You have no idea come Dec. 1 what your winter is going to look like because our seasonal forecasts are so bad,” said Jeffrey Mount, a senior fellow with the Public Policy Institute of California’s Water Policy Center, in an interview. “They are just not reliable enough to make definitive water supply decisions.”
This is funny. And, of course, the guard turns to climate change, and 'they saw it coming all the time'.
#physics **3d printing with AI**

In a couple of years, the Good Dr. will be able to buy a 3d AI bobble-head of himself as a wizard. Right now, both AI art, and 3d printing are 'meh'. But, what great things can be done with it combined?
#physics #weather **Exxon Knew** This is conspiracy at its best. It implies that there is a table of evil-genius old men controlling the world. **In reality, they are stupid as dirt.** They were just 'riding the hockey stick' and over-extrapolating like everybody at the time. It's like ratcheting up the roller-coaster and extrapolating to the stars. Everybody does that, and the swoop down is always surprising. The actual world temperatures from NOAA show the rise to 2016. This is then shown as their 'accurate projections'. I'm not saying it's wrong in an influencer sense. They made a lot of money on this. Good for them!
Descended from Unix freaks, I evolved to Linux. Some people might consider me old at 60+, but I'm suing the world to get my age down to 30.
I have a blog https://ontario-geofish.blogspot.com/
and it is read by 8 people. My formal education is in an extinct branch of science called geophysics. Since there was no money in it, I went to engineering. I've done tunnels, radwaste thingies, etc.
