#physics #weather **Erratic weather** Extreme cold coming down for 1 day at Toronto. Then the Pacific air pushes it out.

**Severe wind shear** Western states get cold, Toronto gets summer. What will the media report?

#physics #weather **NOAA Haywood plot** This plot continues to go down.

#physics #weather **NOAA World temp plot** Remember that all the predictions of doom came from putting a straight line on that first rise. Each one of those other peaks came from some action in the Pacific. I don't see anything there now, so the temperatures will continue to go down.

#physics #earthquake **PGV from Turkey** My contention with convention is that PGV has all the importance with respect to damage. You can see incredible PGV at quite a distance. The only way you can survive this is a stiff building with deep helical piles. Convention would state the use of flexible structures.

*Bing is in love**

#physics #weather **Pacific Storm Factory** It's still at full blast, but the storms are not hitting callie. That change in the Gulf Stream is affecting the whole N. Hemi.

#physics #weather **Pacific Cold Phase** The influencers without physics, have the cold ending 'any day now'. You can see their forecast zooming up. NZ and Australia can put away their sandbags. Good times are back again! Tourists will come!
That's their hypothesis, and they'll never call it that. To cast a hypothesis means you can live with failure, and these people can't. My hypothesis has the cold phase going on for at least 20 years. When will they throw in the towel? Maybe never.

**Expect more accidents**

**Street racing crash** Right near us. They took out 3 poles and one transformer, and walked out of the car.

**cheap phone** Just got this. Wife plays these phone games and required one old phone to do 'housekeeping'. She burned out all my old phones. Got this.
I am amazed that it is as good as my Pixel 4, and her S20. The buttons don't fall out! Nice screen for the games. Nice photos. I can't find a thing wrong yet. Maybe it turns into a spy balloon?

**Overhead train wires no good for Canada** Yet, here we are.

#physics #earthquake **Turkey looks stable** Minor aftershocks. They are clearing the rubble, and will rebuild. I hope they invest in real concrete and deep helical piles. You can only build in the flats, and that amplified 10 to 100 times. You need piles and very stiff buildings.

#physics #weather **North America mild** The Pacific storms continue to hit Vancouver and spill dry, warm air over the mountains. Without the Arctic spill they would have their normal pattern of hitting the Yukon and dragging down cold air, as a clipper.

#physics #weather **New Zealand Storm** It's a direct hit.

#physics #weather **Gulf Stream unstable** It's like my dog's tail. Wagging down, now it is up.

#physics #weather The joy of a wind channel. This year, the Arctic air has decided to go through several wind channels, which open and close randomly. The big rains in Callie has a huge flow by Alaska. This is a smaller flow and may only soak north of callie.

#physics #weather Toronto is mild, from the tears of Vancouver. Those storms are hammering the west coast, and we get the dry warmth.

#physics #weather Finally back at home where I can type. New Zealand storm. This is the same type of prong as their last big rain, but it is curled. They should listen to the influencers that all this will be over soon -- ha ha.

#physics #weather New Zealand gets storm.
