Would be amazing, I'm off to Lapland for a week in December too, northen lights and a comet hopefully

Amazing, I remember walking on a back road during the blizzard and walked straight into drifting snow coming from a field, white out! Hoping for the same again this winter Oops for the double qote, still learning

Thank you Yarmy, I thought the map was strange also so I right clicked on the webpage and clicked "view source". This allows you to see the "structure" of the website....turns out the map is from Wikipedia and is titled Europe temperature map 2009!! False news by the looks of it, I thought it was interesting that other countries have their own mad(dens)ones creating headlines I shall double check I'm not posting false news in the future http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2d/Europe_Temperature_Map_2009-12.png

Many thanks!

Hey all, I'm pretty new on here but I have been a reader (lurker) for some time. Thought I'd take take the next step and join in. Been interested in the weather ever since I was a child. Whilst I do favour some weather types more than others, I enjoy all, bar days of uneventful dullness. I'm from the foot hills of the Snowdon mountain range in North Wales and in January of this year I experienced more snow than I ever thought I would. Whilst some parts of the UK experienced marginal events, here in North Wales we had a blizzard that lasted nearly 18 hours. Here is a short video I created as documentation of the event. I know many of you have probably seen more snow than what is in the video, but it is certainly the most that this area has seen during the 24 years of my life. However December of 2010 was the coldest with -12 recorded on the garden thermometer. Video production is my line of work so any exciting weather events this winter I shall record and share with you here! Looking forward to this winter's "cold chase". Enough about me, to the topic at hand It seems that France is coming out with some pretty sensationalist headlines... Europe will see the coldest winter in 100 years Is madden working for the french now? >.< A friend of mine from France posted this on facebook, the page is French but google chrome will give you an option to translate the page into english. http://www.eddenya.com/index.php/sante-et-sciences/3176-l-europe-connaitra-l-hiver-le-plus-froid-depuis-100-ans
