Interesting to see if this persists into the winter.

I remember reading some while ago that the Severe cold spells of Dec 1981
and early Jan 1982,were especially cold because of unusally cold waters in
the Artic off the coast of Norway

Mmm, that almost implies the gulf stream is taking a more southerly
route? Or is it just a case of the Arctic ice melt cooling those waters?
Either way, I wonder what effect it will have on us. I see there's still
the cold pool to the south of the grand banks, hang on there baby g

Well Rupert there are subtle changes not least the "tongue" of warmer water
now appearing along the coats of Norway. Also the cold intensity previously
to the east, on 27/9, has now edged a little to the west and become somewhat
less intense.

Early days yet....

I noticed that there is already sea ice along the east Greenland coast south
of Scoresby Sound. It can be seen in this afternoon's noaa12 pass. Rather
noisy signal I am afraid, but the ice is still clearly visible.
