#weather **Toronto snow** Still very heavy snow. The Pacific patterns are completely changed, so I don't know if we'll keep having this.

Yeah, glad I'm not young...

#physics #weather **Greatest spin ever** Tip your hats to the noaa spin doctors. They have ignored that Feb was below their median. Perhaps 30th warmest!

#physics #weather **Toronto gets hit again** Tired of the UK complaining about snow-shark tornados? Think of us in Toronto.

**Balloon Warfare** Ukraine has balloon tanks to waste Russian missiles. China sent a 10 buck balloon to cost the US a million bucks. At any moment, China could send over a thousand balloons, claiming they are delivering fidget spinners. We need balloons to defend ourselves.
The defence balloons (db) would have tiny Chinese lasers aimed by AI. They would all have PGP, like freemo, to confirm identity. When required, they would pop the enemy balloons. What could go wrong? ...

#physics #weather **California Sog** The mechanisms have changed in the Pacific, but there is still rain.

**Freemo to install 50Tbit/sec ethernet** There is no mention of what cable can support this. I find it impossible to upgrade to 10gbit/sec on my system. Perhaps we all have to go to fiber.

#physics #weather **The endless pain of betrayal** The Church of Science declaries La Nina dead, and yet, it lives. People on CBC (Canadian leftwinger channel) are really mad at me for detecting a heartbeat....

#physics #weather **Another perfect snowstorm to hit Toronto** Charles can't get any A-listers, but we're constantly getting A-list storms. Must be another 100 year record broken, or broken record...

**I'll be there with my spoons**

#physics #weather **A perfect winter for solar cells** Ontario scored lowest for solar and wind in the old maps, when I started out. Now it is back in the record books.

#physics #weather **This parrot is dead**
It's official, El Nino is dead. Their definition is based on standard weather effects (pressure, temp, etc). I shall jump up and down and say **"Not dead, yet!"** and wait for the bonk on the head.

#physics #weather **Tide trends finally updated** I was giving up on this. You can tell the temperature of the oceans by looking at the small signals of the tide gauge. This one is Astoria, which is the only one I have found which is steady with regard to the distance to the centre of the earth. All other places are either sinking or rising.
This month has a sharp drop down, which reflects world temperatures, all controlled by the oceans. The Great Canard is noaa's contention that sea levels are rising. Bull-crap! The only places where local sea level is rising are carefully chosen sites where there is coastal sinking, due to tectonic forces. The Pacific islands are either active and rising (lots of volcanism) or sinking, and forming coral atolls. I'm going to visit there soon. Good snorkeling means sinking.

#physics #weather **NOAA US temp plot** On this plot they just do the month. This is reasonable because of the seasons. They then go on to do it for the world, which is not reasonable -- part of the Great Fantasy, or groupthink.
I laugh at their PR department who must make this appear to support climate change. They do that by constantly changing the semantics. For a long time, they could always say 'Hottest Ever', and now, during our ice cycle, they had a succession of '2nd hottest, 3rd hottest', etc, every year. When they got to 10, they changed to 'top third'
This month is so beyond that, they normally don't say anything. I don't even think it's 'top half'.
Like a Ponzi scheme, the great fantasy is supported by circular arguments. Lay down a supposition that co2 affects the weather, then produce models that incorporate this, to 'prove' it. Only look at things which support it, only do headlines for the fewer and fewer heat waves in the world. And so on. It's great, and I fully support it!! No denial here....

#weather **Another UK headline** You have to pay to view the article.

#physics #weather **North America has default weather** It's important to understand this concept: When there are no major ocean breezes, we are in 'default' mode, which is dry weather, the temperature depending on latitude. In the summer, this is hot, dry weather, and we'll get a lot of short heatwaves this summer. That will be sufficient to keep up the Great Fantasy.

**Canadians Fully Exposed** I think every company has the backdoors open.

#physics #weather **The Great Arctic Reversal** I think of Europe as the 'Grasshopper and the Ant' story. They danced in the early winter as Siberia got all the cold, and now it's Instant Karma. The entire world is the system.

#weather **UK cold** Sorry, I just like 'Cold UK' stories. All I think is -- Man, that's as cold as Toronto!

#gardening **Tomatoes started** In Toronto, I've started the tomatoes for the lights. After sprouting in a flat, I transfer them to the dollar-store 2 inch cells in a pack. I find they get root-bound, and I can hold them for a while at a perfect state, if the outdoor planting is delayed. If you put in deeper soil, they can go spindly, and never recover, especially if you have to trim them.
