It's been a very mild November over most of the nation with temps running well above normal. "The vortex" is currently working on the eastern hemisphere. And we are getting an Indian summer. In the 50s today ... and will be dropping.

Welcome to Texas. The power grid will be OK this time, lessons learned? |

Welcome to Texas. The power grid will be OK this time, lessons learned? This time of the year it's just not that cold in Texas. Even in the Panhandle. So 15-20 degrees below normal is still above freezing for a large portion of the Lone Star State. After this summer of death the grid will breath a collective sigh of relief as most of the air conditioners will get a well needed break! |

Welcome to Texas. The power grid will be OK this time, lessons learned? Yes, lessons were learned. But as far as acting on them... so far I think mostly a lot of people have bought generators (seriously, the wait just to get an appointment was insane...). |

Could the Hunga Tonga stratospheric water vapor be capping our cool side. Would be nice to have a weekly(?) database showing 500 bar placement with the temp overlay. earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/500hPa/overlay=temp/orthographic=-108.37,76.72,307/loc=-108.359,10.162 |

I am finding the effects of Honga Tonga amazing and interesting.
Most volcanoes eject massive amounts of ash and sulfates into the atmosphere.
Honga Tonga ejected massive amounts of H2O into the Stratosphere!! This is a once in a lifetime experience. We could measure the increase of +15%. There isn't a radiative gas that comes close to H2O vapor qualities. Papers published shortly after the eruption predicted a change in Jet stream, an increase in temperature etc etc.
H2O in the stat also affects ozone, which is critical in jet stream placement.
CERES data, which I am trying to figure out, has indicated an increase in SW radiation. Along with the increased H2O in strat, the results have been warming.
I wish I was younger, just so I would be somewhat assured I would live long enough to experience the whole picture.

At the start of a cold period. Like they didn't want the experiment to end.  |

I installed a fireplace back in those days ... hardly used after the 'Coming Ice Age' scare. |

More references to the 1970s. Maybe dig that heater out Ratty.
The Russian capital of Moscow is facing an extraordinary ‘black blizzard’, a weather pattern typically seen in the country’s Far North. Severe weather in the capital started overnight, resulting in heavy snowfall and reduced visibility to approximately 100 m (328 feet), with the situation expected to persist until Tuesday, November 28, 2023.
Moscow has already witnessed 35% of its monthly precipitation average, leading to considerable challenges in city operations.
Russia’s Hydrometeorological Center cautioned that this could be one of the strongest November snowfalls in Moscow’s history.
The capital last experienced extreme end-of-autumn weather like this back in 1977.

Not a November from the the 1970's but my part of the world (SE Texas) will be below average. First month below average since May.
