#weather **Toronto after the snow** Only about 2-3 inches.

**UK -- No food, no warmth** They are getting hit by a perfect, cold-air gyre. No Beast from the East coming, just the usual Notwarm from the North....

**when you are old, things munch on you** This are warts, pure and simple. If you work on one, then you see classic wart seeds, evenly spaced apart. These are colonies of viruses. I slowly scrape them with a fingernail, but it has to rough and sharp. A little scraping will bring in oxygen, and a bit of blood. Then put Polysporin on it, for the slight pain.
It can take weeks, but they are gone, and their friends will find another spot. I also use Tea Tree Oil, which is the old man's friend. You can scrape them with a drop of this oil, works quite well.

#physics #weather **Screen snowsaver** Or the other way around. Very pretty if you live in the area. Sharpen your shovels, and take baby aspirin for the heart attacks. :)

#physics #earthquake **Latest Turk M6+ shows its fault zone** You can see how much smaller an M6 is to near M8's. However, the aftershocks are a straight line. If the rift walls are rigid, then we'll get another one off to the right. Probably in a week or two, and then it should tail off.

#physics #weather **Storm about to hit Toronto** You can see the full energy feed, as the cold collides with the warm.

**Building collapses without an earthquake** That takes some doing....

#physics #weather **Wild winds for Toronto** I was just out, walking the dog. She did not appreciate the dust storms where they had a water main break last week. Blah. This energy comes from the warm Pacific and Gulf air meeting the cold.

**The big OFF button**

**Don't buy that whiskey!** It's all the rage in California. We got some for our Callie kids when they came home. A few steps down from Musk, but it's straight from the still. Burns like a sun of a glitch all the way down, and then explodes.

#physics #earthquake **Thrust at termination of rift** This indicates a very messing ending of the rifting for the large quake. Thrusts give the highest pgv pulses with the most damage. This is a classic '10 years of terror' scenario. I was expecting a large cross-fault like the upper fault to dissipate the end stresses.

#physics #weather ** Due to the Pacific air rolling over NA, everybody is saying what a mild winter we've had in Toronto. However, that air usually attacks the Arctic air mass, and it hasn't. The Arctic air is going back to 60 below, and so we'll have a very long winter.

#physics #weather **Classic Pacific Pinwheel** This pattern of the Pacific plumes always brings up warm air from the Gulf. This clashes with all the cold air and makes for a good snow storm in Toronto.

#physics #earthquake **New earthquake where I thought there was a stress imbalance** This is thrust in a rift, so I am flabbergasted. If it extends left and right, then it is what I predicted.

**Large mass of cold air still active** It seems to be warming from 60 to 50 below. The area above Iceland is closing in with cold.

**Ozone hole likes the cold** At 60 below, you better slap on extra sunscreen, if you are going sun bathing. There is also the temperature effect over Antarctica in their winter. I'm not saying it isn't chlorine, but that doesn't jibe in my solitary physics world...

**Wonderful 'old stock'** Very nice people, all of the same origin....

**Hackers there forever** This is what I expect for 90% of companies, and especially hospitals. I know their security. I would think that a smart hacker would use the mosquito approach, rather than the big blast. When those zero-exploits hit MS, a million people use it before the patch.

#physics #weather **More headlines**
Remember that all I say is in the hard world of physics, which is another parallel dimension to the doomers.
Climate -- getting colder
Ice Sheets - fine
Sea Level - steady

#earthquake **Rescue operations end, bulldozers take over** It happens with every earthquake, the rubble must be cleared. We can only guess at the total number dead, and it will probably be over 100,000.
