After a stunning early season display of cold and snow never witnessed this early in living memory. Soon all the cold and snow will be a distant memory as our mid-latitude belt warms as the North Atlantic and Arctic Oscillation transition to a more comfortable positive mode, a pattern which promises to spread oceanic warmth across both North America and Europe. Places like Great Britain and the lowcountries may be in for a few strong windstorms as Atlantic depressions ride the zonal flow.

However, this warming will last only several weeks I believe before another flip to negative commences perhaps by early to mid-December if not earlier.

Between late October and early December, we may witness much of the USA, southern Canada, UK, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Poland, Denmark and much of Europe WARMER-THAN-NORMAL but this isn’t something to get excited about and may have teacherous, shivering consequences down the road to the exact places that enjoy warmth.

When folks walk around Amsterdam, London, even Oslo or from Billings to New York in short sleeves and tell themselves, hum, so much for the onset to a brutal winter, don’t smirk too soon..

The Arctic will be using that 6-8 week period to build it’s sea ice and cold air. With a record low solar cycle in progress, weak to possibly moderate El Nino, cold Pacific Oscillation with it’s horseshoe of cold and a colder than in many years, North Atlantic, all the right ingredients are there for when that NAO and AO flips, it will discharge an Arctic air mass that will send everyones minds away from global warming and straight to the coming of an new ice age…

I believe December through January promises to bring bitter cold and snow to much of the highly populated and industrial strongholds of the planet. Europe, North America and east Asia may see one of their worst displays of winter in the last 50 years!! This event may be unlike 2006 when Alaska and Russia saw one of their worst cold spells in 100 years, will be much more widespread.

Great Britain, must be preoared for widespread snow and extreme cold that their not used to.. Glasgow, Edinburgh and Amsterdam will take a run at records with several days below freezing and nights with snow cover and clear skies, lows will plummet to their lowest levels in the last decade!
