Do we ever really get a Siberian blast (other than in Daily Excess
headlines)? I know it's used as a description of cold windy weather, but
some people talk as if we actually get Siberian air over us, rather than
heavily modified continental air, which could have come from anywhere.
After all, Siberia is 2500 miles plus from us!

ISTR this question being asked before, I think it can happen but pretty
rarely.
We can certainly get air coming in from well inside Russia, Moscow and
further east, but that's not Siberia.
