Even for Siberia, such cold weather is unusual, and the air temperature is noticeably lower than the climatic norm, by 8-12 degrees. And the frosts will intensify.
The anticyclone will intensify and the frosts will become stronger. Abnormally cold weather (air temperature below normal by 7 degrees or more) is expected on February 22 and 23 in the regions of Altai, Khakassia, Omsk, Novosibirsk. In the Kemerovo region, the cold will last until February 24, frosts of up to -40 degrees and below are expected at night. https://www.hmn.ru/index.php?index=1&ts=240222130215

A powerful Asian anticyclone swept the expanses of Siberia with its influence. Atmospheric pressure in the center reaches 1060 hPa and continues to rise.
The negative temperature anomaly reached 12-16 degrees. Cold records have been updated at several weather stations. https://www.gismeteo.ru/news/weather/v-sibiri-udarili-anomalnye-vlasevskie-morozy/

Anticyclone in Kazakhstan either
In Kazakhstan, frosts reach -45°C
In the anticyclone area, frosty weather without precipitation remains. Very severe frost with a night air temperature of up to -40°C degrees persists in the east of the Karaganda region, severe frost -45°C in the north and east of the eastern region of Kazakhstan. https://www.hmn.ru/index.php?index=1&ts=240222100539

The Winter is slowly lengthening and wanting to enter in the Spring… isn’t it!?
It’s the trend, isn’t it!?
“The UN describes dzuds as “a peculiar slow-onset disaster unique to Mongolia … extreme winters characterized by freezing temperatures, heavy snow and ground so frozen that animals cannot reach pasture — and they’re an increasing phenomenon.” ”
It seems safe to say the dzud conditions turn the ground in to a seasonal version of a frozen tundra. Cold + snow + frozen ground.
I could go back and look up the Kamchatka SO2 plume from that one, that was a MONSTER but nobody give a rat’s a$$. Big storms here from that blast.
The Sun feels very warm now here today my grass is growing just mowed it last week it’s already due. Never even put my snow tires on this winter. why bother? Flowers are blooming, a bumble bee just flew by. Like Spring here.

I don’t understand how these sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) events work to result in lower level cold displacements.
Mexi volcano pops from flares, Diamond has a vid: Two X flares and two others yesterday as Mercury was opposite the Sun from Earth.

The sunspot that fired off the second largest flare of the cycle an X3.3 on 2/9 is right around the corner. Mercury goes by Mars on the Full Moon this weekend. It goes by Jupiter on the New Moon two weeks later. Last time Mercury went by Jupiter 12/14/23 is caused the strongest flare ever recorded over the South Atlantic Anomaly Zone where the mag shield is gone.

Last time Mercury went by Mars 11/28/23 was a solar flare party. Direct hit Halo flare.

Not mars, Saturn on 11/28. Mercury goes by Saturn this weekend again. Another direct hit M4.4 a bit ago over Hawaii:

Hey dirk, you neglect to say where is ‘here’. Where are you?

No CMEs from the three big X flares, No proton or electron hits. Only two sunspots so this counts as a GSM win, TCI looks like 1968 weak SC20.

I promise I won’t comment tomorrow and clutter up the place. I’ll go whale watching and read One year after by Forstchen.
