I think the bigger culprit is that the hurricane is temporarily removed from its latent heat engine. When Andrew made landfall it actually intensified as it crossed the Everglades due to an abundance of warm shallow water.

Nice evening kayak on the Humber River near Lake Ontario yesterday. The fall colours are really starting to come into the Toronto area now.

Some very warm weather in Eastern Ontario and Southern Quebec with temps into the mid 20s. The edge of the unsettled weather is now nosing into the GTA with a squall riding the leading edge of the cold front. High winds and local isolated damage possible #ONstorm

Small area of weak rotation up at the northern end of Georgian Bay, with a 'broken-S' signature showing up on Britt (CASBI) radar. #ONstorm

Frost risk for #Toronto proper and much of the #GTA again tonight. Iโ€™ve temporarily stuffed all the overwintering plants into the greenhouse. Iโ€™ll have to organize it in the coming days when I have some time. They should be able to go back outside tomorrow.

Fall Kayaking in Algonquin Park
YouTube video by vaughanweather Fall Kayaking in Algonquin Park

Had a fantastic 6-hour outing in Algonquin Park on Monday with my dog before the fall colours disappear. We explored two islands and five connected bodies of water. We cheated on lunch and brought McDonald's (the dog got his own fries!). ๐ŸŸ

Thereโ€™s strong support at the moment, I fear that for many Americans when they realize what has occurred it may be too late if it gets to that point.

The only motivational factor might be economic hardship, thatโ€™ll be the motivation, not any social or political awakening.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist at all but... hear me out.

Last time there was a shooting, Trump surged in the polls.

The Epstein thing is still going, and he's underwater, this Charlie Kirk thing is definitely going to pull the spotlight away..

Oh and the shot was not close range...

There are a couple close up videos and it'll be a miracle + science if be survives BUT I think he'll be a paraplegic - looks like serious spinal damage as the bullet passes through his neck.

I actually feel bad for the guy, never thought I'd say that but flat out murder is just wrong.

I don't know... see the video on Twitter? Definitely severed his spine after going through the artery in his neck. If he survives he'll likely be a paraplegic.

Hate creates more hate but no matter how much someone dislikes/hates him, flat out murder is inexcusable.

There are now 20+ Russian cruise missiles in Ukraine airspace. Heading across the country at the moment.

The Operational Command of the Armed Forces is monitoring the current situation, and its forces and resources remain fully prepared for immediate response.

weapons were deployed, and operations are underway to locate the downed targets. We emphasize that the military operation is ongoing and we appeal to everyone to stay at home. The most at-risk areas are the Podlaskie, Mazowieckie, and Lublin Voivodeships.

Please note: During today's attack by the Russian Federation targeting targets located in Ukrainian territory, our airspace was repeatedly violated by drones. An operation is underway to identify and neutralize the targets. At the behest of the Operational Commander of the Armed Forces,

Yeah wayyyy too early... I'm sure once it's daylight we'll have far more info.

If they were kinetically taking these drones down, they were doing it in unpopulated places. So it'll be a while before the farmers get out there and post photos.

The ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ military has yet to confirm any engagement but pretty reliable telegram channels are saying SAAB/F35 & F16 fighters have engaged and shot down several.

Also - this time they've gone pretty far into Polish territory if confirmed.

At some point they've got to stop with letters LOL.

Multiple platforms now report at least 7 known incursions of drones into Polish airspace and possibly several others into Moldovan airspace. Numerous NATO jets up in the air including AWACS and supporting (refueling) aircraft. Unconfirmed reports drones have been engaged by fighter aircraft over Pol

Orphan anvil, cumulonimbus cloud without continuing inflow / convection. Basically one puff up, rain / virga falling down and whatever else went up fanning out at the tropopause forming an anvil cloud. It'll soon just be a blob of cirrus cloud that'll evaporate / sublimate.
