To early to look at charts with highs in those regions, I've seen these
form every year since I can remember. My 'gut' feeling is a winter
comparable to 1969 / 1970 which had some quite severe spells
interspersed with milder intelludes.

What is different this year, compared to the last couple, is I have not
yet seen extreme cold temperatures in northern Scandinavia.


Yes, I noticed that this year. I oftyen monitor the weather in
Kiruna, Sweden, where I once lived, and notice that they have had no
snow yet and that last night was the first with a temperature below
-5C.

Might get some snow this weekend though. That 528 line is getting
closer all the time.

Maybe these
are going to arrive later in the winter and then the winds turn in our
direction? Previously, the 'milder' air has returned to these regions
when we look like getting a NE wind. Just an observation. But things to
appear to be different this autumn.
