Good evening everyone.

We were just sitting under +38.5C (today's max) and were thinking about our
dream winter. Wijke wants the first snow to settle on dutch grounds around
mid December and settled conditions thereafter, so that temperatures drop
considerably and ice is allowed to form in the open. An anticyclone should
then form over N or NW Europe and allow very cold air masses to go all the
way down to Greece, thus resulting in massive snowfall events around Athens.
The Netherlands will be lounging below a really cold air pool until mid
March, while record low temperatures should be observed in Greece.
Anyone care share their dream winter with us?

P.S.: We understand that our assumptions may be contradicting the basics of
atmosphere physics, but we truely believe that our dream senario is
feasible, given a spell of increased seismicity on Mars and Venus in mid
November (earth time) ;-)
