Podium Design I don’t know, but that has to be the worst design for podiums ever….

Pro Fun Hey, Mr. Rich Guy, try this out, so we don’t have to….

#weather #physics 50 below air headed for Europe and Toronto The MIMIC shows us a standard winter pattern. The cold is blowing away the warmth. However, a huge collision (perfect storm) is setting up for Toronto.
Europe is a mess of winds, but the 50 below stuff is creeping in.

*This cat is dead!**

Whew! The Kiss of Death

#physics #weather Too cold for euro-football In Canada, we don’t have this problem. Right now, the full Siberian -60 air is flowing over Europe. Ground heaters don’t work at -60 :)

Tesla breaks in two I just think this is symbolic somehow….

#physics #weather #canada Canada gets cold blobs These are now following last year’s pattern. Progressively colder blobs coming down on us. They sweep the US, as well. The mimic gif shows the speed, and the static minimum temps show the severity.
I’m just sticking to Canada right now, Europe can have the influencers. :)

Madonna tickets at $6K The normal routine is to set a ‘social’ price of 20 bucks, then rig the system so that ‘certified resellers’ get them all. For these guys, like TS, they should just set all prices at $6000 each, then cut the prices every day. You wouldn’t destroy the Internet that way. :) I’m glad I’m too old for concerts, although if the real ‘skinny Elvis’ showed up, I might be tempted.

#physics #weather La Nina Forever I think someone tried to stop the tides once. It didn’t work out for him. The first picture is the usual fluff. The second is the ocean temps that haven’t changed for a year. The third is the latest ocean current gif, which hasn’t changed for a year. Someday, the influencers may ‘ghost’ this whole La Nina thing, and the poor Australians will be sucker-punched. :)

Beyond the Stupidity Defence This is the “Buffoon Defence” As in ‘Just because I’m waving a loaded gun around, doesn’t mean anybody thinks I’ll fire it”. This is fairly close to an insanity plea.

#physics #weather Siberian air finally hits Europe That cold air has been stopped many times by ocean plumes. Also, most of the plumes have been stopped in the Arctic, except for one from Siberia, which is pushing a cold-air blob to Toronto. Once all the plumes have stopped, it looks like the Arctic cool pool will start filling up again.

#physics Indoor air quality For those being forced to go back to work. From the experience of my neighbours, you’ll be back sick from covid a week later. I am impressed with a new generation of air quality monitors, at about $40 cdn. Quite the competition, so it will be going down.
I had the dubious honour of being in the first of the ‘new wave’ efficient office buildings in the 70’s. Many people had to quit their jobs because they got so sick. For huge floor of 500 people, they recycled all the air through cheap filters, and had an opening of less than a sq ft for fresh intake. It was a soup of disease.

#physics #weather Empty Arctic gets attacked by sharks The pattern this year has been for the Arctic to fill, like a pool, with extremely cold air, and then spill it all out in high-velocity channels. Now it is empty, and all the plumes are coming in. We don’t know if it will start the filling process again.

#physics #weather California Just to admit I was wrong, the big storms in the Pacific are still forming, but the path is now to Alaska. This brings Toronto a lot of NW clippers, very cold. However, the rain all bypasses callie, and they can be dry again. The mechanism is that the Arctic cold air well seems to have emptied again, and cold air through the Bering Str. isn’t pushing down the storms.
The Europe cold air streams seem to be done, but that might just bring in the 60 below Siberian stuff.

I like my predictions.

Going into resting phase now As someone just said, you use up all your juices and need to rest. The Great Story can go on without me for a while.
