Very interesting read and even if wrong, good of you to spend the time and effort to explain your reasons for why a cold winter in the UK is possible.

Thank You and hope you are right of course

Im presuming if blocking prevails into early december and we get a ssw in mid december, that can possibly mean even more extreme patterns emerging., especially if blocking is still occuring  I'm sensing a lot high latitude blocking possible early december, what effects on the northern hempishere would we expect if we added an ssw into the mix, with the blocking already established in some shape or form?

Great read & very interesting, especially regarding the relative warmth in the arctic helping drive the blocking.  Leaving AGW climate change aside for a minute, this also ties in quite nicely with what we know about the 1940s - as there are records showing a reduction of ice in the arctic around that time (likely ocean circulation changes) while at the same time there was some extreme winter blocking. Ice then recovered and was fairly extensive in the 60s I believe (and then even more expansive through the 70s) so probably a different process in that decade leading to some of the blocked winters that occurred.

This is quite a good read. Of course the problem we have is that no one really knows how good the data was back then (so hard to compare with now), but there's definitely some evidence of a decline around the 30s and 40s (would fit with the AMO cycle too) - although it seems to have been quite variable too (i.e. would bounce back strongly during the cold winters).
