Thanks, Kenny. It confirms what I told you about anticyclonic flow around high pressure systems. I'm glad you agree that Wharf Rat was blowing smoke out of his ass. That smoke is probably what is being observed in the Dakotas. Bad news: BC/Alaska drought will continue all winter (especially along coasts). State of Washington will be below normal, too. Good news: the quasistationary high being positioned further north opens the Pacific storm track to inundate California this fall and winter. These lows will track across southern US and up the east coast. With the polar vortex pattern in place, these southernly tracking storms will bring more snow to the SE U.S...from D.C. area down to North Carolina. Arctic ice will also continue to recover relative to average, which is the opposite of "downward spiral".

Smoke has been blowing out of the White House for a long time too... WASHINGTON — Health insurance companies around the country are seeking rate increases of 20 percent to 40 percent or more, saying their new customers under the Affordable Care Act turned out to be sicker than expected. Federal officials say they are determined to see that the requests are scaled back. Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans — market leaders in many states — are seeking rate increases that average 23 percent in Illinois, 25 percent in North Carolina, 31 percent in Oklahoma, 36 percent in Tennessee and 54 percent in Minnesota, according to documents posted online by the federal government and state insurance commissioners and interviews with insurance executives. Smoke has been blowing as far south as Tennessee, with a thick haze extending through much of North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, eastern Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri.
