They are expecting it to hit here Friday. Forecast temperature of 30 + or – 10f. You know how accurate the NWS is and the others have the same predictive power.
NSIDC report for October mentions the past month weather
“In addition to the effects from open water, weather patterns also contributed to warm conditions in some areas. For most of October, a high-pressure system sat over the Beaufort and Chukchi seas and Greenland, while unusually low pressure dominated the Kara and Barents seas. This pattern resembles the atmospheric pattern observed in October 2009, bringing warm air from lower latitudes to warm the Arctic. ”
Looks like that must be changing then. I think Bastardi said winter for Alaska and also Russia would be brutal, we shall see.
Mild in Blighty at the moment. Last November was warmer than usual though and we ended up with the coldest winter in my lifetime. It seems we’re mostly at the mercy of the North Atlantic Oscillation. So what will that do? Answers on a postcard, please.

Is it just me, or does that look like La Nina pattern?

Bracing for a good freeze here this weekend in Oklahoma City. Been a mild fall so far…
