Warm southerly winds restricting ice growth in the Siberian seas.

I had noticed Ojmjakon in Siberia was about 4.5°c above normal for
October this year, but in the last week of the month the temperature
dropped like a stone and is where is should be now.

Yes, temporary synoptics is what I'd put the slow start to the

continue, the freezing has accelerated again and the temperatures in
that part of the world are cold.
