  1. First big winter storm is forecast for the weekend and could dump between 20-25cm of snow by Sunday night...here Autumn is now over..i suspect the snow that falls will now be on the ground until April.

     

    Temperature anomalies over Europe (from GFS) are very interesting. Here is forecast for next 8 days (GFS init today, 06UTC)

    Indeed there is cooler conditions expected in northern parts of UK, but there is huge positive anomaly over Europe with temperatures 6 deg C above normals in some parts. In fact average temperature for this period is higher in eastern Belarus than in northern UK ;)

  2. I think that lower solar activity has nothing to do with cold winters. Very cold months as feb 1956 or 1962/3 winter came near highest solar activity peak in 20th century. 

    In Poland we have warmer winters at begining of 20th century, when solar activity was weak.

     

    Here is my reconstruction of monthly temperature anomalies after 1825 for Poland area:

  3. What is really sad about J.Madden is that he apparently think that there was major Gulfstream slowdown between 2009 and 2010, which he often illustrates like that:

    However it's not true. This image shows results of RTOFS model and "slowdown" is a result of changes in model, not in ocean currents. This change occured between sep 18 2009 and sep 19 2009. You can check this here:

    18/19 sep 2009 difference:

    What is even more sad is that I send him an email about this issue in august 2011.
