Massive snowstorm hits NE USA some great pictures http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/worldnews/9862803/US-snowstorm-in-pictures-massive-blizzard-causes-chaos-in-the-Northeast.html?frame=2477294
LIA is happening Blast 20f to 30f below normal next week across USA (dont forget winter hasent started yet)-25c across Finland http://www.finlandtimes.fi/weather/2014/11/06/11410/Snow-storms-cause-massive-power-outage-in-Ostrobothnia .The problem is Blast can the UK get on the right side of LIA LIA doesen"t always mean just snow events ,just more extremes of weather,Even though saying that some long term forcasts have said cold end to November.
With USA stuck with the polar votex ,it looks like the same pattern as last year ,I expect USA going to have a severe winter(as bad as 1976) ,and us the extreme wet one,
Worth watching and glancing a envious eye across to USA a tweet from a friend in Maine Second winter storm warning of the month issued for Northern Maine with up to a foot of snow expected to add to the foot received this past weekend. A third storm to hit next week. We may have the snowiest month on record if this keeps up.
