If anything in the last month the negative anomalies in the North Atlantic
(40-60N and 10-40W) have lowered a little more when compared with last
month's values using this NCOF data that I have pieced together. There are
pockets of -3°C anomalies rather than the -2°C of last month. The Davis
Strait has also cooled with respect to last month too, but there are still
some high SST anomalies across the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. The
Norwegian sea has positive anomalies, but not quite as warm as August. I
don't what could be causing the isolated but intense cold anomaly of
Brittany but it's warmed out a little since last month.

For charts see:

====================

If this Atlantic anomaly persists or even intensifies then westerlies
would
be colder than normal this winter. This would mean more snowfall at
altitude.

I like the sound of that, but maybe 62 M isn't quite high enough...
================

No that is too close to sea level down here. More like 250 metres. Last
winter was classed as mild but even so there were many days on Dartmoor with
snow lying above 500 metres. A colder flow will bring that snowline down,
perhaps closer to sea level up north.
