#physics #weather **Europe besieged by cold air** Being hit from all sides. End of the warmie dance. You do physics, or you don't. I just read a magnificent article denouncing all this physics stuff. The best influencer ever, and so, I am a tiny bit more quiet today.

#physics #weather **Calicanes -- three bags full** Three calicanes still stuck on approach. The cold gyre has moved down to Hawaii, making room for another storm to form. Rain for another month, at least.

#physics #weather **California** Just had a grandson chat on the ammie thing. They are in endless rain, sometimes an inch an hour. One side effect is that there are potholes on the main highway that can swallow your car. She blew out two tires, and you can't avoid them being sandwiched between two trucks. Luckily, she has the 'run flat' tires so you can limp home, but the downside is that they are tough to replace. The common idea is that it's all over in a week, and I said 'yes' to their hopeful faces. Really, it's a 96 year record broken. I'm not telling them they have weeks of more rain.

**Populist Science** I am so happy to be on qoto, which is definitely not populist. I really thought it would all be destroyed by now, and I was wrong. I enjoy 'Populist Science' but I enjoy the Scientific Method more, but that's for another day. I still think I have as many readers as my blog (breaking into double digits!) and that's ok. I attribute the fact that the populists have stopped using 'lazy rivers' for the California disaster, to somebody reading me. **Don't shatter my dreams!** I'm signing off for the morning, since my brain has to go into the deep dive for sleep tonight.

#physics #weather **Siberian cold stream moves in on Europe** That air is 60 below, maybe colder, and is controlling the N-hemi weather right now. The MIMIC shows how fast the front is moving. Ukraine at 60 below will be a 'cold war'.

#physics #weather **Exxon Knew** This is conspiracy at its best. It implies that there is a table of evil-genius old men controlling the world. **In reality, they are stupid as dirt.** They were just 'riding the hockey stick' and over-extrapolating like everybody at the time. It's like ratcheting up the roller-coaster and extrapolating to the stars. Everybody does that, and the swoop down is always surprising. The actual world temperatures from NOAA show the rise to 2016. This is then shown as their 'accurate projections'. I'm not saying it's wrong in an influencer sense. They made a lot of money on this. Good for them!

#physics #weather **Still 3 storms** This view shows that the storms are drifting down the coast. They are deflected by the mountains, and extreme cold. They have no mames and no ratings because they don't exist in the groupthink. They've been generated and driven by extreme cold.

#physics #weather **California parade of storms** At least they've stopped calling them rivers. Calicane #2 has impaled itself on the Aleutian volcanoes, and is stuck. There are now two monster gyres in both oceans. All is chaos.

#linux **Bluetooth mouse** When it goes glichty and stutters, just turn it off and on again. Took me a long time to find that advice, and it really works. I swear there's a leak in the driver.

#physics #weather **If you believe in fairies...** State of the Ocean -- I do this when I get the ocean currents. If you are really, really, hoping for an end to the Pacific Cold Phase, then you would expect to see a reversal by now. Momentum is a bitch.

pps. from my blog "Our good friends, the influencers have turned an Einstein thing on its ear. Instead of "That which cannot be measured, does not exist." goes to "That which we do not measure, does not exist." These are the biggest energy events the world has seen, and they will not be measured.

ps. NOAA has absolutely no statement on the US December temperatures. It was way below half.

#physics #weather **Warmest years continue to march down the line** The PR department must play the hand it is dealt.

#physics #weather **North America** For NA, we are getting a nice cooling lobe being pushed away by the Calicanes coming over the mountains. In Toronto, we are far enough away to enjoy the storms -- better than 20 below!

#physcs #weather **Doubling down on the 'stiver' thing** The biggest cyclones the wold has seen are still rivers/storms, with not ratings. This is the world without physics.

**Massie gold rush** I got an offer from a competitor. I responded that I don't pay for creative content, and don't get paid for mine. It's the new thing. I'm glad I'm retired. :)

#physics **Hydrogen 10 times more dangerous** We had nothing but hydrogen explosions at the old company.
