    I guess all the cold which was meant for Atlantic went to Europe
    It is the warmest winter ever in here, I probably can count snow days just using my fingers


    BP's oil spill has changed the Gulf stream?

    gromozeka!!! good to hear from you and thanks for the video and photo! I know I should not be so excited about the video; however, artistically it is beautiful. My daughter and I love the ending part with the icicle formed on things because of the water surge. That is something you certainly don't see every day! It reminds me of the hurricanes that we have here in the summertime, yet without the rain.

    I hope that your cousin is keeping WARM and dry. Please send her our best!!

    hahaha... I like this from one of the sites gromozeka had linked to:

    How different people tolerate low temperatures:
    • +10 C: Americans are shaking. Russian cucumbers planted in gardens.
    • +1.6 C: The Italians do not start the car. Russian drive with lowered windows.
    • 0 C: Water freezes in America. In Russia, the water thickens.
    • - 17.9 C: New York landlords turn on the heaters. Russian last of the season go on picnics.
    • - 42 C: In Europe, transport is not functioning. Russian eating ice cream on the street.
    • - 73 C: Finnish special forces evacuate Santa Claus from Lapland. Russian fur cap worn.
    • - 114 C: Ethyl alcohol freezes. In Russian a bad mood.
    • - 273 C: Absolute zero, ostananavlivaetsya atomic motion. Russian curse: "It's cold, blah!"

    I like weather and meteorology. Also I like extreme weather like cold in Russia and cyclones... I will discuss with you in this topic.

    Where I live, there are many different factors for weather.
    "Thunder-Snow" is common. We have had a mild winter this year. Last year was brutal!
    I'm easily amused late at night...

    Oh what a ghastly winter I've had this year in Sweden.
    Everything has been wrong with the weather.

    No snow in time for the first of Advent (normally in Stockholm there is some by then).
    No snow for the St Lucia festival on 13th December. This holiday is pointless without snow, might as well cancel it!
    No snow for my birthday on 18th December.
    No snow for Christmas!!!!
    No snow for New Years...

    Snow arrived mid January.
    It was not cold really, minus 3 degrees or so. Only about 2 weeks of -15 in February.

    The only month with some solid snow was February.

    Currently there is NO snow apart from some dirty piles of black snow at parking lots etc

    There have been reports of bears waking up early from their winter sleep. One person got attacked by a very grumpy bear who should have been sleeping. The person had not believed it even WAS a bear until the bear was practically about to kill him, because they always sleep until mid April. Fortunately he survived.

    Imagine living in a country that has 3-4 hours of daylight for about 2 months, with NO SNOW! You practically become suicidal.
    I won't spend any more winters here...

    I am sure this must be global warming! What do you think?

    What's the winter been like in the USA, Canada and Russia?

    In Moscow there was a cold period in January and February, March was cold too, while December and the beginning of January were like you described. I don't think it's a global warming. I'm not sure whether this warming is really going on, and climate changes are caused by natural processes.
    Lampada, it must be как ни крути.

    My report is from where Siberia begins.
    Winter was more or less normal. Snow covered ground early in November, and now it is melting fast. However, there was not snowing in 2012 at all!
    January was a bit too cold, but December and February were regular: -15..-20 mostly.
    Now we are going to have all the amenities of local spring, like this:

    We had a very mild weather till the end of January (much milder than usual). Then there was a quite sharp change from temperatures around zero C to extreme cold. Because of that this spring was a bit delayed, with last bits of snow melting away only a few days ago (in shadowed places some ice crust still can be found).

    I think there's definitely "something" (maybe not a global warming per se), that screws with the weather. Seasons "schedule" is not what it used to be more often than not.

    Yesterday, Ледоход went on our river, Иртыш.
    For people from south, I found the video of phenomenon, captured by someone else last year:
    Ледоход на Иртыше - YouTube

    I cannot remember that the ледоход would happen so early.
    April, 14th is way too soon , all thanks to the unusually warm April.
    Normally it should be 5-10 days later.
