In a week, the coldest air yet is expected over Siberia, where the European model forecasts temperatures to reach an astonishing 50 degrees below normal.
It’s the “largest area of 50°F below normal I’ve seen on global map for temps,” tweeted Ryan Maue, a meteorologist for WeatherBEll Analytics.
Cold and snowy weather has dominated Eastern Europe for days and Siberia for weeks. According to Weather.com
During October, snow cover over Eurasia ranked third most extensive in records, which date back to 1967.
This week, snow has spread farther west into Europe, falling in parts of Germany, Switzerland, France, Scotland and Scandinavia.
Stockholm was buried in over 15 inches of snow Wednesday, the most snow to fall in November in 111 years of records.
The snow in Stockholm snarled traffic, and some commuters were forced to abandon cars according to reports:
Frigid temperatures have poured into Scandinavia in the wake of the snowstorm, as low as 13-below zero (-25 Celsius).
In a week, the coldest air yet is expected over Siberia, where the European model forecasts temperatures to reach an astonishing 50 degrees below normal.
It’s the “largest area of 50°F below normal I’ve seen on global map for temps,” tweeted Ryan Maue, a meteorologist for WeatherBEll Analytics.
Just like the abnormally warm pattern shows no sign of abating over North America, the cold pattern over Eurasia appears reluctant to loosen its grip. In 11-15 days, the weather model still shows cold air locked over the region.
