You’d think old man winter is trying to tease us when you see the exceptional cold that’s driven temps to -58C just east of the Urals while Arctic Scandinavia goes above freezing as Atlantic air floods the continent.

Note the contrast between above normal in Scandinavia while well below normal to the east of the Urals.

I’ve been closely watching the behaviour and movement of this Eurasia pattern and westward progression and intensification of the cold over Asia and wondered if something may be brewing for mid and late winter.

There’s been a lot of negativity myself and others regarding a cold pattern down the road but….
