This morning we measured a snow depth of 39 cm in Stockholm which is a record for November. Latest record was 29 cm (1985 and 2004).

Amazing pictures @cheese

No matter how much we chase model output cold signals and epic blocking its hard to swallow that London and most other UK major cities will never experience snow like that ( Apart from Hills and Mountains of the North)

Some parts of Stockholm have recorded 20 inches and many sources along with weather officials predict a very cold and snowy winter for Sweden this season

Nice pics indeed. @cheese

The forecast for this winter in Sweden is very interesting. You can see alot of similarities to winter 2009-2010 and that was a really cold story.

Right now it looks like we gonna get milder weather in the coming 1-3 weeks, but it might be followed by a cold snap in the beginning of december.

I was in New York between Dec 2002 & Feb 2003 for work when the city had a really bad snow storm in the Feb with a "nor-easter" - about 60cm fell in one day but apart from the subway nothing else inside the immediate city shut down, the airports outside the city shut & some schools might have done but all the shops inside Manhattan didn't. People were doing the best they could shovelling and using snow blowers, also the sheer amount of people in New York soon trod the snow down anyway. I suppose the good thing about living in NYC is there's a food store pretty much on every street so even in an epic snowstorm you don't have to walk far to get some supplies like I did. Had to buy some wellies though that day as my feet and bottom part of my legs got absolutely soaked in normal shoes! we had about 5 inches of snow earlier in the Winter but no where near as bad as Feb.
