That pic is awesome Rob, I can see why you like it so much!
If only it could have been that epic down here
Looking at the output to day 10 from GFS and ECM, it looks like the colder than usual Arctic temps are spreading out to the lower latitudes. During the next 5 days or so, it's the American side that sees a lot of cold air spreading unusually far south for the time of year. Days 6-10, it's Asia that gets in on the act. The cold is so extensive that it has some effect across Scandinavia too.
The establishment of early snowcover and cold pooling looks to sprint out of the starting blocks this year. IF that was to combine with the NE Pacific ridge/east U.S. trough/mid-Atlantic ridge/UK trough/Scandinavia-Siberia ridge pattern... well, I'd be buying more than just a new shovel!
