**New doomer story** This article was written by an AI. Let's calculate the percentage success of doomer stories -- zero! All doom, like covid, has come out of the blue.

**Beautiful Spring with no house sales** Nothing in the neighbourhood. Everybody expects the gov't will pump again.

#weather **Sea ice and snow cover** This should all be shrinking rapidly now.

ps. the UK might have to wait a bit.

#weather #gardening **Toronto Mini-drought** After endless rain, we get warm, dry, sunny weather. I'm less of a grouch, and in the garden all day. I have my drip hose on all day now. We are planting the early crops of peas and potatoes.

**The end of paparazzi** I'm thinking of a drone where the entire body is built around a giant Canon lens. Much like a Warthog is built around the giant gun....

#weather **Nice chart to make people happy** I don't put any physics here because this is a graphical trend line. The reference is from Copernicus and is in all the news today. This is a new trend line, and continuously changes as a 'living model'.

**NEXT!**

**Hallmark Movie** They never show the part when she gets cabin fever.

**Yeah, more songs coming out**

#physics #weather **Spring for Toronto** This is the physics definition of spring -- the Pacific air coming right over the mountains, wringing itself dry, and pushing away all the cold. You can now plant the peas.

**Whew!** One a day is getting the number up again.

#physics #weather **Guardian touts the wonky chart**

Just to show I don't make up charts, the guard has gone with the chart that I thought they would never use. Read all about it, it's absolutely true.

#physics #weather **Heating degree days** Here's a chart that gives a good indication of the 'warmth' of the weather. We have been getting warmer since we pulled out of the very cold 1800's. The recent warm cycle gave us a break in the heating bills, and now we are going back to the 1800's. Or, you could look at the chart anyway you want to.

#physics #weather **Arctic ice volume up** We can see that there is something funny going on. This also explains the other ocean temp chart.

#physics #weather **The oceans are boiling** This is the chart that was used earlier to 'prove' the oceans are super-hot. Now, the chart has gone ballistic and nobody is using it. The problem with the chart is that the surface area it is using isn't constant. Area drops off as the oceans freeze. We are very high because the Arctic ice is slower this year to melt back.

#physics #weather **Sunny Spring hits Toronto** Such a gloomy few months. Should be able to get the peas planted in the garden now. Although the Arctic air is still hanging over us, the Pacific plumes are charging straight in, which gives us dry air. This is our physics-definition of Spring and should wipe out all the cold air.

**Cups to cover cities in dust** Think of all the extra car washing!

#physics #weather **Plumes changing in the Pacific** It's still a slashing pattern, but there is penetration in W. Canada. This is what we want for Spring, a straight-west penetration that moves out the cold Arctic air.

#weather **Montreal ice storm** We just got tons of rain in Toronto.
