#physics #weather **No Go El Nino** At this point, the end of January, we must declare the death of Mr. El Nino. Perhaps, some might want to go on for another couple of months?

**US lawsuits** Just reading on Teflon found in underwear. This is a universal contaminant because it doesn't react to anything, like a water molecule. It passes right through you. However, the trial lawyers saw easy prey and had a lab test it. They found teflon at an unstated concentration, could be one in a billion. The company immediately threw $5 mil at the them to go away.
Now, it's trans fats that I have been eating since I was born. All US companies will fall to this. In Canada, drugs are perhaps 10 times cheaper than in the US. That's because the liability risk there is 10 times more. The covid vaccines were sheltered from these lawsuits, and I expect more shelters or everything will go under.

**Tanks** This is fine news for the morning. It's the only counter to the Stalin technique of sending millions of poorly equipped canon fodder over the front.

#physics #weather **A perfect Alberta clipper** It's unusual to see the air flow so perfectly from the NW. The Arctic is starting another heavy cold flow through the Bering Str. This should push storms back to California.

#physics #weather **Europe blocks warm air** This is cute. The warm air from Africa is turning at Italy. The Siberian air keeps pouring in.

Ha, forgot this. More coffee!

#physics #weather **Snow** Snow for Toronto. It's still dark outside, and looking at this, I need another coffee...

**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.
