Seoul has seen its biggest single-day snowfall for 42 years after 12.2cm fell yesterday.

Kvikkjokk-Årrenjarka in Sweden has equalled its lowest recorded January temperature with -43.0C it is also the lowest January country temperature since 1999 when Karesuando dropped to -49.0C

Incredibly cold in Moscow - Surely locals would feel it? Never got above -26c today in Moscow and same for Saint Petersburg:

Temperatures are some 15 to 20c below seasonal January average for them - not a record breaker for cold but it's never been so cold over recent years and the fact that the cold has been on going for weeks or even over a month now is just remarkable...really is!!! When will it head our way?

Also look at Oslo - temperatures not set to rise above -20c by day on 5th:

- Just remarkable and yet the CFS and all long range models never went for such prolonged cold weather For Russia and Scandinavia - including Baltic regions. I remember C FS was for Russian and Scandinavia to be 1-2c above norm for December and near Norm for January but it's been well below norm for almost 1 month! - 

Imagine an easterly now for the UK?? 😋

Finland has had its coldest January temperature since 2006 with Enontekiö Airport dropping to -42.5c overnight

Even by Norway's standards, this looks pretty extreme

The heavy snow over northern Denmark, southern Sweden and southern Norway came courtesy of Storm Henk which stalled over Denmark and drew strong cold easterlies around its northern flank. This was along with copious precipitation no doubt enhanced by travel over the Baltic sea and North sea.

It reminds me of early January 1987, when daytime maxima in Moscow was below -25 C, and Helsinki below -30 C, both for several days I thought.
