The weather may be relatively unexciting here in Western Europe these days but it’s a very different story in the East. In the last 48 hours, a major snowstorm has all but crippled the Murmansk area of far NW Russia as mild, moist Atlantic air has crossed Germany, Poland and bumped up against the wall of arctic air residing east of Finland.
The below GFS 2m temperature anomaly from Thursday shows the Atlantic air colliding with cold arctic air.
The result is this!
With further warm, moist/cold, dry collisions, expect further heavy snowfall in the coming days from Poland and Ukraine and Romania.
As we go through next week, the arctic cold pool regains ground over central and eastern Europe with an impressive southward progression of heavy, potentially disruptive snow.
GFS 5-day mean 2m temperature anomalies. UK remains mild.
