Early thick snow covers parts of Finland

That's it I am moving to Finland in November  , maybe by then it will be roof height

Personally, I'd be more than happy with a Dec 10 coupled with shorter (7 day?) cold/snowy spells in Jan, Feb & Mar

back for the next few months, let the roller coaster begin.


looking a tad fresh, would anyone REALLY wish for  8/9 months of sub zero and ice....I love the cold and snow but in equal measure I really welcome the warmth and sun, long may summer continue...http://www.kimmirutweather.com/

No real seasons apart from a brief Summer and a very long brutal Winter.


Never going to happen in this country but hey!

A winter like 2009/10 is only just good enough for me, but realistically that is the 8 th coldest in the CET record since 1900.

Stormchaser:
"The SST-based prediction is particularly interesting, as I believe that the current situation of anomalously low SSTs around the Azores and anomalously warm SSTs to the SW, S and SE of that region has been a primary factor in driving trough development in the middle of the North Atlantic over the past few months, producing the frequent Atlantic trough + Euro/Scandi High combinations that we've seen.

"Take that on into winter, add a driving force to enhance the blocking from Greenland to Svalbard, and you've got a recipe for storms tracking into Iberia/the Med. and interacting with cold continental air near or over the UK."
________________________________________

The current situation around the Azores is nicely shown as you describe it on this map:
http://weather.unisys.com/surface/sst_anom_new.gif 

And the Met Office model suggests a similar set-up may persist into the winter:
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/images/prob_ensemble/20140901/2cat_20140901_sst_months46_global_deter_public.png 

Would be nice to spend a winter without having to watch a persistent Azores high scuppering any attempts by the jet to dive south of the UK.

My prediction is that it will be colder than last winter but we will see rain every now and then. I think January could be a cold month. December story around average and February around average with 1 cold spell.

Would gladly take a repeat of last year's boisterousness,  though preferably a lot more ummph in those Atlantic storms than was the case in Winter 2013-2014 as they were, by standards here in Ireland at least, pretty limp affairs.  Would also like to see something akin to 1947, with frequent easterly gales & blizzards.  Something I hope I never see again is repeat of Winter 2009-2010. While consistently very cold and frosty, it was also consistently boring.


 


Cold or mild,  I'll take anything this coming winter as long as there is vigour in it.

Hi all.

I have read on a few Tweets this week that the long range models are pointing towards a blocked winter... but I remember this time last year and seeing a lot of 'reds' (high pressure) over Greenland forecast, dark reds in fact, but we ended up having a stupidly mild and unsettled winter. I remember getting excited about it but then it failed to manifest, the opposite infact! haha. After that I really don't trust them. I know they are a guideline but they were far off the mark. :)

IIRC it was the Beijing/Chinese long range model that predicted last Winter would be wetter than average over NW Europe and the UK. I don't think many others showed this.

The CFS model seems to have been pretty consistent in forecasting a low pressure anomaly below Alaska for the winter months, of course it was high pressure here last winter that caused the extensive cold for the US last winter.

"Winter" looks like it will be here to stay now in Siberia. Nice weather coming up.

And will only intensify as we move into the latter part of October and beyond!
