Chances of something cold and wintry are slipping away, but there is still no model agreement. While there's no agreement, it's all up for grabs!
Slipped away the very next model run after I jinxed it a while back!Anecdotal I know, but once the cold floods into North America it tends to stick, and we don't tend to have cold when they do.
We are in the dip in the bulges (all highly technical!)

Indeed, when that East Coast cools down, it tends to drive the jet stream harder. [/img]
If I remember correctly though, 2010 saw both sides of the Atlantic in the freezer. I remember it for the rarity!
People murmuring about a possible indication of something colder, not ever so for us though.

Not related, but a satellite just recorded -93C in the High Ridge East Antarctica, only 0.2C warmer than the Aug 2010 satellite low earth record.
The official earth surface record, by conventional thermometer, is -89.2C Vostok Antarctica July 1983.

An element of good news. High pressure appears to be the next pattern. This will be to our East or South East, leading to pleasant days and cold nights.
Now, if that HP just moved a little bit north and sat over Scandinavia in time for Xmas there'll be melt down.
OK, maybe meltdown is the completely wrong word...

Call me pessimistic, but I tend to ignore articles with the headlines:SNOW BOMB: Wall of SNOW to SMASH UK as deadly blizzards hit in COLDEST freeze for 53 YEARS
That is probably the most 'Daily Mail' article I've read in my life and it's not even in the Mail...
