Blimey Keith, that must have been a hell of an earthquake to put
Reykjavik to our East! Mind you I suppose it is if you go right
around the world and approach it eastwards

I take your point, but I thought it was in a significant direction as
far as cold advection is concerned ;-)

Hi Keith
It would be good if you had comparisons for 1962. I think you will find a
massive difference of at least 10 or 15 C lower. These temperatures are
balmy compared with 1962, which does not lead me t o believe that anything
fromthe East is going to be that cold. We don't even see the 528 DM encroach
anywhere near the UK shores.

I had a look at one of those old charts for 23rd December 1962 and bare
in mind temperatures are for 06:00 hrs and I've just guessed where the
locations are from the map:

Oslo -13°C
Stockholm -6°C
Warsaw -15°C
Berlin -11°C
Paris -4°C
Reykjavik +4°C
Copenhagen -6°C

-5.4°C is not really a very cold day max for winter in Moscow, just above
average really (-5°C). I've experienced -17°C maxes on a couple of
occasions -- once skating in Gorky Park (now Park Kultury). A bit nippy!

We are obviously going to need a prolonged easterly to bring in anything
really cold from that direction. I remember in the last week of January,
1986 the wind turned to the east after a prolonged spell of zonal
weather that had taken mild conditions deep into Europe. It took almost
a week of easterlies before really cold weather reached the UK, but it
did eventually arrive.
