#physics #weather **Europe winds a mess**
You can see that a hot plume is trying to horn in on the cold action. This is true chaos.

#physics #weather **Bizarre clockwise river gyre* It's a river gyre of ice, that I've seen a few times. No rain or heat in it. Meanwhile, Calicane #2 has tightened to something like a Cat4 hurricane, but we'll never see an official rating. Again, the size makes it Cat5 or more. It should rake the coast from Alaska on down.

#physics #weather **NOAA world temp plot down** This is boring and requires no thought on my part. People will read it how they want to.

It's almost noon here, and I have to turn off my brain, so I can sleep. I'm signing out, and leaving this. They are mixing storms and rivers. Stivers? Rivorms? The fun never stops. :)

#physics #weather **Happy Toronto** Not quite California-grade, but fun for us.

#physics #weather **Siberian Freeze** This is only funny because it's the washpost, and last year Siberia was the poster-child for selected 'heat stories'. If you look at the temp anomaly map, you warm and colder than normal spots. **'Those who lack nuance'** just zoom into the warm spots for their stories.

#physics #weather **North America just gets mucky weather** Yeah for us! the Calicanes are just spilling warm air over the mountains. We have a bit of a 'clipper' and then muck. We can dance and go 'La La' that's there's no winter for us.

#physics #weather **Calicanes now beyond Cat 4 hurricanes** Probably Cat 7. Take these hurricanes and throw them off the coast of Florida. What do you see? No hurricane planes available, they can't be given a 'Magnitude'. **They don't exist,** according to the dogma. They are just 'lazy rivers'. **La La.** And endless more are going to be formed. This is the 'ice cycle' coming to bite you. :)

#physics #weather **UK gets the big freeze** I was expecting a narrow jet down the length, but it has curved around and hit with a full broadside. The Arctic headpond (blob of cold air) is still spilling down the spill gates.
-note: with all dams there are spill gates and channels to lead flood water safely away. It is bad to overflow the dam.
--note2 - all spills are still powerful

#physics ##weather **Calicanes fill the whole Pacific** In our last episode, we were left wondering if new 'things' that cannot be named, were still being produced at the chocolate (storm) factory. It's nuanced. Looks like a new baby could form if only the big sisters got out of the way, and visited Ellen.

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

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

#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.

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.

#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.

#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.
