**Long video of plume that gave Toronto all the snow** May not repeat for a while, at least 2 weeks, maybe.

**Toronto heavy snow** A foot of the heaviest snow imaginable. I had to borrow the neighbour's heavy machine, as my city-bred machine couldn't hack it. I did his driveway, as well. The luxury of a full snowblower.

**Magnificent storm comes to Toronto** There are two views: first is mimic which shows the ocean plumes and the main energy. The second is the standard weather view of winds, low pressure, etc. The energy view is the best for physics. The weather people hang on to their entertaining stories, since they have to eat.

**Spencer world temp plot skids along the bottom** This is a reviled plot amongst the influencers but is the same as the NOAA plot, which has to be constructed, so it can be ignored.

**World heat flow** Due to attacks on geophysics (not me) I am in a funk, and will only do these when the ocean currents come out. Summary - Europe cold, Australia wet.

The gulf stream is still erratic, but the Pacific is stone-cold solid. We're not hearing any more on how El Nino will come any day now. I think they'll just slink away, as usual.

**Unusual plume pattern** The Pacific plumes are slashing down when they hit NA, and this always brings up the Gulf warm air. Over by Iceland, the plumes are once again penetrating to the North Pole. This breaks up the cold air mass, but pushes cold air elsewhere.

**Of soot** This is neat stuff, but very basic physics. The nanoparticles of soot are nastiest stuff in the world, but humans evolved with it, since they invented fire. That's why I always laughed at the nanoparticle doomer stories.

**Harmonic resonance** Or you could just call it resonance. This is the cause of most failures, because it isn't easy to analyse. I find most people treat it without the laws of physics.

*Engineers with the company and other organizations developed a solution to mitigate “a rare system phenomenon involving harmonic resonance” in the engines, which is expected to clear the way for newly-built F-35s and other affected fighters to fly again, the JPO said in a statement Friday.*

**Back to the future**

*San Bernardino County lies east of Los Angeles County, where the first mountain blizzard warning since 1989 was scheduled to take effect at the same time.*

My hypothesis has us travelling back in time to 1970-1997 when the first monster El Nino took place. Then we zoomed up in temperature to 2016, and crashed after that. In 1983, the pipes froze in my old house.

**S. turk develops its own mechanism** It has its own right-angle fracture mechanism, like the big one, but on a smaller fractal scale. This area should have another m6 or 7 soon.

**Chaos rules** Plume systems are a big mess. No predictions today...

**Efforts failed to support geophysics** RSS is moving to yearly plots instead of monthly. That's like having earthquake info yearly. I guess we'll live with this 'getting warmer' stuff for many years now.

**Standard Pacific plume hit on NA** This is our normal winter, with the plumes hitting up north, and coming down with a snowy, cold clipper. This winter, we had endless weird stuff.

**UK stuck in a gyre** It should be getting colder in Europe.

**California dreaming of a blizzard** They are getting a direct shortcut of cold.

**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. :)

**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.
