The heat is contained where it is supposed to be at the higher latitudes of Earth, away from Antarctica. There is some minor transfer connected to the 'hot air' of the Pacific Islands including Indonesia, but, the 'vortex' I mentioned might be there is proven to be off Antarctica. However, it is not a 'hot storm.' It is the air coming off the ice over a warmer ocean current 'mixing' with the 'hot air spot' of the Pacific Islands.

It's hopeful, but, not conclusive. This might be a temporary 'weather' event and not a Climate Shift back to neutral over the Antarctica Ice Continent.

Vigilance and continuing on the path of reversing carbon dioxide levels is always the 'best' and 'most moral' path anyone can follow.

This system is not currently contributing to the Northern Hemisphere turbulence as 'Sol' has it's most intense rays at these lower latitudes.

 

This is still the 'hot spot' of Earth. The heat however is a bit contained over these Pacific Islands in relation to the ice continent. The next satellite above will prove that the temperature shift over Antarctica is real.

12 PM and 3 PM have been eliminated from the animated loop. There was a glitch last week at those times so it must be under repair.

With the northern traverse of the sun, the ice continent is cooling down quickly. Winds are picking up (click on). It would seem the winds are blasting in over East Antarctica driving the heat off the ice all the way to the Peninsula. As a result, the jet stream (click on) is impacted primarily offshore. Basically, as the higher heat is pushed off the ice cap there is turbulence over the ocean currents where there is more stable air. Vortices are more than likely the result.

The temperatures (click on) are demonstrating to take a severe turn toward frigid with the sudden movement of hot air off the ice. The coldest place today is Casey Airbase with a temperature of -84 C, while the nearest second is Vostok -62 C with humidity of 40%. The temperate areas are a few more in number, but, they are primarily freezing in their temperate nature. The warmest is Palmer Station at 2 C with 80% humidity.

This is moving into autumn and that is promising. Hopefully, the winter will prove to be very cold and 'ice forming' with lots of recharge.

The weather at Scott Base, Ross Ilsand, New Zealand, Antarctica (Crystal Ice Chime) is:

 

Snowed in, doesn't mean doing nothing but sitting it out.

It's important to always have access to emergency community services. When snow is this extreme due to Human Induced Global Warming, with repeated snow storms that literally bury a house in feet of snow, the occupants and the greater community cannot lose sight of the fact that access to emergency services is vital.

There is no way of knowing what occupants of a house are going through without contact to the outside world. There might be communication by internet and telephone but that does not insure the well being of everyone inside when feet of snow cut off access.

While, snow can seem like a lot of fun and should be, there needs to be a 'presence of mind' to also realize it's dangers.
