May see a little bit of that soon http://www.yr.no/place/Russia/Other/Hanty-Mansijsk/

October 9 2008 was the best match for the gain in Siberia with a northern Canada loss ,so there's time for bigger negatives!some people may like a Sep 29th snow vid (first minute or two) http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVGn8BowRc8&feature=plcp

Just an interesting comparison October 9 2008 and the latest map Same sort of gain in Siberia and some of the same loss in North Canada, which is not found on other maps, normaly the maps show snow below greenland

I will keep an eye on it too, see if it can beat last year http://www.webcams.t...Harstad-Harstad Like you say a very mild Location http://www.yr.no/pla...statistics.html

It does freeze over in winter, probably a gradual process from the start of the winter months. Local Coast Guard breaking Ice for supply ship. Tourist Ship stuck in ice.

Hope they fix the webkamera soon! Not looking as Daz white as Wednesday but still good to see.

me too don't want to wait till mid or late October for decent dumps of snow especialy in the north of the nordic area

Iceland and Siberia doing better today.

http://forum.netweat...ttach_id=140722We have a result! Now By 6th October will the negative amount of snow be turned to positive? worth a look today? http://www.webcams.t... Come on Grow ice grow!

gottolovethisweather Many Thanks. It doesn't look great as others have said, but remember back in 2008 there was quite widespread snow even in the south of the UK, come late October. To allow a comparison, is there a comparable chart out there for 2008 at this time or indeed a month on from there? Whilst I am not exactly forecasting such an event, there are certainly background signals out there, which indicate a probable, cool down from the northern parts. Harshwintercoming '' I would be well chuffed If anyone has any interesting signal or snow, artic ice producing weather modeling graphics etc to combine with snow events maps shortly before during and after they happen it would really pad things out here in this lean period of my lack of snow maps and snow chasing webcams and snow forecasts. Feel free to hijak this thread away from me! '' gottolovethisweather Since we are now past the Equinox, this NH thread should and will be getting a lot more attention in my opinion. The time period to which I get interested in, is from approximately mid way through the Autumn Equinox right up to mid way though the Winter Equinox. Using this crude system, my excitable period would last from roughly the 7th November to the 6th February. In that timeframe, snow would be much more likely to settle IMBY and stick around. Whatever opinion one has, if you keep your hopes and fears relatively low, then when the surprise comes along, they can be cherished, even more so.

My mistake, was fooled by the link posted by yido http://stevengoddard...d-country-club/ which does not prove the claim so here is one that does show it at -39C on the 8th September http://weather.glads...e=04418&days=28 Temps looking pretty normal for the towns of Greenland in the short term http://www.yr.no/place/Greenland/

Imagine this in four weeks time to match up with 2011! Expecting it to 'put down the pedal' in October.

Good point, heres the snow cover and lack of snow maps

Thanks for that, its looking good in the true Lapland of Finland tonight could be the remains of the wet weather we had. then 2hrs later More on sunday? http://www.yr.no/ste...tidsvarsel.html Webcam link for Kiruna http://www.webbkamer...unakommun_1.php

Did not want to spoil the fun and say it looked less! up to 1.7mm maybe due Sunday http://www.yr.no/place/Norway/Svalbard/Longyearbyen/long.html

Don't know what happened to the weather link here is the same address but working http://www.yr.no/pla...yarsk/Noril'sk/

For those looking for views of it, snowfall may happen in Lapland on Sunday .http://www.yr.no/pla...hytta/long.html The hotel with the webcam http://www.skjolden....i/webkamera.htm has a Facebook page https://www.facebook...198820446863130 showing some good views of its snowy location.

Will be interesting to see if it gets rid of the negative amounts of Snow there, It links up to this forcast in the General area http://www.yr.no/pla...yarsk/Noril'sk/ and a chance to see it turn from this to white on Saturday http://www.eurowebca...ria-russia.html Notice the snow on the mountain in the background.

And its going nowhere fast, with a possible refill Saturday http://www.yr.no/place/Norway/Svalbard/Longyearbyen/long.html

Snow at sea level Longyearbyen Svalbard Norway. Must of been some of the first snow on the dock.Winters is on the way. . Alaska gets snow! Fresh snow was in Mongolia, and now crossed into Southern Russia which has a latitude like Sheffield's. Inc. last years Snow Anomaly 5 days ago then latest showing new snow in China and Mongolia

Latest lack of snow map! Note It has been worst in some previous years.

Hope your right with the leaning towards an above average October BFTV a October 1976 snow cover would be interesting.

Light drizzle in Lincoln being in the eye of the storm the pressure is heading towards 980mb http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/EGXW

'BornFromTheVoid' I think over the course of the winter the open water does generate more snow. But it probably isn't quite cold enough for that effect to take hold until October. I think I'll stick to what CM said for now. ''dont forget the great lakes etc in the US and Canada are relatively warm come early winter so great deal of snow is produced but this amount falls significantly as winter progresses and they get colder and colder to the point were little or no snow is produced...i would guess because the waters to the North of Russia are so cold there will be very little in the way of convective snow produced.'' I'll be waiting to see if October delivers the goods, as the ice gets close. we will see if it comes before that.
