When high-magnitude meteorological hazards impact vulnerable human populations, disasters are the inevitable consequence. Through archaeological and historical evidence, this book investigates how these sudden and unpredictable events affected British medieval populations (AD 1000-1500). Medieval society understood disasters in a practical sense and took steps to minimise risk by constructing flood defences and reinforcing structures damaged by storms. At the same time, natural hazards were widely interpreted through a framework of religious and superstitious beliefs and a wide variety of measures were followed to secure protection against the dangers of the natural world. Disasters, therefore, were interpreted through a duality of understanding in which their occurrence could be the result of spiritual or superstitious triggers but practical solutions were a key component in mitigating their tangible impacts. In evaluating this duality, this book focuses on specific case studies and considers both their diverse historical contexts as well as their consequences for society against the backdrop of significant demographic and climatic change—as a result of the Black Death and the transition to the Little Ice Age.

AO- In Dutch we say 'voorgeschiedenis'. The setting before we get an easterly is indeed not good for cold later on.

I think it is time to watch the stratosphere closely. GFS0h delivers a split, combine this with a blocking in NW-Europe and you get downwelling till the end of march, start of april.

You can clearly see where the bulk of the cold is..eastern Europe as always!I think we are leaning more towards something dry and chilly if I had to guess now.
That is the air pressure anomaly

@BarnetBlizzard It has some credit, as EFC46 is hinting in this direction for some time.

raz.org.rain It is an anomaly, but with 19c in the southern part of the Benelux, I guess it is a record for this time of the year. In the summer it would mean, 30c for sure.
