I'll have some of that, I'll raise you 10. My reasoning is this. 20 years
ago this current synoptic would have delivered for the UK, however in these
globally warmed times (be it man made or not) the warm SST's around our
shores will push this monster Artic HP SE. Again we will find the Greek
peninsula to be the recipient. 20 years ago the advancing cold air wouild
have met a warm Meditarenean, thus encouraging rapid cyclogenesis in this
area, this in turn would anchor the Artic monster. Instead this time the
advancing cold air on the Monsters Eastern flank will meet little resistance
further East over the Turkish plains and inevitably the monster will sink
into the subtropics and die!


Going by the trend in recent years, I wonder how many years it will be
before the average number of days per year with snow lying in Athens
exceeds that in London!
