I would imagine vast anticyclones of unimaginable intensity would quickly
form over all land masses, even the tropical ones. The Sahara can
become quite cold at night even now.
The temperature contrast from the still warm oceans to that over the land
would be enormous. I think that the weather in continental fringes such
as the UK would be 'interesting' to say the least!
Ferocious blizzards would result, the snow probably piling up many metres
high. But of course unlike now when the mild air often wins the cold air will
push relentlessly on into the Atlantic.......


Oh my God! Does that mean endless snow reports from Nguk


Yup

And with him being in the east he'll be one of the first to be claiming
that he's seen flakes of solid nitrogen floating down as the air freezes out!
