Too young to remember the event, however, look at those heights over Ukraine/Romania very similiar synoptics to what we have now.

Did Nov 1984 or was it 83 bought a lot of dry frosty weather that stayed for many days. I remember our dry ski-ing being cancelled 2 weeks in a row as was too misty/icy ?

[Thundery wintry showers]

It wouldn't have been November 1984, but there was an anticyclonic spell in the third week of November 1983. November 1985 had a lot of cold anticyclonic weather.
