Our projected coming return of serious cold and blizzards and retreat
of standard Met from current models and the preceding events on Sun
and in stratosphere is getting really exciting.

Hmm it's interesting how you now link to the 70hPa chart today, whereas you
linked to the 30hPa chart in your post yesterday evening. Is this because
the 30hPa chart is showing the same downturn in temperature as was evident
on the 10hPa chart yesterday?

SSC anyone?
