A weak polar vortex leads to the forecast for a cold January.
NOAA’s forecast is for a mild winter.
Whose forecast is correct?:
According to meteorologists, the so-called polar vortex will be weaker than usual this winter. For Germany, this will most likely mean a cold winter with Arctic cold spells, according to experts.
The last time a meridional weather pattern led to a winter of the century in Germany was in 1978/79. Back then, people experienced heavy snowfall, snowstorms and unusually low temperatures.
If the house is solidly built, you will stay warm in the winter.
Is a solid log cabin or a modern house the best?
Or is it the location where the house is built that is decisive?
A house in Alaska with dry air or a house in the rainforest with humid air?
A house on a hill or a house in a valley?
A house on the coast or a house inland? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVqwiMtoDhk
Do you shop for groceries inside? Do you never take the trash out? Is your car inside so you never have to go out to get to your car. Well, perhaps you have a heated attached garage, but not everyone can afford one of those. Most people simply cannot stay in the house for three months, waiting for winter to pass.
You can make your own toilet paper or use moss.
In the past, sphagnum moss was used as toilet paper.
Lonnie demonstrates a backwoods way of making “toilet paper” that could come in handy in an emergency when you just gotta go but have no toilet paper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySjHKCDKmkQ
Spinkster-
Once in awhile you come through. The toilet paper vid is a good example of that. I used to watch Lonnie all the time til he retired, but I didn’t remember that vid. Hope I never need this info, but glad to have it if I need it.
Hope you’re right but the begining of winter that we’re having in W Europe the last years is so suspicius.
They’re admiting that Azores High is expanded because of Climate propaganda and i’m starting to think that it’s been manipulated through geoingeniery…
With this super SSW that we’re having now, all the cold is going to USA and Asia, but Europe is having the same pattern year after year. This pattern changes just at the end of november when naturally the Azores High used to descend to lower latitudes, but it’s doing the oposite, becoming stronger (as in summer) and stronger, not allowing the cold descend to mid latitutes….
A weak polar vortex increases the chances of Arctic air descending into temperate regions but I don’t know if it’s possible to predict weeks in advance where this will happen.
If Arctic air descends over the US, as has just happened and is forecast to happen again in a week or so, this leads to a much sharper temperature gradient between the cold air and warm subtropical air. This tends to “fire up” the jet stream downwind i.e. to the east. A strong jet stream is highly likely to be zonal across the Atlantic and Europe keeping the Arctic air to the North and not allowing a blocking high to feed in very cold Siberian air. The result is that Europe stays mild and wet, as it has been for a couple of weeks and is forecast to do for at least another week to 10 days. With at least one more Arctic plunge forecast for the US the chances of any non mountainous area in Europe seeing a white Christmas is looking increasingly slim. Maybe the set up will change in the new year, the US will become milder and the chances of prolonged cold and snow over Europe will increase significantly, or it might stay more or less the same so the US continues to get very cold outbreaks and Europe has another mild winter.
Thanks Matt, that’s the logical explanation and i’m agree with you.I hope is just that. Also when la Niña becomes stronger the blocking high in South Europe is normal, but i think we have to keep an eye on the strenght of the Azores High…Is too much…
Is Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) going become a permanent fixture during the Grand Solar minimum? Heavy snow fall depositing heat in the upper atmosphere plus the power of two suns, one reflected off northern ice and one traveling directly through the atmosphere & merging or converging above the Arctic during the fall & spring seasons. My best bet would be on (SSW) events becoming the norm during the Grand Solar Minimum. If so, it looks like snow will be moving further to the south significantly affecting planetary albedo, the ability of the earth to reflect sunlight back into space.
That would start and continue temperature decline for the duration of the Grand Solar Minimum. Time will tell.
Perihelion is on January 3, 2026. Our proximity to the sun will be reduced by 3 million miles. If the aggressive nature of this winter abates until then, that proximity may contribute. After the third? Could be the worst in a long time. Probably will be.
The sky is falling! The sky is falling! An ice age is coming next month and AI driven robots are going to kill us all in our beds! If you don’t believe that, we’ll think of something else, because we want you freaked out and stressed out ALL the time!!! 😱
Don’t laff Deb. If the Beaufort Gyre reverse the Movie “Day after Tomorrow” becomes a reality.
And it has happened BEFORE! Remember Mammoths frozen standing up with food in their mouths? Yeah I a’int lookin for that BUT!!!
Keep warm as we are and hope this Winter FIZZLES.😘👌
For the last half-hour or longer, I’m getting the interference on my television that I associate with solar interference. It’s usually not this bad, nor does it usually last this long.
Program audio and video is unintelligible and occasionally stops altogether.
The sun has been very busy today. We have had several solar flares, including an X flare this morning. Although our KP index remains low at this time, I wonder if there’s some other way the sun could be messing with your reception?
Mystic’s comment above reminds me that Dirk Pitt once said there was some sort of connection between solar flares and heart attacks. I’ve been feeling like crap today. Guess I better pop an aspirin.
Willow trees grow in North America, thriving in wetlands and along rivers and ditches.
Is the oak forest too dry for willow trees?
Willows occur in North America and Eurasia. There are many species, varieties, and hybrids. Willows are cultivated worldwide. Most Missouri willows are associated with wet or low-lying areas: floodplains, fens, streamsides, riverbanks, gravel bars, swamps, ditches, and so on. Some, however, like the prairie willow, prefer drier, upland areas, hill prairies, or open woods. https://mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/field-guide/willows
Willow bark contains Willow bark contains salicin, a chemical compound that the body converts into salicylic acid, which is the basis for acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). Willow bark is a natural pain reliever.
City dwellers cannot survive by getting their own food from nature.
Only those who can be self-sufficient will survive when the societal collapse begins:
The Earths mag field is very weak and getting weaker. Air planes had to be grounded cuz of Deep solar energy changing a Zero to One in a Computer program making the plane drop FAST.
That could be a reason. We have fiber optic so we are “safe”.
My cable TV is hard wired from the power pole….but the cable company gets some/all their video feeds from the content providers via satellite reception.
I don’t see any point in getting a robot puppy, no matter how cute they are. I’m going to hold out till they make robot Rottweilers, so my robodog can chew on Spinky’s robot ankle.
Cap, the turning off of remote weather reporting stations is not a fluke. It appears to be essential to enable the GW folks to focus weather reporting stations where it is warmest, like in the cities. It appears to be planned to me and has been going on for quite some time. Unfortunately Mother Nature will have the last word with the bitter cold she is preparing for many of us.

I hope they are right. Winter is getting harder to take in my old age.

The problem is, you often have to walk out of your house to accomplish necessary things.
I cook, wash, do the dishes and sleep in the house. Do you do everything outside?
Do you shop for groceries inside? Do you never take the trash out? Is your car inside so you never have to go out to get to your car. Well, perhaps you have a heated attached garage, but not everyone can afford one of those. Most people simply cannot stay in the house for three months, waiting for winter to pass.
A moose in the freezer, potatoes and onions in the root cellar. What more do you need?
Toilet paper.

Your antenna signal is weak. Cracks in the antenna cable, moisture, poor connections, snow on the antenna, misaligned antenna.
My TV outage lasted something over an hour.
A mystery. The KP index is very low today. Supposed to go up tomorrow due to a CME.

Why buy aspirin when there is willow bark to pick in the forest?
Chew on willow bark or make tea from willow bark.
I have never seen a willow tree in my oak forest. And besides, aren’t you the guy who advocates staying in the warm and cozy house all winter?

Why don’t we concentrate on building armored robot mountain lions, so we can turn them loose on China’s robot soldiers?
