Cold pattern for much of the east for the upcoming weekend.

The two “H’s” over Minnesota and over Illinois guarantee a sparkling weekend for many.

Anomalies in 3.4 Niño region grew from +1.7°C in July, top left, to +2.4°C in October, bottom left. Left chart is graphic representation of that increase.  Then compare left to right, similar but simpler than the chart in chapter 1 of the book, El Niño warming 2015 left, La Niña cooling 2010 to the right.

El Niño warming  29.1°C actual, +2.4°C anomaly, La Niña cooling  24.8°C actual, -1.9°C anomaly.  The difference is 4.3°C or 7.74°F almost 8°F or 85°F water compared to 77°F.
