The Antarctica Wind Chime

Pacific Global Satellite.

In all these satellite pictures there is some minor air exchange between the higher latitudes and the Antarctica Ice. That has resulted in higher temperatures, near zero, but at the same time it is not so overwhelming that the continent is still above zero. This is the most pleasant I have seen the troposphere in a long time. It's still winter in Antarctica.

Africa - Europe Global Satellite.

Here again there are vortices over the Atlantic Ocean in the Northern Hemisphere still talking it's toll on the Artic Ocean but the Antartica Continent is a happy ice continent today.

I like to see that nice healthy separation between equator aire and Antarctica aire. Nice.

Western Hemisphere Global Satellite.

The Arctic Ocean is still under the influences of Northern Hemisphere vortices. But, the Southern Hemisphere is looking better than it has in a long time.

12:00 AM. Antarctica.

It's fairly warm. (Click on) Not the hottest of temerpatures around the continent. All appear to be below zero if just bearly with still some very much below zero. It's nice to have the entire continent below freezing. It speaks to the sequestered status of the Anrtarctica Vortex to the continent without the extension to latitudes approaching the Tropic of Capricorn.

Celina, Texas.

Photographer states :: This storm went up fast and very high because of daytime heating and a frontal boundary draped over the area. But with the lack of upper level support, the updraft collapsed and rushed toward the ground, picking up speed as it met the rain falling beneath. The result was severe wind and many blown over trees in McKinney, Texas. I'm shooting the event from my house in Celina, just to the northwest.
