Um, so, so, um, so yeah, so what I was, what I was indicating is that over the last half a month or so, we've been seeing a cooling of the stratosphere. It's been, so aloft, the polar vortex is represented within the stratosphere. It's been increasing in coldness and strength, however you want to define that. I would just say it's getting colder and broader. And downstream for us, again, there isn't always necessarily a direct immediate correlation, but we might see something in mid-December where all of a sudden the tropospheric polar vortex suddenly intensifies significantly and gets displaced, and all of a sudden the Canadian prairies or somewhere else is subject to some really, really unseasonably cold weather for December. So just keeping an eye on that. And it'll be very broad. It'll affect much of North America if that happens. It just depends on what happens. And I don't know. The models are sort of wonky at this point in time. So there we go. One last thing I should mention. There's also something called a sudden stratospheric warming and that's basically the opposite of a cooling trend and what you can have is like an explosive warming event there's there's number of reasons for it you'll get this explosive warming in the in the stratosphere and that'll basically collapse the polar vortex and that can also trigger some extreme cold snaps to the curb because well what will basically happen is everything oh it's It's sort of like the cold dome effect, but because you have the sudden warming, instead of the cold becoming so broad and great it destabilizes itself, you have the sudden warming, which creates an imbalance in the system and also swings the vortex around within the troposphere. So again, it's sort of weird to explain, it's not easy for me to explain because there isn't direct linkage, but if there is a consequence, we typically see it 15-20 days down the road from when we see these warming events, if that makes sense. The A3VWX, we can send it back. I'm sorry I missed your call sign. I'll send it back to you in BC.
