🚨 Nerd Alert 🚨 Today’s date is not only a palindrome (the same front to back) but it’s also an ambigram which means it’s the same upside down as well!

Energy dependency on weather in a way I surely would not have expected (and a reminder that #renewables aren't the only ones dependent on weather; #natgas production and #LNG exports also are, to a lesser degree, though)...

#LaNina

So, #natgas now within "fundamentals" range - ready to rejoin that big blob around $3, overshoot below $3, or miraculously (!) stop its descent at "reasonable" price of $3.50 - $3.75?

The Great Lakes are still fairly warm, but definitely not as overwhelmingly as a month ago: glerl.noaa.gov/res/glcfs/lake…

Here's what happens poleward of the NH jet stream when it gets locked into a location way further north than usual for November.

You don't very often see such widespread high probability levels on the 8-14 day NWS Climate Prediction Center forecast. I'll be curious to see if it reproduces tomorrow - and what confidence rating the forecaster will give it in the text version (no text version on week-ends):

Nominating for a Twitter oscar. Category: Short thread.

I ended up not being the one supplying the answer - but this thread does end up answering why models often have ghost storms near the end of their range...

As several have already pointed out already, the #MJO is about to finally break through into the Pacific and resume normal progression. Looking at upper-level divergence, it seems to be able to do so as the #LaNina standing wave ("Low") weakens, and MJO takes over.

What a waste of energy, for something that would be so deflationary (and therefore destructive) if broadly adopted as a currency, that it can only be a niche speculation #Bitcoin $BTC

CHECK THIS OUT! Current satellite shows the fresh snow fall from yesterdays storm 🛰. You can see the snow beginning to melt on the southern side as temperatures warm to above freezing in Iowa and Nebraska. ❄

Whether we see a HH #natgas gap up on Sunday evening will be indicative of speculator sentiment, and whether that sustains on Monday will show whether real market participants think a more likely year-end cool-down still matters for this winter.

This is one of the more insightful papers I've read lately. QBO-MJO relationship is unique to MJO b/c it's more active wrt equator, more vertically coherent than other equatorial waves, & most active when the TTL is climatologically coolest/most unstable journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/…

Snow Squall warning for Calgary - not that common (more common downwind of the Great Lakes). Actually only light-to-moderate intensity here, just South of Nose Hill #ABStorm

Brought the beer, the white wine and the red wine from the garage. Ready for the deluge! #ABStorm weather.gc.ca/warnings/repor…

#Bitcoin going down, #natgas going up. What could go wrong for #crypto mining?
