With the duration and intensity of the early winter low temperatures
(when compared to recent years), I'm wondering what this is going to
do to affect the usual outbursts of cold air we get later in the
winter. Over the past few years, these have been modified by the
higher sea surface temperatures. Has anyone got any ideas on what
might happen this year? Are the current SSTs being depressed
sufficiently to have an indelible effect on the rest of the winter or,
given a few weeks return to zonal weather, are they going to bounce
back with no lasting consquences?

remarkable, really!)
