While western Europe misses out on the fun, the northern hemisphere has just recorded it's largest December snow cover area on record!

Does anyone have the link to post the snow and ice map for the NH? Hopefully, snow has come a bit closer to the UK, otherwise an Easterly, if it happens, may not deliver.

The snow rankings against the last 47 years tell the story of 2010 v 2011 but how will DEC 2012 compare?!!

and Eurasia got a nearly as impressive 2nd place 'wonder who let them down!' Only joking. http://climate.rutge...gs.php?ui_set=1

Still waiting keenly on the Asia and Europe chart to be showing signs of a fight back. But it will come http://www.snow-fore...ow.next3to6days Expecting it to get back to Germany and part of france...sooon 3 to 6 day snowfall chart shows that and more...

Looks like joe b was right we do seem to be having a very severe NH winter but as per usual our little dot of an island is missing out, damn gulf stream!!

The push back since sunday

If this snow advance was compared to the World of tanks game the word would be 'attack!'

Please!

3 to 6 day forecast

Latest look at the big picture and its a upgrade for the 3 to 6 day snowfall forecast

Turkey shows how it's done, Italy improves and the ice makes a big jump towards iceland and wants to make a bridge to Japan.

Looking for upgrades for Spain Ireland Norway western France and Italy .....not to worried about the UK! Apart from that its one of the great years for snow covering of the northern hemisphere.

Latest little snow 'pushes' so expect the red negatives to go soon, 3-6day expected snowfall

We'll be posting copies of the classic Dec 2010 photo soon - Whiteout !!

It doesnt look as if there will be too much extra snow cover in the next week over Europe.

Or am I reading it wrong?

It could turn out like that, for example http://www.yr.no/pla.../Rome/long.html http://www.yr.no/pla...aris/long.html

But Wales crossing into England has orange on it on the 3 to 6 day chart to keep things interesting closer to home

Yes

that Ice is very close to northern Japan now, the people in Monbetsu could soon walk to the north pole at this rate!

Bearing in mind that sea ice touching Hokkaido is not uncommon.

Reading the charts the Japan sea ice looks normal, long may it continue given the lack of northern hemisphere ice recently.

Spain and North Africa should be covered in a few days .. and considering the big chunk of ice and hence snow missing to our north we must be approaching record levels of 'on - land ' snow but Ireland to stay GREEN lol

Here in N. I. ..lol stands for Loyal Orange Lodge .. [ the Orange Men ]...lol !?!?!?

The orange on the snow charts for Wales has gone now but if Northern Ireland were to get a super heavy snowfall and the South less, that would look good! 3 day expected

Not much snow cover change friday to Saturday Snow pulls back to the Alps

Things look more positive now
