EXTREME COLD TAKING COLD FROM SPAIN TO THE UKRAINE AND NORTH. EURO SNOWCOVER EXPANDS ANEW.
After two days of the worldwide Jan. 1-10 temp challenges, the selected cities in the Far East, North America and Europe combined stand at -6! The core of the cold is just starting its attack. This forecast was issued back at Christmas and it’s only now that the media picked up on my ideas.
The threat of crippling snow looks to be less for England as the storm track is too far southeast. However, there will be plenty of snow in this part of Europe the next 7-10 days and we can all argue with each other on which was worse, the cold or snow. I am starting here because I appear I was overdone yesterday on the late week snow threat. It is going to snow, but not as much a I thought in over such a wide area. There will be areas that have their deepest winter snowcover in many years by the 10th.
But for the continent as a whole, this next week to 10 days will be as severe as any in the past 20 years. I hear talk of it being the worst in 100 years; I don’t know about that, since I had not researched back that far. One could have snuck in without me seeing it. But the winter, as I opined earlier is going to one overall that will remind us of what Dickens would write about.
Overall, the storm is moving farther south and east and that spares England from the widespread extreme event (Again most places are going to get significant snow over the next week to 10 days, but the specific storm threat is something I believe I erred on. I am sure my detractors will come after me… which amuses me since most of them had no idea this kind of winter was on the way in the first place.) However farther southeast, it means the snowcover spreads back south again and it may even snow a second time on the Riviera… isn’t that Nice?
Overall, for the continent, it’s the second surge, and worse than the first, of weather that leads to more hardship than the general European public was lead to believe would happen from the non private sources.
