THURSDAY MIDDAY
MAJOR THAW ACROSS MUCH OF EUROPE NEXT 7-10 DAYS
I will be working on the rest of the winter update and put that out over the weekend. However, the cold is reversing now all over for a while, with the source region of air for the northwest maritime, the source region farther south and east coming from the southwest, and the icy grip of winter, which has had a choke hold so far, is letting up. The southeast part of Europe, which has not had it as bad as farther northwest with only one or two cold invasions and a lot of warmth also, stays warm.
So now here is the question... is this a flip with the worst over for the areas targeted in the center of the continent that I have it coldest this winter, and will it return and, if it does, farther south and east? My take is that the latter part of winter will see the worst of winter where it has not been that cold, the northwest has seen their worst, and the central part will reload more cold. Certainly, the idea of thawing was the best one... talk of the coldest winter ever, I think, can be put on the back burner for now, and that was never part of my forecast. But this is a major January thaw, and the question I will answer in my next update will have to do with this being the end, or just a break. I think the break part is right, but one that is saving much of Europe from what would have really been a problem. I surmise, though, given what should be becoming obvious to watchers of these things, that the days of thinking warm, warm, warm are over, and quite the opposite will occur in the coming years and decades, and the populace should understand the honeymoon is over, the marriage of low solar and reversing oceanic cycles along with a third-party (let's not go any further with non-weather implications... ha, ha), the volcanic activity, should raise eyebrows among the rational. Among others, short of being frozen out of ones abode, there is no getting attention.
Be looking for that.
Ciao for now. ***
