I love these  Would be interesting to see say, 5 days further on from the start of each easterly, to see how things had evolved and if the cold really took hold

---

Bump! Just to raise the spirits of course. (Yes, I know its only November but its grey outside and I crave some interesting charts).

---

an excellent interesting post to start of such an intriguing thread, nice to know for future reference thanks

Amazing amount of research there. Thanks

---

Thanks Kevin,
Some fantastic set ups there.
Can see how '87 was a good un. Interesting chart for 1962 which shows HP over both Iceland and Scandinavia. That 1890 chart with that very cold air further upstream looks ominous.

Great stuff Kev!
