Severe Winter

is there any truth to this or is it scaremongering again.

It's in the paper so it must be true

[ZONE 51]

I would say it is quite spot on in their article, I don't think their over doing it with what they say because if we look at the facts we can see why it could evolve. since 2008 winter has become in a pattern of blocking and with this Arctic and Siberian cold blasts so a higher probability of the same set-up for winter 2013/14. If we look at the prospects of what synoptics there could be this winter then things make more sense rather then thinking the story is overdone, high precipitation and colder than average temperatures means higher snowfall then average, deep cold build up Atlantic weather systems interacting with cold..more snow.

And of course long range model data and other signals indicates the possible freeze this winter(even this Autumn..)
