The Danish Met Office has forecasted a 50 % chance of a really cold February for Scandinavia, due to the Arctic Low being rather vulnerable at the present moment and that it could result in means between -5°C and -10°C for Southern Sweden. It wouldn't be something I'm against, given that February sees more daylight and sunshine so there's more of an opportunity of being outdoors in the winter wonderland than it said thing happened in January.

So long as March gets to be average or above, I'm happy.

Anyway - Lets enjoy what January and February have to offer. (Lets hope Cold and Snow!)



I would be ay okay with a cold March and April!


A cold Jan/Feb would be great too.

Sunny today but oddly enough still above freezing, which goes against the usual trend for sunny days around Winter Solstice with the 8° sun angle. What was worse was that some rain fell after sunset as mild westerlies came in. This heat map is from the 2 pm Central European Time temps today. All maritime locations beneath 63°N were 4°C or above out on the open sea.

Speaking of the open sea, some Greenlandic air today drew a long way across the Gulf Stream at 67°N, rendering -1°C temps way offshore and at a further easterly latitude than Iceland.

You should move to the North Pole if you love cold and snow so much, I’m sure you’d have second thoughts on the matter if you lived there.
