#physics #weather **Standard Pacific plume hit on NA** This is our normal winter, with the plumes hitting up north, and coming down with a snowy, cold clipper. This winter, we had endless weird stuff.

**OMG, the snow!!* All blown away with a lot of carbon. Better for the environment than me dying. Such a bloated body to get rid of...

**Better than a kick in the head** That's what I usually say.... but...

**When bitcoin door closes, the AI window opens** Once again, you won't find a new graphics card.

#physics #weather **UK stuck in a gyre** It should be getting colder in Europe.

#physics #weather **California dreaming of a blizzard** They are getting a direct shortcut of cold.

**The slow bleed**

#weather **Toronto after the snow** Only about 2-3 inches.

#physics #earthquake **Ontario Earthquakes** The CBC turned it into a climate change thing. No physics whatsoever.

**UK -- No food, no warmth** They are getting hit by a perfect, cold-air gyre. No Beast from the East coming, just the usual Notwarm from the North....

**when you are old, things munch on you** This are warts, pure and simple. If you work on one, then you see classic wart seeds, evenly spaced apart. These are colonies of viruses. I slowly scrape them with a fingernail, but it has to rough and sharp. A little scraping will bring in oxygen, and a bit of blood. Then put Polysporin on it, for the slight pain.
It can take weeks, but they are gone, and their friends will find another spot. I also use Tea Tree Oil, which is the old man's friend. You can scrape them with a drop of this oil, works quite well.

#physics #weather **Screen snowsaver** Or the other way around. Very pretty if you live in the area. Sharpen your shovels, and take baby aspirin for the heart attacks. :)

ps. Turk is exactly the same as the Christchurch NZ earthquakes. That was a basin sinking with jagged faults. You can expect more as it fills out the whole basin. The main lesson there was that a building may look fine, but it collapses with the next smaller earthquake. That's why you should always have accelerometers to see if the building has softened.

#physics #earthquake **Latest Turk M6+ shows its fault zone** You can see how much smaller an M6 is to near M8's. However, the aftershocks are a straight line. If the rift walls are rigid, then we'll get another one off to the right. Probably in a week or two, and then it should tail off.

#physics **Limits to hypersonic missiles** Travelling at M9, they have to put on the brakes to get a target lock.

However, the missile may be 'vaporware'.

#physics #weather **Storm about to hit Toronto** You can see the full energy feed, as the cold collides with the warm.

**Building collapses without an earthquake** That takes some doing....

#physics #weather **Wild winds for Toronto** I was just out, walking the dog. She did not appreciate the dust storms where they had a water main break last week. Blah. This energy comes from the warm Pacific and Gulf air meeting the cold.

**The big OFF button**
