For those of us near the Great Lakes This will work out. Just think when the cold air finally comes over the nice warm water what will happen. It will be Heaven on Earth.

Yeah for all of 3 weeks

yeah but the ground is sooo warm it really wont stick.

So how does one build high pressure over greenland? I figure if a bunch of guys put their head together and got the nytro to handle, anything is possible!!!

I am a pretend meteorologist, but to create a Greenland High, LOTS of snow and cold air needs to be bred in the Arctic (over Siberia). This creates a temperature gradient (difference) between warmer air trying to drift up from the Pacific flow near the southern shore of Alaska, which creates instability (like warm lake water and cold air = lake effect) and low pressure systems (i.e. storms). These low pressure systems are followed by high pressure systems, since something like a vacuum is created when a low pressure system vacates. As the low pressure systems drift eastward they meet low pressure systems over Iceland. High pressure over the northern Atlantic gets trapped between the low pressure systems on either side. It's a common set up due to ocean currents delivering energy (heat) in the form of warm equatorial water north, cold air at the North Pole. Everything works in synchronization. Its really a neat phenomenon. However, many ingredients are required. And one ingredient being off throws the whole operation off kilter.

Big Black Warrior - you are way more qualified than I am on this topic...please offer any corrections to the above.
