Although I don't see any sign of recession, this is actually a sign, which I just saw, and haven't processed yet. :)

@freemo Sorry this has died. I had a million of them popping up for liberal excess.

**Big US airline computer outage** Sometimes you can't tell the difference between an attack and stupidity. The big US blackout was both.

@MBoodenAK A narrow air jet will form curls on both sides. Here, the east side spits out self-contained hurricanes to California, and the west side forms clockwise-spinning blobs of cold air that will just die.

#physics #weather **Arctic spill hits Scotland** Within hours, the high-intensity cold air stream has pushed back the weak plume, and is starting on the UK. I was looking at these things only once a day, but everything is happening so fast right now.

@MBoodenAK You are right. A forced clockwise rotation would contain cold air (high pressure), and could not form a storm. I'm expecting this thing to blink out, and the rebound will form a new storm. However, these are all traditional definitions of the weather tribe. :)

ps. These are Cat2-4 hurricanes if you just look at them, caused by intense cold. But the weather people are stunned. They don't what to call them. If they call them cold-formed hurricanes, then it cracks the groupthink a little. So, they won't define them.

#physics #weather **Formation of a storm**
Called typhoons in the Pacific, hurricanes in the Atlantic, or 'Big Ass Flooding" in California'. To get a storm, you need curl, then a cold and hot feed. On the Atlantic belt, the traditional hurricane gets its curl from 'tropical waves' which are like breaking waves from the sea. Right now, the California storms get their curl from a narrow spill of cold air slamming into a churning hot air mass. There are more to come to California, all caused by intense cold. It can only be made worse by earthquakes which can be triggered by high water tables. Although this has happened many times before (never rains but it pours), this is the first time that satellites are watching.

@MBoodenAK Ok, the first zoom-in is from yesterday. It shows the forming of storm#2, and the baby storm, clockwise. Picture 2 shows the baby storm more defined (from today). Just south of Tokyo. We don't know what will happen to the poor little thing.

#physics #weather **Europe to soon freeze** That's only if the pattern of last time repeats .. most likely. The narrow, intense streams of cold air are 'spills' from the Arctic headpond of 50 below air. The spills are defined by topography. If the warm air from the tropical plume is pushed back, then UK gets the same freeze as last time. The cold air will drift over Europe. However, things change, just yesterday there was a perfect storm factory in the North Atlantic, but all the other spills have destroyed it. In about a week or so, the headpond will have drained, and start to build up again, just like those tip buckets at the splash pool.

@MBoodenAK I put out the term 'storm factory' after astronomy's 'star factory'. The storm factory put out a perfect string of storms to hit California like hurricanes. No 'atmospheric rivers' here. The mechanism was an intense stream of very cold air. It dove into the warm air mass and carved out a storm. Within a day, the storm was huge. Now the factory is changing. There is a little 'pre-storm' or baby storm south of Japan on the wind chart, but it is spinning the wrong way. It probably won't thrive.

#physics #weather **Explanation of terms that I make up** There are no common terms in a world run by influencers without physics, so I am guilty of making terms up. I don't know who else would do that...
**Cold air blob** Since 2016, the equatorial ocean belts have lost their ability to be the heat engines of the world. This has resulted in world temperatures plunging, as we go to a new ice age. However, we've got a while to go with many new phenomena. The 'cold air blob' or 'air glacier' appeared a few years ago on the MIMIC plots. This was the first 'Texas Freeze'. It is defined by a huge lobate front of clear, cold air. It descends like a glacier.
**Arctic Spill** The Arctic is a full object in physics terms. It has mass, density, and an ability to smash things. The Jet stream doesn't have any of that. This just started last year. I envision the Arctic air as being a full headpond, held in by surrounding elevation. The spills are narrow, intense outpourings of cold air, visible on the global wind charts. This year, 'Texas Freeze 2' was a spill. When all spillways are opened, the Arctic air drains in a week, and Europe has warm air again. But the headpond keeps filling.
**Intense Zones** I just made this up. Without ocean breezes (plumes) we have 'northern desert weather'. That means zones being solar furnaces. These stories keep everything going.
**Ocean plumes** Violent convection throughout the whole atmosphere stops any concept of 'greenhousing'. It ain't a greenhouse without glass. These plumes cast off from the equatorial belts and give us all our rain and heat.

#physics #weather **Big day for headlines**
The chart shows ocean temperatures. Warm water always floats to the top (unless freezing). I couldn't figure out the article.

#physics #weather **El Nino promised for this year** The influencers have written a huge article without a speck of physics. I want a long summer at the cottage this year, not a short, super-hot one.

#physics #weather **Storm factories go nuts** We now have a full Arctic spill at all points. This should last a week or two before the whole place is drained. Europe will soon get the spills, and the new baby storm in the Pacific has a rare clockwise spin.

#physics #weather **US national December plots down** NOAA has a great game to make the results not so bad. For the past few years, they have said '3rd warmest' then '4th', etc. If it got beyond 10, then they would say 'top third'. This month, it isn't even 'top half', maybe 'top 3/4'. We have to see what they say. Note that the main plot is just past Decembers because of seasonal effect.

**Poots scares the West** Millions of soldiers crawling out of trenches, russian or chinese. They always counted on tactical nukes for that. No conventional weapons can cope.
